喷水池是人工冷却设备之一。由于它占地面积大,并且必须与主厂房、露天变电站、储煤场等保持较远的距离,运行时水量损失较大,冷却前后水温相差较小,冷却效率不高等缺点,在需要冷却水量较多的大型电厂中已很少应用。但由于它的构造简单,施工技术要求不高,其基建投资较之其它冷却方式要少,运行及维护又较简易,因此在采用二次循环的中、小型火电厂中,还被广泛地使用。 The fountain is one of the artificial cooling devices. Because of its large area, it must be kept away from the main plant, open-air substations, coal storage yards, etc., the loss of water during operation is large, the difference in water temperature before and after cooling is small, the cooling efficiency is not high, and the cooling water volume is needed. There are few applications in many large-scale power plants. However, because of its simple structure and low construction technology requirements, its capital investment is less than other cooling methods, and its operation and maintenance are relatively simple. Therefore, it is widely used in small and medium-sized thermal power plants that use secondary circulation. .
