Abstract:At present, high level water receiving cooling towers are mostly used in 1000MW or above units, and there is no successful precedent for 600MW units.In the second-phase project of an certain power plant，high level water receiving cooling towers are used in the 660MW unit. At the same time, through investigation, optimization design and installation, the purpose of saving energy and noise reduction and reducing the cost of investment was achieved.The high water intake tower has the following advantages: first, it has no rain area resistance, all-directional air intake, good cooling effect; Second, it is not affected by geological conditions, and no longer considers seepage maintenance of the sump, saving maintenance costs; Third, it reduces the noise of cooling tower falling water and improves the living environment of the surrounding residents and the working environment of the employees. Fourth, it saves water pump head, saves electricity.The project has made a comprehensive comparison through careful investigation and investment in other domestic projects and the corresponding production strength of cooling tower core material manufacturers. It is bold to decide that all of the core materials are made domestically, which greatly saves investment. The operation mode of water receiving cooling tower is simple, the noise of cooling tower is reduced, and the energy saving effect is obvious.
