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

    I used to work for a plasterboard manufacturer where 20 tons of water vapour per hour was ejected into the atmosphere from the drying process. Depending upon the atmospheric conditions, you could sometimes see massive clouds emanating from the factory miles into the sky that could easily be seen from twenty miles away. On the other hand, on a very hot dry day the same process produced 10m of “steam” before the vapour disappeared invisibly.
