Decided to take a jump over to Belgium with The-Raw, Extreme Ironing and Three non-members..told them to get the arse in gear and join up on this site..damn sad arses ha ha
Cracking weekend was had by all, and if anyone wants a great van to hire go for Matt Snowball van hire, we got a band van with loads of room..freaking epic.
well the explore went of with a hitch in this place, it's huge and makes you feel rather tiny to be standing in the centre of it..
The cooling tower is a hyperboloid style tower, they have become the design standard for all natural-draft cooling towers because of their structural strength and minimum usage of material, the hyperbolic shape of the tower enhances aerodynamic lift due to the wind passing over it which increases the air flow rate. The air flows into the openings in the bottom which rises up and cools the entering hot water. The cooled water cascades down to the bottom of the tower whilst the warm moist air exits out of the top.
In its hey day this tower would have been able to cool up to 480,000 gallons of water a minute.
