China plans first 1 mln kw air-cooling systems

15/08/2008 -- 9:43 PM

Beijing (VNA) - China will be the first country to install million-kilowatt (kw) air-cooling systems in ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plants, Xinhua news agency reported. The cooling facilities, which were entirely domestically designed and built, will be part of the Huadian Lingwu power plant project, located in the northwestern coal-rich and arid Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The project will have two ultra super-critical generating units of 1 million kw each, which will start up around 2011, Xinhua reported, citing an official with the China Huadian Corp. China Huadian is a state-owned power generation company. Using this cooling technique will save an estimated 70 percent of the water that would have been used in conventional water-cooled power units. In this case, it means 24 million tones of water annually, enough for the consumption of nearly 800,000 people for a year, according to Xinhua.-Enditem
