Cooling Water and Glycol Systems
Closed-loop cooling water and glycol packages that carry heat away from turbines, generators, compressors and process equipment, built and tested as skids.
Role in the plant
A closed loop circulates water or a glycol mixture through the equipment that needs cooling and rejects the heat through heat exchangers, air-cooled coolers or a cooling tower. Glycol protects the loop against freezing where the site requires it.
- Pumps, exchangers, expansion and fill equipment on one structural base
- Loop instrumentation and controls tested before shipment
- One loop design repeated across every unit in a fleet
Typical package scope
| Element | Function |
|---|---|
| Circulation pumps | Duty and standby pumps sized to flow and loop pressure drop |
| Heat exchangers | Plate-and-frame or shell-and-tube, sized to the heat load |
| Expansion and makeup | Expansion tank, glycol fill and makeup equipment |
| Temperature control | Three-way or bypass temperature control valves |
| Filtration and air removal | Strainers, side-stream filters and air separators |
| Instrumentation and controls | Temperature, pressure and flow instruments with PLC control |
Design basis
Each package is engineered to the project requirements, specifications, governing codes and OEM requirements that apply, for a single installation or a standardized fleet.
| Design input | What it determines |
|---|---|
| Heat load | Heat to be rejected from each user |
| Temperatures | Supply and return temperatures at each user |
| Fluid | Water or glycol concentration and freeze protection |
| Flow and pressure | Loop flow and allowable pressure drop |
| Heat rejection | Exchanger, air-cooled cooler or cooling tower interface |
| Redundancy | Duty and standby pumps and exchangers as uptime requires |
