Based on the theory of pressure difference in wet cooling tower

a 600 MW unit power plant was taken as an example to analyze the change rules of water-saving amount and power reduction of lithium chloride(LiCl)saltwater cooling system against varying of such factors as the LiCl mass fraction

weather condition and recirculation cooling water amount.The influence of these boundary conditions on economic benefits of the saltwater cooling system was also discussed.The result shows

the lithium chloride mass fraction should not get too high.If it is relatively high

the recirculation cooling water amount should be increased to enhance the economic benefit of the saltwater cooling system.Moreover

economic benefit of the saltwater cooling system decreased with the increasing environmental relative humidity and dry-bulb temperature.Therefore

the dry air and low temperature weather condition or area is more favorable for the saltwater cooling system.
