Blade Cooling Tower, DilaminasiAbstract
Analisis kerusakan blade cooling tower yang menggunakan bahan polimer di PT Pupuk Kujang Cikampek. Cooling tower merupakan komponen penting dalam sistem pendingin yang digunakan untuk mendinginkan air pendingin yang telah melewati proses pemindahan panas dari uap keluaran turbin pada condenser. Bahan polimer yang digunakan pada blade cooling tower memiliki kelebihan seperti ringan, tahan erosi dan mudah dibentuk, namun juga rentan terhadap kerusakan akibat faktor-faktor lainnya. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui penyebab utama kerusakan blade cooling tower di PT Pupuk Kujang Cikampek. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan dan analisis, ditemukan bahwa polimer mengalami dilaminasi. Untuk mencegah terjadinya kegagalan operasi cooling tower, dianjurkan untuk memantau dan melakukan pemeliharaan secara berkala. Pemeliharaan yang tepat dapat meminimalkan risiko kerusakan dan memastikan kinerja cooling tower tetap optimal.
