ABSTRACT

The paper comprises Energy Audit of Mechanical Equipment in HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited), Mazgaon Dock, Mumbai. It represents the energy audit of counter-flow-type-induced draft cooling tower and other mechanical equipment. The technical data have been taken from Paharpur cooling tower (series 3800) HPCL, Mazgaon. Lube Plant 1 Cooling towers are generally heat-removal devices for industrial processes as well as for for chemical plants. The present review is aimed at study and research on the cooling tower for increasing the efficiency and power savings to make it more economical and efficient. Using boiler of high efficiency helps in reducing the cost which is an important factor in industries and to reduce the emissions. The direct efficiency method can be used but it does not focus on energy losses so the standard methods are used. But the modified Siegert’s equation is a very common equation for finding out the boiler efficiency.
