Abstract
Thermal baths in Slovakia produce waste pool water, which is most often discharged to the water recipient. Cooling of waste pool water is ensured by means of cooling ponds or canals. However, cooling the water from the pool is not sufficient. Therefore, thermal bath operators face sanctions for environmental pollution. The possibility of ensuring the maximum temperature of waste pool water is by means of a heat recovery system, which will be presented in the article. If it is not possible to apply a heat recovery system, it is necessary to ensure sufficient cooling of the water in another way. Another possibility of increasing the cooling of wastewater is to ensure a sufficient evaporate area which has a great effect on water cooling. Another crucial parameter that affects the cooling of wastewater is the speed of air flow above the water surface. The article is focused on influence of air flow rate and evaporation surface on cooling of waste pool water produced by thermal baths and briefly introduces another wastewater cooling option, which is a heat recovery system. The results presented in the article indicate a significant impact of the evaporation area on the heat flow through the evaporation.
