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 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 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 ...

Condensers are one part of the power plant where the technology is well defined and the benefits of keeping a clean condenser are easily determined. Condenser maintenance is a "pay me now or pay me ...

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 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 ...
