Cooling Tower IM

[GazMAther1973]

One leg of the mammoth ProHobo tour with Oldskool and Host, laughs all the way from start to finish.
The climb in is sketchy to say the least, especially with not having a head for heights but the climb out was even worse
There are only so many shots you can get here but it's worth the effort just to be stood inside

Steam comes in and condenses to form hot water which is the pumped to the top of the tower and sprayed out. It falls down the middle and along the walls and into the hole. While the water moves downwards it heats up the air in the tower, which then rises, drawing in more cool air at the bottom to replace it. At the bottom the water is cool enough to go back to the power plant. Sometimes the water becomes super saturated and so it looks like fog/smoke rising out of the top.

This is the second cooling tower I have been inside and you never get over the enormity of these buildings until it is witnessed in the flesh.

Cracking shots - The first one is epically epic on an epic level of epicness

Stunning!

Sweet shots. That second one is a corker. Interested by the couldron, does this just send water back into the plant?

Nice one there's one at Thorpe marsh you could climb up is like climbing on egg boxes.

Bloody lovely

Superb but are there any more pics of the actual power plat?

Not any more mate, it's been stripped ready for demo.

Will do a report on the plant itself when I have gone through all the pics mate

Fantastic shots of an epic build! Always loved cooling towers. Always been curious how they build them so high and get that concrete to stay in place?
