Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As terminal cold sources, large-scale cooling systems are widely used in thermodynamic systems, especially in thermodynamic power stations with conventional, nuclear, or solar energy. With the increasing need for energy and water savings, as well as carbon and drainage reduction, cooling processes and technologies have attracted widespread attention thanks to their crucial impacts on the safety, economy and environmental friendliness of thermodynamic processes. Comprehensive studies on cooling systems would lay good foundations for the development of innovative cooling processes and technologies with high cooling efficiency, low water consumption and good intelligence. This Special Issue provides a forum for authors to present novel studies on cooling theory, processes, technology, apparatus, and systems, as well as comprehensive reviews on state-of-the-art developments in cooling systems. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Once-through cooling system;
- Mechanical draft cooling system;
- Natural draft wet cooling system;
- Natural draft dry cooling system;
- Direct air cooling condenser;
- Dew Point indirect evaporative cooling system;
- Solar cooling system;
- Aerodynamic field reconstruction;
- Heat transfer intensification;
- Plume abatement;
- Water saving and drainage reduction;
- Energy saving and anti-freezing;
- Intelligent diagnosis and operation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
