Cooling System |
 |
 |
|
The cooling system on first floor worked
with the transmitter on second floor as
a whole. During colonial period, there
was no piped water available for
Minsyong Broadcast Center, which had to
pump underground water and stored it in
buckets for later distilling as a
solution. The water distilled would be
pumped up to the transmitter to cool the
tube and other components so that the
machines wouldn’t break down for being
too hot. |
Distilled water is required to cool the
vacuum tube of MB-15-A100KW after it
operated for a while. As the picture on
the wall reveals, the water boiled goes
down to the green reservoir on first
floor through the pink pipes, and the
yellow pipes contains underground water
that comes from the giant reservoir
outside the museum. The water boiled
will be cooled in the green bucket by
underground water first and then pumped
back to second floor to cool the
transmitter. |

Cooling System for
MLB-15-A100kW Medium Wave Transmitter: |
|
|
|
The reservoir is a key part of the cooling
system. Aside from cleaning water, it also holds
a great amount of water for cooling. The old
filter tower, pump room and the reservoir were
all built for cooling transmitters. Underground
water was the main source of water around
Minsyong area then, and the filter tower was to
clean the water so that the machine wouldn’t get
stuck by the sands in the liquid and the staff
could be provided with clean water. The tower
has an ingenious design on the rim of its
opening, which keeps water from spilling out and
receives adequate sunlight to suppress moss from
growing. |
