Today, I went for a walk around the old site of the power station. I went in where the cooling towers had been, and I have a few reasons why the towers dropped. The towers: without the correct maintenance they would have become unsafe, as I discovered myself, when the concrete just fell to bits as I walked over it. Also, there is an underground network of pipes there and, I'm sure, access tunnels; I had found evidence of this when I was a young kid. I don't think many people recognize this place; where the old buildings stand opposite the old towers, there's a concrete slab! Under the slab is a hole, leading into a large room, which is full of water. There are corridors leading away from this room. I'm trying to find old pictures and plans of the old site -- perhaps you can help! Aerial photos are what I'm really after. I'm concerned about vandalism at this site, and that people may feel the need to climb it as well. ---- Addendum: The link below indicates they have motion picture footage of the plant being built. FYI

What is cooled in cooling towers of a power station?
the working fluid for the turbines. usually steam is condensed back to water.
What do cooling towers do?
Cooling towers are devices for dissipating waste heat to the atmosphere. Please see the link.
How can cooling towers improve the efficiency of power stations?
Cooling towers improve the efficiency of power stations by transferring excess heat away from the system, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures. This allows the power station to operate more efficiently by preventing overheating and reducing energy losses. Additionally, cooling towers help conserve water by facilitating the reuse of cooled water in the system.
What are the enormous fans in a power station called?
The enormous fans in a power station are called cooling towers. These towers help dissipate excess heat generated during the power generation process to keep the system operating efficiently and prevent overheating.
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.

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.
