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 ...

There are literally miles and miles of tubing in every power plant that will operate very reliably for many years. However, much of that tubing will spend much of its life in the most demanding of ...

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 South Texas Project (STP) Nuclear Power Plant in Wadsworth, Texas, was put into operation in 1988. The plant has two condenser units, acting as heat exchangers to condense the steam back into a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
