(BFP) (CEP)
Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which
drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the
steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was
heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle.

Circulating Water System
• Provided for supplying clarified water to the condenser for condensing the LP turbine
exhaust steam.
• May be of once through type or closed type (uses cooling tower).
Cooling Towers:
• Mechanical induced draft type or natural draft type.
• Hot water(60-70˚C) gets cool to 30-35˚C and runs down in forebay.
• For each unit (8 no. & 9 no.) there are 12 cells and 24 risers.
Cooling Water Pumps:
• CW pumps supply cold water from forebay to condenser at flowrate of 36000 mᶟ/h.
• 2 pumps for each unit and 1 common standby pump.
