ANALISA PERPINDAHAN PANAS COOLING TOWER (INDUCED DRAFT) PLTU I PULANG PISAU (2 x 60 MW)

Abstract

The study aims to determine the heat transfer and performance of cooling tower Pulang Pisau I Power Plant (2 x 60 MW) by comparing the result data obtained during commissioning and 2018. Pulang Pisau I Power Plant (2 x 60 MW) is a power plant using a closed cooling system with the cooling tower. Cooling tower in a power plant have a very important role, as the main cooling media to keep the condenser temperature stable. Cooling tower is one of the heat transfer equipment in a power plant. In Pulang Pisau I Power Plant (2 x 60 MW), cooling tower performance needs to be examined and analyzed how heat transfer and efficiency are to get some input to improve / maintain the performance of the cooling tower. The highest rate of heat transfer from Pulang Pisau - Daya PLTU I 2 x 60 MW cooling tower occurred on December 2nd, 2018 at 06.00 WIB, a load of 51.0 MW which was 6.883 kW and the lowest occurred on November 24th, 2018 at 15.00 WIB, 14.6 MW which was 2.752 kW. Average efficiency value of 71%.
