Course overview
Combined cycle power plants require a source of water free from environmental contaminants that can be used for cleaning and washdowns as well as firefighting efforts. Cleaning and firefighting water are normally both supplied from a service water tank. The Combined Cycle Service and Fire Water Systems course explains the flow paths of the service water and fire water systems and describes their major components. It also describes the design principles governing the operation of these systems.
