There are two main types of dry cooling systems: a direct air cooling system, typically known as an air-cooled condenser (ACC), and an indirect air cooling system, also called a Heller system. An ACC takes steam exhaust from the turbine and pumps it through the top of a long A-frame structure.
Mayroong dalawang pangunahing uri ng mga dry paglamig system: isang direktang naka paglamig sistema, karaniwang kilala bilang isang pinalamig ng hangin pampalapot (ACC), at isang hindi direktang naka paglamig system, na tinatawag ding Heller system.
