Working of Cooling Tower - Nuclear Power Plant

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.

This is great! Now I can build my own power station.

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.

Never heard of the cross flow tower this video is amazing

Great video! I always wondered how these cooling towers worked.

The map reminded me of mylta power in pubg 😂

I’d never thought I would learn about Power plant cooling towers. Thank you for the lesson!

These hyperboloid towers are used for more than just nuclear power plants. Any place where a lot of heat needs to be removed efficiently.

Best explanation so far. Good job, thanks!

[blackangel]

Tank you for explanation. It was really helpful

[peterslegers]

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.

From where the hot water comes from .. ant whats the type of it .. is it an antifreeze ?
Thanks a lot ❤️

[m.ghiffari]

I'm curious, with a construction like that isn't it very possible for a dirt to fall in to the cooling tower and contaminate the water in the basin?

[bharat]

First time watching about cooling tower, alright I understood Sir. Thankyou 🙏

[tankwanyan]

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.

[tushardhamne]

Nice explanation...👍but what if the ambient temperature is more than working temperature then how it transfers heat??

[Pazaluz]

I'm going on a major nuclear power plant binge because I watched Chernobyl. Even though I'll never have use for this information, it's still very interesting to see how it all works!

[unfortunateness]

Cool! Can you do Pochinki or military base next?

[jaybro]

So where does the hot water come from?

[animeexists]

Can someone say me why will they heart first off all

[beauhatman]

Disappointed that the "presenter" failed to mention the reason why the "nuclear power plant" cooling tower has it's unique shape. This shape is very important to the proper functioning of the cooling tower and it would not work effectively without it.
