Power plant cooling towers are equipment used to help power plants cool circulating water. During the power generation process, the generator consumes a large amount of thermal energy and also requires a large amount of water for cooling. The cooling tower sprays high temperature circulating water at the top of the tower, uses air to dissipate the heat of the water, and discharges the heat, so that the temperature of the circulating water is lowered and recirculated.
Specifically, the functions of the power plant cooling tower are as follows:
1. Ensure the normal operation of the generator set: When the generator set is running, it will generate a large amount of thermal energy, which needs to be cooled by cooling water to reduce the temperature to ensure normal operation.normal operation of the generator set and prolong the life of the equipment.
2. Save water resources: By recycling cooling water, cooling towers can avoid directly discharging high temperature cooling water into the environment, reduce environmental pollution and also improve utilization water resources.
3. Reduce energy consumption: Cooling towers can reduce energy consumption by using air to dissipate heat from water, thereby improving the energy efficiency of power plants.
In short, power plant cooling towers play a vital role in the electricity generation process. They can ensure the normal operation of the generator set, save water resources, reduce energy consumption, thereby improving operational efficiency and the environment. from the levelu protection of the power plant.
Thermal power plants that comply with current national environmental protection regulations will have no impact on nearby residents. Coal-fired thermal power plants that do not comply with regulations mainly cause pollution by fumes from coal-fired power plants and pollution by water discharges. Fuel-fired thermal power plants that do not comply with regulations mainly cause pollution from water emissions, and may also have a small amount of pollution from toxic fuel gas emissions. It is basically impossible for a gas (natural gas) thermal power plant to fail to comply with regulations unless intentional human-caused pollution occurs.
