If the waste heat at a power plant is exhausted to a pond of water. Could the efficiency of the plant be increased by refrigerating the water in the pond?
Appling systems like this to turbine inlet air cooling at power plants would increase the efficiency of the power plant by about a 27% increase in efficiency. With no additional power needed to drive the typical chillers.
