DIRECT AIR COOLED CONDENSER SYSTEM

In regions which are remote from water resources, air cooled condenser (ACC) is an important role of a condensing equipment.

Air Cooled Condenser utilizes ambient air to remove heat out of exhaust steam for thermal or biomass power plants.

DESCRIPTION:
Generally, applying another type in an insufficient-water area needs to make a water reservoir to collect the water for serving cooling tower. Thus, Air cooled condenser (ACC) will help reduce capital cost of such a water reservoir, save water consumption cost during operation. Also, it solves the problem of diverting water from the community.

In the thermal power plants, exhaust steam from the steam turbine flow into the air cooled condenser (ACC) where the condensation occurs. Then the condensate-water returns to the boiler in a closed loop. Meanwhile the exhaust steam coming from the turbine is at a low pressure, the Air Cooled Condenser works at pressure as vacuum to avoid the pressure drop increase and impact to the efficiency of power generation, and then the non-condensable gases will be removed continuously by the air evacuation system.
