Cooling towers on power stations - why?

Stephen Biddle
Hi All


I was working on a power station in Oman last month and it was gas fired with condensing steam turbines - no evaporation.  This week I'm working on a coal fired one in Poland, which has cooling towers and evaporation.  Is it something to do with the gas or just that they have no water in Oman?


Thanks

    Not sure I understand what is meant by " gas fired with condensing steam turbines". Does this mean a gas boiler heating water to make steam which drives a turbine? This would need something to condense the steam and transfer the heat to something else (air, river, sea). Could it not have been gas turbines?
