Disclosed is a cooling tower. The cooling tower comprises a housing, a ventilation fan, a water injection part, a filler, a water collection tank, and a generating unit. The housing includes an air introduction part formed on a lateral surface or a lower part thereof and an air discharge part formed on the upper end thereof and restricts a space formed inside, wherein water exchanges the heat with air. The ventilation fan is provided to allow the flow of the air by allowing the air to be introduced through the air introduction part and the air to be discharged through the air discharge part. The water injection part injects the water to the bottom at high temperatures, which is introduced from the outside of the inner top of the housing. The filler is installed on an area where heat exchange is performed between the air introduced to the inside of the housing and the water injected by the water injection part. The water collection tank is arranged on the lower part of the housing to collect water passing through the filler. The generating unit generates electricity using the potential energy of the water passing through the filler to drop into the water collection tank. The generating unit comprises: a waterwheel rotation part installed in a space between the filler and the water collection tank to obtain a rotation force by using the potential energy of the water; and a generating part which generates electricity using the rotation force from the waterwheel rotation part. |
