Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a cooling tower for a hybrid cooling system. The cooling tower may include a tower shell, a wet cooled segment arranged inside the tower shell, and a dry cooled segment arranged outside the tower shell. The wet cooled segment may include wet cooling cells arranged at a distance from the tower shell with fans arranged thereon for inducing upwards humid air exhaust flow. The dry cooled segment is disposed generally above the air intakes for the wet cells and includes air coolers arranged as vertical cooling deltas around the tower shell. The cooling deltas are equipped with louvers for controlling a cooling air inlet. The cooling tower further includes dry fans arranged in at least some of the inlet openings of the tower shell for inducing mechanical draft for the dry cooled segment.
