What is the function of cooling tower in power plant?

The function of cooling tower in power plant is to save water and recycle water.

Cooling tower is a structure used for cooling water, which is generally common in power plants, chemical plants, cement plants and other factories that need a lot of water temperature control. The height is calculated according to the heat exchange capacity, which is the structure of saving and circulating water.

The working principle of the cooling tower is to use the convection between the blowing wind and the water overflowing from it to discharge the heat source, and part of the water evaporates in the convection, taking away the corresponding latent heat of evaporation, thus reducing the temperature of the water.

Extended data:

The advantages of cooling tower are:

1, low floating interest rate:

Spray devices are evenly distributed in the tower, and the air outlet area is about twice that of the traditional mechanical tower, so the air outlet speed is low. At the same time, the top of the tower is equipped with an excellent water collection device, which minimizes the floating water. Save a lot of water, saving more than 80% water than packing cooling tower.

2. Good cooling effect:

In the case of fog, the hot water in the tower exchanges heat with the incoming air. Due to the small wind resistance in the tower, reasonable design of air duct and blades, improved gas-water ratio, reasonable wind field in the tower, low steam partial pressure and less wall flow, the cooling effect of the tower is good.

3, stable temperature drop:

Because the tower is cooled by spraying principle, there is no problem of packing blockage and fan damage. The advanced water suspension bearing technology ensures the flexible and reliable rotation of the automatic rotary atomizing device driven by water jet and the long-term stable operation of the tower.
