Pumps Cooling Water

The cooling water pumps circulate cooling water on the primary and secondary side of the heat exchanger. Unless the cooling pumps are working effectively, the energy generation can either not run or the cost of running on reserve pumps is very high. Therefore availability is the key in this particular system.

Owing to the low tolerances in the gearbox, there will be wear on the parts in the form of micro-pitting and particles in the oil. In addition, ingress of water leads to oil degradation, which can lead to severely reduced lifetimes of components.

Depending on the level of water in the oil, a or can remove particles, water and oil degradation products from the oil in only one process. This considerably reduces the risk of damage to the cooling tower water pumps and extends the lifetime of components.
