Compressor Cooling
The water requirements for the compressors will be approximately 7350 l/hr in order to give sufficient cooling to the compressors.
The cooling water supply to the booster should be as cool as possible, clean and particle free. The water supply should have a maximum supply pressure of 5 bar g and maximum approach water temperature of 35°C.
It would be necessary for manual isolating valves to be put into the water inlet &outlet lines at the time of installation for maintenance purposes. Any isolating valve installed at the inlet to the machine should be capable of throttling the water flow to achieve a nominal 10 to 12°C temperature rise through the compressor for optimum operating conditions. If required thermometers can be provided on the cooling water inlet and outlet connections to allow monitoring of the cooling water supply / return lines.
