Evaporative cooling technology to be used in hydropower development
A feasibility study on using evaporative cooling technology in mega-kilowatt hydropower generators, which was conducted by the CAS Institute of Electrical Engineering, received commendations at a recent meeting on the designing of such generators under the auspices of China Three-Gorges Project Corporation.
Independently developed by CAS researchers, the evaporative cooling technology will largely enhance production safety and prolong the life of water turbogenerators, according to experts. It is going to play a key role in the Three Gorges project in southwest China.
