PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF NATURAL AND INDUCED DRAFT COOLING TOWER IN SUMMER AND MONSOON SEASONS
Keywords:
Thermal power, Cooling tower, Natural DraftAbstract
In India 68% of total electricity generate by coal based thermal power plant. Now a day’s thermal power plant is
very efficient and gradually increasing the generation of electricity. Where water is the most usable part in the thermal power plant, it is used for the generation of the steam. Water resources are easily available in plenty amount, but usage of water has to be done very carefully to from the environment point of view. In the thermal power plant large amount of water is used for the steam generation and it also recirculated. For the continuous recirculation of water, it is necessary to cool it. For this purpose, cooling tower is used in the thermal power plant. Cooling tower is an essential part of the thermal power plant. It cools the hot water and releases heat in the environment. A cooling tower cools water by a combination of heat and mass transfer. Water to be cooled is distributed in the tower by spray nozzles, splash bars, or film-type fill, which exposes a very large water surface area to atmospheric air. So here i’m analyzing the performance of natural and Induced draft cooling tower in different seasons. And here we have used the analytical method for the analysis of cooling tower. This method of analysis is quite popular and have been referred by most of the researchers working in this field. The result coming through this method is quite comparable with practical scenarios.
