Cooling towers, thermogram
Cooling towers. Thermogram of water vapour rising out of cooling towers at a power station. Thermography records surface temperatures by detecting the long-wavelength radiation emitted by an object. Here, the colour-coded temperature scale runs from white (warmest) through pink, red, orange, yellow, green and blue to black (coldest)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the mesmerizing sight of cooling towers at a power station. The image showcases a thermogram of water vapor rising out of these towering structures, providing a unique perspective on the thermal dynamics involved in energy production. Utilizing thermography, this photograph records surface temperatures by detecting the long-wavelength radiation emitted by objects. The color-coded temperature scale adds an artistic touch to the image, with white representing the warmest areas and black indicating the coldest regions. As we move through shades of pink, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, we witness the gradual transition from scorching heat to chilling coldness. The billowing plumes of water vapor create an ethereal atmosphere against the backdrop of industrial architecture. This visual spectacle highlights both technological advancements and environmental concerns associated with electricity generation. It symbolizes how heat is harnessed and transferred within these colossal structures while also showcasing waste in its evaporation process. The use of infrared cameras enables us to capture this false-colored thermogram that reveals hidden details about water vapor condensing into steam. It offers valuable insights into physical processes occurring within cooling towers while emphasizing their crucial role in energy production. Overall, this thought-provoking print not only showcases scientific marvels but also serves as a reminder of our ongoing quest for sustainable solutions in an ever-evolving world driven by technology and industry.
