Cooling Tower
A cooling tower is a device that rejects waste heat to the atmosphere through the cooling of a coolant stream, usually a water stream, to a lower temperature. Cooling towers may either use the evaporation of water to remove heat and cool the working fluid to near the Wet-bulb temperature, wet-bulb air temperature or, in the case of ''dry cooling towers'', rely solely on air to cool the working fluid to near the Dry-bulb temperature, dry-bulb air temperature using Radiator, radiators. Common applications include cooling the circulating water used in oil refineries, petrochemical and other chemical plants, thermal power stations, nuclear power stations and HVAC systems for cooling buildings. The classification is based on the type of air induction into the tower: the main types of cooling towers are Natural convection, natural draft and Forced convection, induced draft cooling towers. Cooling towers vary in size from small roof-top units to very large hyperboloid structures t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neurath Power Station
Neurath Power Station is a lignite-fired power station near Neurath in Grevenbroich, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located to the south of Grevenbroich, and it borders the municipalities of Rommerskirchen and Bedburg. The power station consists of seven units, of which two are currently operating, and it is owned by RWE. It was named the second biggest single emitter of carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union in 2019 by the EU's Transport and Environment Group, as well as the 102nd biggest polluting asset globally by Climate TRACE. Description The Neurath Power Station serves mainly as a base load power station. It consists of seven units (3 x 300 MW, 2 x 600 MW, and 2 x 1,100 MW nominally). The five older units were built between 1972 and 1976, and together had a gross electrical generation capacity of 2,200 MW. These units were decommissioned on 31 March 2024. On 15 August 2012 two new 1,060 MW lignite-fired units – F and G, also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chooz Nuclear Power Plant
The Chooz Nuclear Power Station () lies in the municipality of Chooz in the Ardennes department, France, on the Meuse River in a panhandle protruding into Belgium, between the French city of Charleville-Mézières and the Belgian municipality of Dinant, near the comune of Givet. Three nuclear reactors have been built on the site, Chooz A, Chooz B1 and Chooz B2. Chooz A was permanently shutdown in 1991 and has been undergoing the decommissioning process since 2007. As of 2022, the plant employed around 1200 operators. The Chooz reactors were a source of neutrinos for the Chooz neutrino oscillation experiment; a new experiment, Double Chooz, was also operating nearby. Chooz A Chooz A was an early pressurized water reactor (PWR) design by Westinghouse, built and operated by French (EDF) and Belgian (SENA) grid operators. It was shut down in 1991 after an operational life of 22 years. The containment building of this unit was underground. Decommissioning was authorised in 200 ...

Lippendorf
Lippendorf is located in the municipality of Neukieritzsch, near Leipzig in Saxony, Germany. The present town of Lippendorf used to be known as the village of Medewitzsch. In 1934, the towns of Medewitzsch, Lippendorf and Spahnsdorf combined to form the new town of Lippendorf. North of town are Böhlen and Zwenkau, to the east is Rotha, to the south is Neukieritzsch and to the west is Russen-Kleinstorkwitz The first record of the village of Lippendorf was in 1378. The character of the place was rural for a long time. Only from the 1920s did the then village develop into an industrial centre, mainly due to the lignite, also called brown coal, formed from naturally compressed peat, found in the area. The first lignite mine in the area was opened in 1924. Böhlen mining started near the north west of the town. The first power station was built in 1925. During World War II bomb attacks on the power station in 1944 and 1945 destroyed parts of the village. In the mid-1960s a second po ...

Lippendorf Power Station is a lignite-fired power station in Lippendorf, which is located in the municipality of Neukieritzsch, near Leipzig in Saxony, Germany. The power plant is owned and operated by Vattenfall Europe. It has a heating capacity of . Old power station The Lippendorf old power station was built between 1964 and 1968. It generated 600 megawatt The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of Power (physics), power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3. It is used to quantification (science), quantify the rate of Work ...s (MW) having four 100 MW and four 50 MW units. The old power station was decommissioned in 2000 when the new power station became operational. The power station had a tall flue gas stack, which was built in 1967 and dismantled in 2005. This flue gas stack briefly was the tallest in the world. Modernization Lippendorf Power Station was replaced between 199 ...

Datteln Power Station
Datteln Power Station (German: ''Kraftwerk Datteln'') is a modern coal-fired thermal power station in Datteln, Recklinghausen, 12 km north of Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It comprises four units with a total capacity of approximately 1,419 MW gross. Units 1-3 were built between 1964 and 1969 and were decommissioned in 2014. A notable characteristic of this power station is the fact that the most recently built unit, Unit 4, does not have a waste gas flue. Instead, the desulphurised flue gases are expelled using the updraught from the existing cooling tower. The power station is operated by Uniper. The plant employs about 200 full-time workers and 300 external jobs. History About 6,300 people participated in the construction of Unit 4. Technology In addition to electrical power, Unit 4 also delivers 1,000 GWhth yearly of district heating energy, a supply sufficient for 100,000 households in the Castrop-Rauxel and Dortmund-Bodelschwingh areas.

Golfech
Golfech (; ) is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in southern France. It neighbours the larger town of Valence d'Agen and stands on the D813 road between Bordeaux and Toulouse and beside the canal de Garonne and railway that also link the cities. The D813 is classified as a departmental road in the French system. Formerly, this road was designated as the N113, where the N indicated that it was a national road. The Voie Verte cycle path serves the commune from Moissac to the east and the western border of Lot-et-Garonne towards Bordeaux. It will eventually run all the way from Bordeaux to Sète. The residents of Golfech are known as ''Golféchois''. The Golfech Nuclear Power Plant is located in the western part of the commune. The river Barguelonne forms most of the commune's northern and north-western borders, then flows into the Garonne, which forms all of its south-western border.

The plant also has two 178.5-metre-tall cooling towersHydraulic works study of Golfech cooling towers, 1989, Goldwirt, F.; Ghuzel, M.; Lemoine, P.; https://inis.iaea.org/search/searchsinglerecord.aspx?recordsFor=SingleRecord&RN=21068176 that get water from the Garonne River, only using water to compensate for evaporation; the cooling loop is closed and water is never released back into the river. In 2002 the plant produced nearly half of the electricity used in the area. It employs nearly 700 full-time workers. History In 1965, the Midi-Pyrénées announced its intention to cons ...
