Why condenser modules?
Metallurgy: No longer the panacea once thought, copper based alloys can cause deposition problems in boilers, turbines and steam generators. In addition, water treatment chemistry may have changed or salinity and/or pollutant levels in cooling water may no longer be compatible with existing tube materials. Performance: The existing condenser can no longer or has never achieved the designed backpressure. Re-tubing cannot change venting capabilities, flow configurations, tube patterns, etc. Uprate criteria can be incorporated into new designs and new bundle configurations can improve backpressure at higher steam flows thereby increasing mega-watt output. Flexibility: New bundle designs are not limited to the existing tube pattern (different diameter tubes can be used to increase performance), existing support plate spacing (lighter gage tubing will vibrate in the existing unsupported span), and out dated deaeration designs (TEi uses the latest proven deaeration designs to eliminate air b
