Most power plants use some form of condenser performance-monitoring protocol. Some of those protocols are deficient because the proper instrumentation is not installed to collect the necessary data.

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 ...

Part 1 of this series discussed the importance of steam condensation in conventional power units and the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of combined cycle plants. Condenser tube waterside ...

Dirty or fouled condenser coils are one of the most frequent service problems in the commercial refrigeration and air conditioning fields today. If a condenser coil is dirty or fouled, its ability to ...

This may not sound like much, but such improvement can be very valuable. In this first part of a two-part series, we will examine basic ideas behind the importance of condenser heat transfer, and in ...
