1.25 42 − 27.8
𝑡𝑜 = 30.64 °C
Thus, the outlet temperature of the cooling tower is 30.64 °C

 Comparison of Selected Condenser and Cooling Tower

The table 6.12 shows the comparison of the selected Condenser and Cooling
Tower.

Based from the recommended cooling water temperature given by Harbin Electric
Power Equipment Company Ltd., 2015, condenser with cooling water of 33°C will be
selected. For the selection of the cooling tower specification, condenser’s cooling water
inlet and outlet temperature as well as the cooling water flow are considered. Given that
the condenser’s cooling water inlet temperature and outlet temperature are 33°C and
40°C respectively, cooling tower with the same or larger temperature range is selected.
