    The document describes the existing cooling water system for a utility plant which has two counter current flow cooling towers with a capacity of 150 cubic meters per hour each. It notes operational difficulties like lack of standby capacity and the need for planned shutdowns for maintenance. It then proposes adding a new cooling tower to address these issues. The new system would allow single mode operation without a hot well pump, easier preventative maintenance without shutdowns, and potential power savings. The estimated cost for the new cooling tower and associated work is 650,000 rupees.

    COOLING WATER SYSTEM

    DEVELOPMENT

    IN UTILITY
    Cooling Tower Specification:
    • Number of systems : 2
    • Capacity : 150 m3 / hr each (circulating water)
    • Type : Counter Current Flow Induced draft.
    • Overall size of the tower L x B x H (m) : 2.94 x 2.94 x 4.075
    Hot water circulation pump capacity:
    180m3/hr
    • Cooling water recirculation pump capacity for process plant
    • 90 m3/hr each (2W +1S) = 180 m3 /hr
    • Cooling water requirement for process plant = 140 m3/hr

    • Cooling water recirculation pump capacity for compressors


    • 90 m3/hr each (1W +1S) = 90 m3/hr
    • Cooling water requirement for compressors = 72 m3/hr
    Operation difficulties
    • No stand-by
    • Risky operation
    • Plant shutdown (1 day ) is required for Preventive maintenance
    • Pump & Motor PM Maintenance Not possible
    • Electrical panel maintenance Not possible
    • Power consumption more
