Analysis of C ondenser N-16000-2 U nit I PLTU I Central Kalimantan ( 2x60) MW

Abstract

This paper compares the performance of a condenser during the period between August and December 2018 to that during the commissioning period. It belongs to the Steam Power Plant (PLTU) I in Central Kalimantan. The comparisons are carried out in terms of the load, LMTD, temperature efficiency, capacity ratio, and effective heat transfer coefficient. The overall results suggest that time evidentlytakesitstollontheperformanceastheUeffdecreasedfrom1980W/m2K during the commissioning to 1319,4 W/m2K in December 2018. Fouling is the main reason for this.
