Termik santral: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

 

==Verimlilik==

The energy efficiency of a conventional thermal power station, considered as salable energy as a percent of the [[heating value]] of the fuel consumed, is typically 33% to 48%. This efficiency is limited as all heat engines are governed by the laws of [[thermodynamic]]s. The rest of the energy must leave the plant in the form of heat. This [[waste heat]] can go through a [[Surface condenser|condenser]] and be disposed of with [[cooling water]] or in [[cooling tower]]s. If the waste heat is instead utilized for [[district heating]], it is called [[co-generation]]. An important class of thermal power station are associated with [[desalination]] facilities; these are typically found in desert countries with large supplies of [[natural gas]] and in these plants, freshwater production and electricity are equally important co-products.
