Inlet and outlet to a condenser water pump
(OP)
I see some condenser (cooling tower) water pumps have inlet pipe size larger than the outlet. What is the reason for that?

As already pointed out, it is desireable to reduce the inlet losses to a minimum, therefore having an increased diameter for the inlet pipework is one way of reducing inlet losses.
When you look at many pump ranges you will see that inlet /outlet configurations are usually something like
1.5" x 1"
2" x 1.5"
3" x 2"
4" x 3"
6" X 4"
8" X 6"
10" x 8"
12" x 10"

24" x 20" etc
