INPUT DATA
Unit Load 1 & 3 of the Station = 500 MW
COC = 3
Mains Frequency = 50 CPS
Inlet Cooling Water Temperature = 44.00 C
Inlet Cooling Water Temperature(Rated) = 42.00 C
Outlet Cooling Water Temperature = 37.60 C
Outlet Cooling Water Temperature(Rated) 33.00 C
Air Wet Bulb Temperature near Cell = 29.30 C
Air Wet Bulb Temperature near Cell(Rated) 27.50 C
Air Dry Bulb Temperature near Cell = 40.80 C
Number of CT Cells on line with water flow = 45
Total = 48
Total Measured Cooling Water Flow = 70426.76 m/hr
Measured CT Fan Flow = 989544.00 m/hr

Cooling Duty Handled/Cell in kCal = 10016256 kCal/hr
(i.e., Flow * Temperature Difference in kCal/hr)
=
Rated 21240000 kCal/hr
Evaporation Losses in m3/hr = 15.33 m3/hr per cell
Percentage Evaporation Loss = 0.9792%
Blow down requirement for site COC of 3.0000 = 7.66 m3/hr per cell
Make up water requirement/cell in m/hr=Evaporation Loss + Blow down Loss= 22.99 m3/hr
