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

    There is a power station in Slough which primarily feeds the industrial estate, the super heated steam from the turbines is fed out through, I believe, a sealed piped system supplying the neighbourhood housing estates with subsidized central heating . Similar to a non-vented pressurized CH boiler.
