What is a cooling pond?
Cooling pond is a pond made by a man that is used for cooling purposes. Cooling ponds are most commonly used in power plants that use water for cooling, although there are alternatives such as cooling towers that can be considered in such devices for cooling needs. In areas where cooling ponds are used, the pond can be used for recreation by members of the surrounding community, arrangement with a power plant. The heat is transmitted with water and reduces the temperature so that the water is reused. This is part of the process known as "wet cooling". One of the large disadvantages of wet cooling is water loss by evaporation, which may become a problem if water reserves are limited. In this case, water is not a great selection of cooling material, because the plant must regularly more important water to maintain cooling systems. It may differ in size. The size of the device is an important factor in planning a pond because it must be large enough to be adequately handled by running runningm period of peak production. Depending on the design, it can also be quite deep, because deep water tends to stay colder longer. Deep water cooling, as is known, is also used for air conditioning control systems in some structures.
Some nuclear energy devices use a nuclear cooling pond, although it fell out of Vogue, because more and more devices are receiving cooling towers. The disadvantage of the pond for nuclear devices is that if an accident occurs, the pond will be contaminated with the surrounding area and people may not be able to use it for a longer period of time. Cooling ponds also require more space, which may be a problem in densely populated nations that do not have enough space for power plant ponds.
The power plant is responsible for creating and maintaining a cooling pond and for ensuring that it is not contaminated. Recreational use of cooling ponds canE include swimming and cruise cruises and in some areas ponds are used as fish hatchery to support fish populations by providing a safe place for food. Once they hatch, the young may be allowed to develop before moving to other places or harvested for food.
