  • For any efficient power plant to function at its optimum level, cooling towers form an essential unit. They are used to transfer heat and cool the water. These towers are huge and can be up to 200 meters.
    We will learn about the working of cooling towers in a nuclear power plant. We will also learn about the two types of cooling towers i.e. Cross-flow Tower and Counter-flow Tower.

    Virgin crossflow tower:
    - Looks generic;
    - Requires a fan because it has zero knowledge on physics;
    - Takes a lot more effective horizontal space;
    - Needs to split the water in half because it's a bad parent;
    - Is afraid of wasting water during operation so it is mostly enclosed;
    - Knows it's a failure as the water has the risk of freezing;
    - Needs to sniff over sand and consume mud to keep the mood and get attention.
    Chad counterflow tower:
    - Despite its size, takes less horizontal space;
    - Very high amount of self-esteem make it want to stand out, as it's the most prominent structure of a nuclear plant;
    - Very knowledgeable as it doesn't need to waste electricity just to evacuate the vapor, the power of physics is enough;
    - Genius design prevents water from freezing;
    - Can be a hot shower to be used by the mortals;
    - Open base means it isn't obsessed with keeping privacy;
    - Can be paint to be even sexier.

    Frederik van Iterson designed and patented the first counter flow type cooling tower.
    The first one was build 100 years before you posted this video, in 1918, at the Dutch State's Mine (DSM) Emma in the south of the Netherlands.

    • @Greenicegod
      @Greenicegod 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The reactor heats up water into high pressure steam, which goes to the steam turbines to produce electricity. Once the steam condenses, it goes to the cooling tower as hot water. It needs to be cooled so that it can be safely dumped back in environment, or reused in the reactor again.

      @@sylviaisgod6947 wow, you're right! I simplified it for general audiences. Thanks for making the effort to clearify my explanation, though. I really like how you pointed out that all reactors have a closed loop of coolant that leads from the core to a heat exchanger that heats the water, and that the coolant in the reactor is not necissarily water, but could be NaK, NaCl, or something else entirely.

    Does all cooling towers connect to the condenser? or the steam directly flows into the cooling tower for cooling? because I read from resources around they never state it very clearly. So i am not sure if the cooling tower is for cooling the low pressure steam after coming out of the turbine, or to cool down the water from the condenser.

    • @sylviaisgod6947
      @sylviaisgod6947 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cooling towers cool the water flowing on the inside of the condenser tubes; the steam from the turbines condenses on the outside of the tubes and is fed back to the reactor/boiler or whatever the heat source, it's 2 separate loops.

    This has nothing to do with specifically nuclear power plants. All thermal power plants require cooling and they all use either cooling by sea, rivers, lakes or cooling towers. Good diagrams and explanations, though.

    • @bouteilledeau1463
      @bouteilledeau1463 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If we're being honest, nuclear power plants have many similarities with conventional thermal power plants. The cooling methods are pretty much the same too. Else, what would be specifically related to nuclear cooling systems that's not in other thermal plants?

    • @andreisurgov4059
      @andreisurgov4059 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Part of the reason is cause that water is also used to cool the reactor so if you keep inputting heat in you are looking at a melt down

    • @amoeba5547
      @amoeba5547 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thats where waste heat recovery comes into picture,using a shell and tube boiler to use this water to heat in another process maybe,this is not like a coal operated plant using exhaust heat to increase efficiency of the process. The objective is to draw energy away from the core,keeping it cool and preventing a meltdown
