Enhanced condenser tube designs can significantly improve the heat rate and performance of fossil and nuclear plants. Using the optimum number of tubes and replacement tube sheets will cost more than ...

Maintaining clean condenser tubes is of vital importance for reliable, efficient power generation. Two major problems result from fouled tubes: (1) Loss of heat transfer, and (2) Under-deposit ...

The Automatic Tube Cleaning System (ATCS) provides energy-saving, on-line condenser tube cleaning for water-cooled chiller applications. The system periodically injects sponge balls into the condenser ...

The steam surface condenser is an integral component at electric utilities and other facilities that generate power. It is also the point where highly pure condensate can potentially come in contact ...

Steam surface condensers are by no means one of the more “glamorous” pieces of power plant equipment. Keeping them running effectively, however, can result in substantial economic savings due to ...

TIME FOR CHANGE Old bundle (above) prepares to exit as new one moves in.(below). Steel bracing temporarily strengthens condenser wall. (Photos courtesy of Nooter Construction Co.) Preparing to replace ...

The BLG condenser unit contains new bare tube condenser coils in its refrigeration system, replacing regular fin-type condenser coils. Bare tube condenser coils use bare tubes to perform the same task ...
