Natural Draught Cooling Towers: Proceedings of the 2. International Symposium, Ruhr-Universit�t Bochum, Germany, September 5-7, 1984

Natural draught cooling towers are inevitable for the economic generation of electricity under environmental aspects: In any thermal power plant heated stearn drives a turbogenerator, which produces the electric energy. In order to create an effective heat sink behind the turbine, the stearn is condensed and recyc­ led into the boiler. This requires a large amount of cooling water which is heated by running through the condensor. Even in the most efficient fossil fuel thermal (nuclear) powe...
