By how much does the energy consumption of an air turbine compressor increase when the cooling water temperature rises by one degree?

What is the increase in energy consumption when the temperature of the circulating water rises by 1 degree, given an outlet pressure of 0.43 MPa and 100,000 units of air being processed through a three-stage compression process?
The specific calculations are quite complex, but there is an empirical value: under the conditions you specified, with three stages of compression and assuming that the compression ratio for each stage remains constant, if the temperature of the gas increases by 1 degree Celsius after cooling, then the power consumption of the air compressor increases by 4%. Using this estimate, it depends on how much the exhaust temperature rises when the cycle water temperature increases by 1 degree~~
There isn’t a specific formula for this; there are many influencing factors, such as ambient temperature and water volume.
There’s a formula, but it’s quite complicated to calculate~~ Hehe~~
