Abstract

See full text

A cooling tower with a hydroelectric power generation unit includes a tower body, a water spraying device, and a water guiding plate, in addition to the hydroelectric power generation unit. The tower body has a water collection tank divided into a water-collecting tank area and a power-generating tank area. The water sprayed out by the water spraying device is guided by the water guiding plate into the water-collecting tank area. When the water-collecting tank area is full, the water in the water-collecting tank area flows into the power-generating tank area through the partition portion, or more particularly through the hydroelectric power generation unit, such that the hydroelectric power generation unit generates electricity from a difference in water level. By directly converting the potential energy of cooled cooling water into electric energy that can be stored or used, the cooling tower saves energy and contributes to environmental protection.
