Abstract: Current practices for operation of a water-chilling plant (WCP) in the cement product industry in Kuwait have been studied and evaluated under different load conditions. Experimental results and weather data are used to demonstrate deficiencies in the present design. An analysis has been conducted to arrive at the optimum use of a cooling tower (CT) and chillers for year-round application. A significantly larger cooling tower is recommended for technical and economic viability. Our case study may serve as a guide for optimizing the design and operation of other types of water-chilling plants.
