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.
Kalisindh Thermal Power Station, Unit 1 cooling tower [2] Coal power station India: Jhalawar 663 ft (202 m) 2012 [3] Kalisindh Thermal Power Station, Unit 2 cooling tower
Kirkstall Power Station was closed in 1976 and was subsequently demolished, the cooling towers were demolished in 1979. [9] None of the structure remains. The majority of the power station site is covered by a secure caravan storage depot, golf course and artificial football pitches with the rest of the site now forming part of the Kirkstall ...
Cooling Tower six stood 114 metres (374 ft) high and was the first to be demolished, using explosives on 28 July 2019. [54] [55] [56] A further four cooling towers were demolished on 13 October 2019, leaving three standing. [6] The main boiler house, bunker bay and two 198-metre (650 ft) high chimney stacks were demolished on 22 August 2021. [7]
In about 1950 a hyperbolic reinforced concrete cooling tower was built with a capacity of 2.5 million gallons per hour (3.15 m 3 /s), with cooling range of 15 °F (8.3 °C). [12] However, there were complaints that operation of the cooling tower let to problems with ice in cold weather as water vapour from the tower froze as fine particles. [13]
Bierrum has designed and built cooling towers (køletårn in Danish) and chimneys nationally and internationally. [16] The firm demolishes chimneys incrementally using its Bierrum Rig. Bierrum also built cement works, such as Ketton Cement Works in 1961, [17] water towers, such as at North Walsham in 1954, [18] and oil refinery chimneys.
With a height of 165 m and a base diameter of 165 m each, the cooling towers are the largest in the world. Each shell required 16 800 m³ of concrete and 1 170 tons of reinforced steel to construct. Kendal is currently the 22nd largest coal-fired power station in the world and largest power station of any kind in Africa.
Hence they are more commonly used in purpose-driven structures, such as water towers (to support a large mass), cooling towers, and aesthetic features. [3] A hyperbolic structure is beneficial for cooling towers. At the bottom, the widening of the tower provides a large area for installation of fill to promote thin film evaporative cooling of ...
