Conclusions
-
1.
The introduction of the gravity flow — siphon cooling system of the components of units of hydroelectric stations will considerably reduce the consumption of electricity for own needs.
-
2.
The use of the gravity flow — siphon system is possible when the coolers of the components of the unit are 6 m above the level of intake of water.
-
3.
The process of assembling the gravity flow — siphon cooling system of the units can be completely automated.
