  • Abstract
    For energy-saving or water-saving consideration, performance optimization of air-cooled condenser is important. The optimization calculation results for the cool-end of a 600MW SC air cooling unit show that cool-end optimization has economic benefits for SC and USC air cooling units. Based on the same idea, the idea of cool-end optimization method of USC air cooling units with 1000MW is suggested in this paper, in order to improve the economic operation of a direct air cooling system in thermal power plant.
