摘要 / Abstract
冷卻水塔(Cooling Tower)一直是各廠回收水(RCW)使用量最大的單元,其使用量(即蒸發量)與當下環境的溫度、濕度皆有
關,而環境溫濕度又與季節(長期)、日夜(每天)有關,以現況Cooling tower固定液位補水之控制模式會有日間因溫度較高蒸發
量大補水量不足需須補充工業用水(ICW),而夜間溫度較低蒸發量小補水量過剩導致原本可回收的水因需求量不足而切往放流
的現象,並無法隨日夜環境變化達到水資源利用之最佳化。為解決上述問題,本文提出Cooling Tower水資源管理最佳化之控制
模式,利用分散式控制系統(DCS)既有之功能將Cooling tower液位隨蒸發量即時自動調整,夜間可將過剩之RCW蓄積於Cooling

tower內供給日間蒸發量較大時使用。效益評估:節水量約~80m /天,節省自來水用量與廢水排放約14,400m /年;節能部分,
藉單台pump VFD持續追減載即可維持Basin液位,改善後於2020夏~2021春相較2019夏~2020春約降低250,438度/年(約28%);
操作改善部分,減少值班人員手動操作Loading與MO可能性,約減少1.25次/天手動操作,全年約減少456次手動操作。
關鍵詞 / 冷卻水塔、回收水、工業用水、分散式控制系統
Cooling Towers(CT) always are the most significant Reuse City Water(RCW) using unit of TSMC FABs, the amount of daily
usage is mostly related to temperature and humidity, again the two factors are related to what the season and daytime or
nighttime it is.
Currently, The control mode of CT water level is to fill or stop by the fixed level setpoint, and it leads to the problem that
when daytime RCW is short due to the significant evaporation, so RCW need to be supplied by Industrial City Water(ICW)
to meet the demand ; but when it is nighttime, RCW is excess also due to the evaporation, and the excess water finally be
discharged as wastewater.
To solve this problem, this article proposed a new control mode of cooling tower water management, that is, Using the grate
PID processor function of Distributed Control System(DCS) to make the water level of CT could be dynamically fitted to the current
evaporation, so that saved the excess water of nighttime to meet the demand of daytime. The effectiveness is : ①Save 14,400m 3
water per year;②Save 250,4387 KWH per year;③For work load reduction : reducing 456 times of manual operation per year.
