Influence of Desalinated Seawater with Softening Pretreatment on the Efficiency of Power Plant Heat Transfer System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the combination of cooling towers and plate heat exchanger was used to concentrate the seawater after desalination. The experimental results show that: The heat transfer coefficient was found to increase by 9.6% as the concentration of desalinated seawater with softening pretreatment was increased four times. With the concentration of the brine increases three times, the outlet temperature of cooling tower decrease by 1.1°C, the heat emission efficiency of cooling tower increases by 13.4%, and the evaporation loss of cooling tower increases by 20% per hour.
