| Description |
English: This is the cooling tower of the power plant. The cooling tower is familiar to everyone with its dumpy and bulky shape. Technically, the main function of a cooling tower is to waste thermal energy. Unfortunately, up to 40% of the steam energy can be used in the production of electricity. It is only practical to direct the rest into heating networks and use it for heating, but consumers do not always need this amount of thermal energy. Until about ten years ago, when the plant's large energy blocks units produced electricity, the cooling tower was steaming all year round. Today, only a small amount of thermal energy is directed to the cooling tower mainly in warm weather. At the bottom of the cooling tower is a 60-meter-diameter plate heat exchanger with hot water from the plant circulating in a closed system inside it. The radiator is watered from above to speed up the release of heat. The generated warm steam rises up from inside the wide chimney and efficiently conducts thermal energy into the atmosphere. |
