What pollution do cooling towers produce?
None - the emissions from a cooling tower is nothing more than steam.
Does steam from nuclear cooling towers have radioactive elements?
The steam that comes out of nuclear cooling towers is not radioactive. It is produced from the water that is used to cool the reactor, and any radioactive materials would remain inside the reactor containment building and not be released into the environment.
Are the big towers in a nuclear power plant smoke stacks?
No, the big towers in a nuclear power plant are not smoke stacks. These towers are cooling towers used to dissipate excess heat generated during the nuclear power generation process, not to release smoke or emissions.
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.
Types of cooling tower?
There are dfferent types of cooling towers available in Industry. Some of the commonly is used cooling towers are Round Cooling Towers Square Cooling Towers Dry Cooling Tower Wooden Cooling Tower Cross Flow Cooling Tower Modular Cooling Towers Evaporative Cooling Towers Natural Cooling Towers Counter Flow Cooling Towers Get a highly durable cooling tower according to your industry.
What is cooled in cooling towers of a power station?
the working fluid for the turbines. usually steam is condensed back to water.
A solar-heated steam-electric generating plant heats steam to 250 C After passing through the turbine cooling towers cool the steam to 30 C?
The steam at 250Degc does it work and gets converted to mechanical energy by the turbine and to increase the efiiciency of the turbine the pressure is mentained below atmosphearic pressure at the exhust. It is not cost benificaial to handle (pump) this steam coming out of the exhust thus needs to be cooled to take it to liquide stage by cooling towers.
Why does a geothermal power station not need cooling towers?
Because the excess steam is condensed into water and and goes back underwater where it is reheated for later use.
What do cooling towers do?
Cooling towers are devices for dissipating waste heat to the atmosphere. Please see the link.
What is all the smoke that is coming out of the a nuclear power plant?
The smoke seen coming from a nuclear power plant is actually steam generated from the cooling towers. This steam is a byproduct of the plant's cooling system and does not contain harmful radiation. Nuclear power plants are designed to release this steam as part of their normal operation to cool the system.
What has the author W S Norman written?
W. S. Norman has written: 'Absorption, distillation and cooling towers' -- subject- s -: Distillation apparatus, Packed towers, Cooling towers
What is the difference between cooling towers and pollutants chimneys?
cooling towers usally just release steam, due to the fact that product (air, water, oil, etc...) travels through some kind of piping or duct work with water or air passing around or across it inturn cooling the product where as polluntant chimneys, are exits for exhaust emmissions from things like dust collectors or large kilns or furnances where particles from the product being made is heated or cooked,and all of the particles cannot be contained.
