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 ...

Steam surface condensers are by no means one of the more “glamorous” pieces of power plant equipment. Keeping them running effectively, however, can result in substantial economic savings due to ...

In Part 1 of this series, we examined the importance of heat transfer in steam surface condensers, where waterside microbiological fouling and scale formation, or excess air in-leakage on the ...

The condenser is the component that rejects the heat from the system. Most equipment is air cooled and rejects heat to the air. The coils are copper or aluminum and both types have aluminum fins to ...

Today, it is common to find new air-cooled refrigeration condensing units using microchannel condensers. These condensers are an all-aluminum coil designed with multiple small channels within flat ...

Researchers in Spain have developed a dual-condenser air-to-water heat pump that shifts domestic hot water production to daylight hours, maximizing PV self-consumption. The prototype boosted solar ...

Increased demand and emphasis on safety and sustainability in the chemical laboratory have activated the development of new reflux condensers without water cooling. With the Findenser™, Heidolph is ...
