Abstract
Cooling work system at PT. Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk Tarjun Plant-12
uses a cooling tower marley fan 3 type mechanical draft, counterflow flow 10.221
m3 / h which functions to cool the output water from the condenser through a
nozzle to spray it by spraying some water into the air and discharging it into the
atmosphere, so water falls into the water basin through a drift eliminator.
Environmental temperature affects the cooling tower performance. The cooler the
environment the better the cooling tower performance. The effect of
environmental temperature and performance on cooling tower is the discussion in
this study. The results of calculations in the study show that the environmental
temperature affects the cooling tower performance where in the morning until late
afternoon at certain temperatures or weather the cooling tower performance
experiences a significant increase and decrease. While the average efficiency, the
range and approach from 2016 to 2019 has decreased efficiency by 8.44%,
decreasing the range by 1.24 ° C and decreasing the approach by 0.82 ° C.
