Abstract:

Abstract:The conventional cooling mode of the air compressor of a power plant and the air compressor system of the whole plant were introduced. Combining with the actual situation of the plant, the waste heat utilization scheme of cooling circulating water for the air compressors and economic performance of the system design were analyzed. A design idea was proposed, in which the cooling tower will be replaced by plate heat exchanger to cool the lubricant oil of the air compressors.
