Conclusions
-
1.
For conditions similar to those prevailing at the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric plant, the spacing 1.5×3 m of the cooling pipes is the most economical one.
-
2.
The spacing 3×1.5 m may ensure maintenance of the temperature regime during the hardening of the mix in the main concrete mass.
-
3.
The cost of the cooling water decreases as the spacing of the pipes is increased.
