The Yanghuopan Power Station, Yulin City, Shaanxi, will save 24,500 tonnes of coal and cut 54,100 tonnes of yearly carbon emissions by adopting a new fan-less cooling technology called "natural direct cooling" (NDC). The technology, developed by Powerchina Northwest Engineering Corporation Ltd., uses the natural airflow within the facility to guide the heat toward the air condenser without the need for water pumps or fans.
