 Calculation Notes

Usage in river / sea water circ pumps, Boiler feed / Circulation pumps, Turbine distilate Pumps, condensate, vacuum, cooling tower, coal crusher, liquid ring condenser, pump pit and drain pumps. The number of sites is based on the "Carbon Brief site" which states a global output of 2Mil MW and a standard site producing 500 Mw leaves 4048 plants globally
