Because the excess steam is condensed into water and and goes back underwater where it is reheated for later use.

Where is the energy lost with in a power station?
cooling towers
When was Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station created?
Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station was created in 1990.
What is cooled in cooling towers of a power station?
the working fluid for the turbines. usually steam is condensed back to water.
What is the start up time for geothermal power station?
Geothermal power stations are built by digging into the Earth's crust and tapping into the direct heat that is never ending. It generally takes around nine months to start a geothermal power station.
Why you use cooling towers in thermal power station?
This is to cool the steam turbine condenser, where the steam outlet from the turbine's last stage is condensed before returning to the boiler feed pump inlets. The cooling towers circulate water that passes through tubes inside the condenser, separate from the steam/water in the boilers.
What role does temperature play in a geothermal power station?
10,715 megawatts 10-23%
What are the positive and negtive aspects of using geothermal energy?
With the arrival of a power plant, the heat and fluid extracted from geothermal sources can deplete the efficiency and volume of geysers and surface hot springs. water released from geothermal cooling towers may contain dissolved toxic compounds and substances such as boron, arsenic and mercury. The chance of earthquakes is increased when power plants inject water below Earth's surface in order to keep the pressure of the steam up
Location of Russia's first geothermal power station?
we believe its located on the Kamchatka Peninsula in russia.
Do geothermal power stations make pollution?
No. Construction equipment used to build the station will burn fossil fuels and produce some pollution. When the station is complete it will produce pollution free electricity. The station will require some electric power from the grid to operate, and some of that electricity may be produced by coal powered plants which do produce pollution, but the geothermal power station will not produce pollution.
Do all nuclear power plants use cooling towers?
Yes, all but the one in my basement
what can geothermal energy be use for?
Generating electricity.Heating (or cooling) buildings.Geothermal energy can be used to create a electricity to power homes.
How do high altitude transmission towers get their power?
In exactly the same way as any transmission towers -one end of the line is connected to the step-up transformers in the power station.
