Abstract
The aim of this paper is to choose the correct capacity of Thermal Calculation for Water Cooling Tower to Cool Compressor ATLAS COPCO GA 250 FF since a cooling tower is considered as an essential component for a compressor in an oil and gas pipe manufacture plant. Cooling tower is an equipment device commonly used to dissipate heat from air conditioning, water-cooled refrigeration, power generation units, and industrial process. In this paper, we use a induced draft counter flow tower for the design of cooling tower which based on Merkel’s method. The tower characteristic is determined by Merkel’s method. A simple algebraic formula is used to calculate the optimum water and air flow rate. This paper calculate the cooling tower characteristic, air flow required, efficiency, effectiveness, and cooling capacity of cooling tower need to cool the compressor compare with the availability cooling tower product in the market. In this paper, we will design based on calculation thermal capacity which lead to decentralizing the cooling tower to reach better energy efficiency of the plant.
