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'm certain of nothing, but a 'science' that has to amend the historic record and whose models neither agree with each other or reality looks more like an ideology or a religion to me.


    The discovery and exploitation of a new 'Joan of Arc' in Sweden is further evidence of an ideology being pushed rather than a science being pursued.


    I thought in this wonderful new Orwellian-world of intolerant tolerance and diverse inclusivity we all get to 'self-determine'? It is therefore for your nephew to define himself as a 'denier' if he chooses; for you to label him as such is surely 'unjustified certainty' on your part!




    I agree with William Dick Dickson this is an Engineering discussion, I wasn't expecting religion or Joan of Arc
