The Cooling Water diagram screen is shown for all plant types:

A Cooling Water Diagram

The following value is shown in the upper left corner (area 1 ):

•Steam Cycle: This is the amount of cooling water through the main steam cycle.

The lower left corner (area 2) shows the cooling water required for CCS. PC and NGCC plants will have a label at the top of this section indicating which CCS system is in use. The following values are shown as needed:

•ASU: (always shown for IGCC) This is the amount of cooling water required by the air separation unit.

•Capture Process or Added Cooling: This is the amount of cooling water required by the CO2 capture process.

•CO2 Compressor: This is the amount of cooling water required by the CO2 product compressor.

•DCC or Direct Contact Coolers: This is the amount of cooling water required by the direct contact cooler.

•Heat Recovery System: This is the amount of cooling water required by the heat recovery system.

The right side of the diagram (area 3 ) shows the total:

•Total Cooling: This is the amount of cooling water through the main steam cycle plus auxiliary cooling.
