The steam condenser of a power plant boiler is a critical heat exchanger in the process. Poor performance due to restricted heat transfer can have a dramatic influence on unit efficiency. And, ...

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 ...

If coal and natural gas power generation were 2% more efficient, then, every year, there could be 460 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide released and 2 trillion fewer gallons of water used. A recent ...

GEI Industrial Systems, market leader in India’s air-cooled steam condenser space, inked a technical alliance with Innospin of Switzerland – a strategic initiative that will enable the company to tap ...

Sentry System helps optimize plant efficiency by precisely detecting air-in leakage in turbine exhaust systems. October 24, 2001 — Just as the days of juicy “cost-plus” defense contracts have gone the ...

Declining performance of a large compressor-driven steam turbine's surface condenser at Shell Chemical LP's petrochemical complex in Norco, La., was constraining an associated process unit to a ...
