Cooling Tower (Large): Difference between revisions

Cooling Tower (Large)

Improves Water efficiency of a power plant by recovering some Steam back to Water.

Construction	80 + 200
Workers	4
Electricity	None
Maintenance	None
Footprint	9x9
Required Research	Power Generation IV
Boost by Unity	Available
Designation	Water Extraction & Processing
Variants	Cooling Tower

The Cooling Tower (Large) is a much higher throughput and physically much larger variant of the Cooling Tower which allows for the conversion of Steam (Super), Steam (High), Steam (Low), and Steam Depleted byproducts into Water. As the ratio of Water to all types of steam is 1:1, the Cooling Tower (Large) thus recovers 75% of the Water contained from Steam (Low), and Steam Depleted. Compared to the regular Cooling Tower, this marks a 50% increase in the Water recovery rate.

It can process the resulting steam output from up to 16 Arc Furnace II machines or 4 Exhaust Scrubbers. Conversely, it takes exactly 3 of these to handle the steam output of a single Nuclear Reactor with 3x output.

Recipes

Below are all the recipes, which this building is capable of producing. Note, that some of them may be locked behind Research, and not immediately available in your game.

This article invokes definition of game's source data (either directly, or with one or several template invokes).
Editing it will result in updates to some of the stored tables, which in turn updates automated data lists. See more.
If you've found incorrect data, related to this article's topic, it is a good place to start searching for definitions, requiring updates.
