Abstract
A hybrid closed circuit heat exchanger having a dry indirect section and an evaporative indirect section. The evaporative indirect section has multiple sub-sections. An evaporative fluid distribution system is configured to selectively distribute evaporative fluid over all, part, or none of the sub-sections. A process fluid flow path control system is configured to selectively direct the process fluid through one or more sub-sections. The process fluid flow path control system may send all of the process fluid through two or more sub-sections in equal amounts or in different amounts. There is preferably no evaporative heat exchange section bypass flow path.
