Air Cooled Condenser Air Cooled Condensers
The Research Cottrell Dry Cooling (RCDC) Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) represents state-of-the-art design and incorporates developments and lessons learned from decades of experience.
The ACC design is optimized for each client to provide a guaranteed maximum efficiency depending on the client’s criteria for balancing capital and operating costs. Each section of the ACC is designed for performance, cost and constructability.
The entire system is guaranteed; RCDC undertakes integral studies related to the steam ducts and manifolds, the steel support structure, condensate piping, and other special studies as appropriate in order to address design issues including cold weather operation, fan stall, noise, wind effects, and seismic activity. Considerations include delivery logistics, construction planning and sequencing, including design details for constructability.
the process ctec™ single row tube technology
The RCDC ACC design is based on a single row of condenser The RCDC CTEC™ single row tube is based on these decades tubes over which forced draft air passes to condense turbine of industry experience to provide a state-of-the-art brazed fin exhaust steam. This steam is then conveyed in large steam tube design which provides multiple benefits including: ducts and manifolds to the overhead steam headers. The fin tubes are arranged into A-frame bundles with forced draft Winter freeze protection (–40°C and below) provided by large multiblade fans. Each of these modules is Lowest noise levels further organized into streets depending on the size of the Lowest auxiliary power (low pressure drops) project. Limited plot area (compact units) No loss of performance at all temperature ranges Condensed steam is collected by gravity into a condensate No environmental impact; full recyclability tank which in turn is located to meet the NPSH requirements of the condensate pumps for return to the steam generator. Since the 1990s, more than 50,000 MW of power plants around the world, under all climate conditions, sea shore and The efficiency of the steam condensation process is land, are using single row technology. maintained by using the appropriate vacuum systems to remove non-condensable gases (air) from the system. experience list
Research Cottrell Dry Cooling has provided over 50 ACC installations since 2010 - covering the full range of applications for all sizes and in all climates - including the world’s largest ACC contract for Saudi Electric.
