Abstract :
Debris Filter is an important secondary filtering equipment, to filter out dirt that is carried when cooling water flows into condenser pipes. The performance of debris filters that are not reliable in filtering causes the flow of cooling water to the condenser pipes to decrease so that the condenser performance is not optimal. Because of some weaknesses of filter debris, this tool is categorized as less reliable, so improvements are made to prevent the flow of cooling water from being reduced. The first is by manually ejecting the effect only temporarily, a second alternative is done, namely by replacing the high performance debris filter. The new Debris filter has several advantages that the old Debris filter does not have, such as a two-way backwash rotation system and an automatic operating system. The backwash system is when the differential pressure reaches a certain setting, the system starts cleaning the debris filter for the backwash. The reliability of Debris Filter affects the condenser performance from the vacuum level and condenser pipe outlet temperature, it can be seen that the condenser performance when the temperature outlet cooling water is low, the condenser vacuum will be higher so that the condensation process in the condenser is maximal.
