Comments on: Air-Cooled versus Water-Cooled Steam Condensers for Power Boilers http://engineeringcases.knovelblogs.com/2010/02/17/air-cooled-versus-water-cooled-steam-condensers-for-power-boilers/ Just another WordPress site Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:39:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Eric Devos http://engineeringcases.knovelblogs.com/2010/02/17/air-cooled-versus-water-cooled-steam-condensers-for-power-boilers/#comment-85138 Eric Devos Fri, 14 Oct 2011 09:30:58 +0000 http://engineeringcases.knovelblogs.com/?p=169#comment-85138 I'm sorry to have to respond that this "study" does not address all of the concerns that are faced when selecting one or the other option. We are ourselves in the process of making a similar decision and would like to stress that in this article, apples are compared to oranges. It does not take into account: - the investment in a separate cooling tower with pumps - the cost of (demin) water needed for evaporation - the cost involved in waste water diversion of the CW purge - the power needed for the cooling water circuit and the forced draft in the cooling tower As the information given in the article only (barely) scratches the surface, it did not help us at all in establishing a good comparison between the two technologies.

Please guide me how much should be the TTD between steam and air and temperature rise for the air. thanking you sir, Regards, P K Saloni Dear sir,
