Thermoelectric facilities comprise about 75% of the world’s power plants. Water cooling protects equipment and increases overall power production efficiency.
Recommended Buyer's Guides
Turbine cooling systems are critical in ensuring that power plants operate both economically and consistently. The systems cool the hottest and most stressed parts, as well as maintain the calculated thermal stress level of components.
Types of turbine cooling systems include:
- Dry cooling
- Once-through systems
- Wet cooling towers or open recirculating
- Hybrid cooling or closed-circuit cooling

Wind turbine parts and cooling systems
The individual parts and electronic components of a wind turbine heat up during operation and need to be protected from overheating. Selecting the right turbine cooling system helps to improve turbine life, lower maintenance and operation costs, and maximise power output.
Fans are the most commonly used wind turbine cooling system at wind power plants, while liquid cooling systems are also used to cool components such as AC generators and electronics.
Different types of fans are used for cooling, such as axial fans, radial fans and centrifugal fans, depending on the turbine parts to be cooled.
