Bulk requirement of water is used in thermal plantsfor the purpose of cooling the steam in condensers.
The requirement of water for this purpose is of theorder of 1.5-to2.0 cusecs/MW of installation.
Where sufficient water is available once throughsystem is used.
Where water supply is not consistent, closed loopcooling system with cooling tower is used.

through canal/reservoir. The intake level is normally 10-15 ft. above from flood
level of the water source and 12 m in depth.
Intake
Trash Rack
Trash rack to avoid entering wood, tree branches, animal,plastic, floating object.
provides uniform flow/suction to the CW pump
Traveling Water Screen
It catches small pieces of coal, sand, gravel, wood,plastic, herbs, leaves which can go into the impeller andmay choke/damage the pump.

Chemical dosing done for disabling micro organismdevelopment inside the tube.
Condenser is fitted with 4 way valve to enablereverse flow through condenser when required.
Hot water coming out from condenser is allowed topass through long outlet channel to get cool down
before meeting the main stream of water. Performance of condenser mainly depends on Inlettemp. to the condenser, Condenser tube fouling, Airingress in condenser etc.

Cooling Tower - Introduction
A cooling tower is an air and water management
device, which consists of fan stacks, fans, drift
eliminators, fill and water/air distribution systems. It uses principle of evaporation of water in
unsaturated air.

Cooling Tower - Introduction
Cooling tower is the most important equipment for
closed cycle water recirculation system.
The efficiency of cooling tower has direct effect on
condenser vacuum and in turn, the heat rate of thestation.
1oC rise in cold water temperature in a 200MW unit
corresponds to 5mm vacuum loss leading to 7.5Kcal/kwh loss in heat rate and in 500MW, 5.74
Kcal/kwh loss in heat rate..

Dry type
Wet type cooling towers are two type
1.natural draft 2.mechanical draft
Mechanical draft may be devided in to two type
1.forced draft
2.induced draft Both of these can be counter flow type or cross flow
type.

It produces air flow through utilization of stack orchimney effect.pressure diff. causing air flow isgiven by p (pr head developed)=(p outer-p
inner).H.g The fill is located in the lower portion of shell with
upper 85 to 90% of shell empty which is used tocreate chimney effect.
They are more suitable in the area of high relativehumidity and low temp.
They may be of cross flow or counter flow.

Forced draft
Advantage:-fan is subjected to less severecondition
Disadvantage:-recirculation more Induced draft
Advantage:-min recirculation
Disadvantage:-fan is subjected to warm humidcondition.

Counter flow :-fill is arranged over entire towerplan.fill is typically film type.
Advantage:-more thermal efficiency, smallesttower,lower capital cost, lower pumping head
Disad:-increased pressure drop requires morehorse power of fan.
Cross flow:-fill is arranged at the outer perimeter.
Advantage:-large air inlet area hence pressure dropis less.
Disad:-high pumping head due to more height of fill.

The impact the design wet-bulb temperature has on the
size and power requirements of a cooling tower is criticalto optimizing the cooling tower economics.
In the majority of applications, the design duty of anevaporative cooling tower is based upon anacceptable/required cold water return temperature
If investment and operational costs were not a concern,the ideal design wet-bulb temperature would be equal to,or higher than, the highest local wet-bulb temperaturerecorded.
In this way, the returned water temperature would neverbe higher than the acceptable/required cold watertemperature.

The component most likely to provide improvementin tower performance is the fill packing.
The earliest and most common designs utilized
splash type fills Film type counter flow designs using relatively low
cost PVC materials.
The new film type designs provide energy savings
both in fan power and pump head through the highsurface areas per cubic feet of fill.

Film fill consists of flat or formed sheets to provide
a surface upon which water and air come in
contact for heat exchange.

A cooling tower drift eliminator is a low pressure,
momentum filter. Components are arranged to force the air leaving the fill
section to make a series of directional changes.
Water droplets, which cannot negotiate these turns,impinge on the surface of the eliminator, from which they
are collected and drained back into the wet side of thetower.
The designer's goal is to provide the maximum driftelimination at reasonable cost and minimum pressureloss.
The design of drift eliminators has undergonetremendous improvement in the last decade.
New eliminator configurations accomplish thisimprovement while actually reducing eliminator pressure
losses

Drift Eliminators
Cellular eliminators are typically constructed of PVC
sheets vacuum formed into very precise, compound
shapes, with an integral honeycomb strength. The
compound shape allows significant improvements indrift eliminations and the use of cellular structure
appreciably reduces the pressure losses through the
eliminator when compared to either the wood lath or
wave form eliminators.
The net free are of well-designed, modern cellular
eliminators is in excess of 95%.

Air-Water Distribution System Design1) Water Distribution:
Assured performance is a function of nozzle design, nozzle installationpattern, nozzle distance, and the structural cleanliness of the spraychamber.
To provide the primary function of precise water distribution, thenozzle must be designed with other considerations in mind:
The location of counter flow nozzles and the potential for poor qualitycirculating water demands that the nozzle system be designed tominimize fouling.
The nozzle must be capable of providing uniform distribution over awide range of flows, without significant loss in nozzle performance.
The nozzle must be capable of efficient operation while consuming aminimum of expensive pump energy.

Air-Water Distribution System Design2)Air Distribution: Three variables control the distribution of air to
the fill in a counter flow configuration.
The first is the air inlet geometry.
Pressure Ratio : The pressure ratio reflects the ratio ofresistance to available entering air energy. The higher the ratio,the better entering air will be spread out before entering the fill.The lower the pressure ratio, the less uniform, and less stablethe distribution of air flow becomes. The degradation of air flowuniformity is readily apparent, particularly at the inlet.
(Pressure Ratio = Static Pressure / Velocity Pressure at Air Inlet)
The third is the fan coverage over the eliminators

Each fan has only one design point which isestablished by a specific air flow, total pressure,air density, and fan speed.
The factors that must be known when replacing
a fan on an existing installation are:
1. Fan diameter.
2. Installed motor horsepower.
3. Gear reduction ratio of gear reducer.4. Shaft size or gear reducer model.
5. Some estimate of elevation above sea level ofinstallation.
