Abstract

The invention relates to assisted flow ventilation heat exchanger systems which comprise heat exchangers disposed at the bottom of a cooling tower with a fan assisted flow and wherein the exchangers are disposed in such a way that they fulfill a distributor function for the fan, i.e. they provide an angular momentum to the cooling fluid which is such as to counteract the angular momentum provided by the fan.
