CIRCULATING WATER SYSTEM
CIRCULATING WATER SYSTEM · The circulating water system supply cold water to the condenser. · The cold water absorbs the latent heat of condensation from exhaust steam in the form of sensible heat . · Steam exhaust from low pressure steam turbine condenses in a condenser & condensed water reused in the cycle again. · In a surface condenser, the steam flows over a tube bundle & condensed and cooling water flowing inside the tubes. · Heat is transferred from steam to water with the help of tubes. Tubes are works as a barrier between cooling water and stem to be condensed. · Further the temperature of cooling water increases and become warm. · It is a continuous process in which heat is continues removed from the condenser. · This warm water reject their heat to the atmosphere through cooling towers or spray ponds or warm water dumped in to the natural water reservoir · In all thermal power plants surface co
