INTRODUCTION:
This document gives the system description, Design Philosophy and Control & Instrumentation Philosophy
covering Cooling Water & Circulating Cooling Water Systems.
1.1 CW System:
The CW System envisaged for each unit shall be closed circuit recirculating type with Induced draft Cooling
Tower. The CW system will deliver cooling water to Condenser and CCW system.
Cooling water shall be supplied to Condenser and CCW system through CW pumps installed in CW pump
House. The hot water return from Condenser & CCW system of each unit shall be led together to respective
Cooling Tower for cooling. The cooled water from cooling tower shall be returned to CW sump by gravity for
recirculation in the closed cycle CW system. Make up water shall be added in the CW forebay of CW system
(refer details in Plant water P&ID).
Tapping of water for Side stream filteration plant shall be taken from the CW supply whereas tappining
for blow down shall be taken from the hot water return from Condenser & CCW system for each unit.
The blow down from both the units shall be combined together & taken to the guard pond.
(For details refer Plant water P&ID).
COLTCS:
The condenser on load tube cleaning system shall be provided to prevent the formation of scales in the condens.
tubes. Cleaning balls shall be transported through the condenser tubes by the cooling water flow and after
cleaning of the tubes they shall be separated from the cooling water by the balls separator installed at condenser
outlet. The balls are then extracted by balls recirculation pump and reinjected into the condenser CW inlet line.
