Cooling water is not very harmful, because it mainly carries heat away from the operating equipment through its fluidity and heat absorption, and generally only comes into contact with the surface exterior of the equipment. Unlike dust removal water used in power plants, which is used to remove fly ash present in smoke, smoke contains harmful substances such as sulfur, which are harmful to nature. Cooling water is not very harmful
Why do thermal power plants need to cool circulating water? Why not cool it? Can this also save energy?
The condenser type steam turbine generator set is equipped with a condenser. The main function of circulating water is to cool the steam generated by the turbine through the condenser and cool the steam into condensed water for its recyclage. . Circulating water also plays a role in cooling the lubricating oil. In addition, domestic fire extinguishing water, industrial water and desalinated water from the power plant are all treated from the circulating water system.
Since the generator is driven by a turbine and the turbine is powered by steam, once the steam exits the turbine, it must be cooled to liquid water and then liquid water is heated. to generate steam. Drive the turbine and ride through it.
