For Steam power plant having Capacity 600 MW the requirement of condenser and cooling tower is as follow.

1) Condenser:- Given Capacity is medium to low capacity for this we can use Jet Condenser

-Which cooling water and steam are mixed to each other ,

-Mainly it requires less quantity of cooling water.

-It is simple in construction and less costly. 

-Maintenance cost Is also less.

2) Cooling Tower :- For this Capacity we can use Force draught cooling tower

 - Less space is required

 -Cooling rate and efficiency of tower is high

 -Temperature of water coming out from tower can be controlled.
