Abstract
The electric utility industry is familiar with the rapidly increasing size of steam electric stations and the enormous quantities of cooling water that must be moved to serve them. Designers recognize the importance of the many factors which must be considered in providing a system of lowest initial cost, and minimum operating expense, with a high degree of reliability and availability. This paper presents a brief review of a number of tidewater installations in California rather than an analysis of the detail of mechanical and hydraulic features of cooling water systems.
