Abstract

The operating conditions and power performance characteristics of the Armenian nuclear power station’s Unit 2 equipped with a K-220-4.3 turbine and of the Razdan district power station’s units equipped with K-200-12.8 and K-300-23.5 turbines are studied. The effect from increasing the cooling capacity of chimney-type cooling towers obtained by installing built-in rotary vertical panels instead of the existing louver-type devices is evaluated.
