The resultant steam runs a turbine, and cold water drawn up from deep in the ocean condenses the steam to start the cycle again.
Turbine exhaust steam condensing (to renew the Rankine cycle) conventionally involves wet cooling, where cooling water from the shell - and - tube steam condensers is sprayed into cooling towers, and an updraft carries vapor from evaporative cooling into the atmosphere.
After passing through the turbine, the steam is condensed and returned to the boiler to be heated once again.
Because gas combustion turbines require no cooling (having no steam to condense), the overall combined cycle system requires much less water for cooling than traditional steam turbine technologies.
The heat is e.g. condensing heat from steam turbines or hot flue gases exhausted from gas turbines, for industrial use, buildings or district heating.
