At Krasnoyarsk CHPP-3, as part of the construction of the second power unit, the construction of a water tower – a cooling tower designed to cool process water, which is used in the cycle of heat and electricity production at the station, continues. The 88-meter-high structure will be the first cooling tower of a thermal power plant in Krasnoyarsk. The construction of the second power unit is part of the project to increase the capacity of the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-3, included in the Yeniseiskaya Sibir KIP.
The work on the cooling tower cladding lasted for almost six months. To close the steel frame of the structure, it took 17 thousand m2 of cladding material. The work was carried out by 40 specialists of the contracting organization.
Valentin Krivosheev, Deputy Director for the Implementation of DPM2 Projects at Krasnoyarsk CHPP-3: "When designing the second power unit, taking into account changes in Water legislation, a reverse cooling system was used through the construction of a tower cooling tower. Process water will constantly circulate inside it, which is used to cool the turbine of the power unit and other mechanisms. Due to the closed cycle, the intake of water for production needs from the Yenisei will be reduced. In this way, we minimize the impact of the heat production process on the ecosystem."
The commissioning of the cooling tower will take place simultaneously with the launch of the second power unit of the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-3, which is planned at the end of 2024. The total cost of the project is 27 billion rubles. The second power unit will provide new opportunities for the development of Krasnoyarsk: additional heat for growing neighborhoods and electricity for the general energy system of the region. In addition, it will reduce the electrical load on the Krasnoyarsk CHP-1.
