Cooling System And Condenser Problems In Dr. Shareef Power Station

Abstract

This research deals with the energy resource in Sudan. It included the steam plants, their components problems. The study is applied on Dr. Shareef Power Station in Khartoum North. It studied and displayed the station cooling system problems and the hazards which occur to this station; the deterioration of its performance and to the periods of its redundancy. The findings of the research show that the deterioration of performance of the condenser, is due to the following:

1.Cooling tower problems. 2.Condenser problems. 3.Bad quality cooling water. 4.The non-conducting of the specified tests of the cooling water. 5.Problems of the other components of the cooling system.

Several suggestions were proposed for the maintenance; so as to avoid the occurrence of the current problems. This would help in increase of the efficiency of the stations. Likewise, Proposal was provided for doing that.
