SPG Dry Cooling Products

Air Cooled Condensers

Air Cooled Condensers directly condense exhaust steam from the steam turbine without water consumption. They are frequently used in electrical power plants and waste to energy plants of all sizes.

Features

An Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) is a direct dry cooling system where the steam is condensed inside air-cooled finned tubes. Since there is no intermediate surface condenser like Indirect Dry Cooling, the overall performance is better. The SPG Dry Cooling Air Cooled Condenser features long-term mechanical and thermal integrity, excellent corrosion and freeze resistance, low fan power consumption, reliable operation and low maintenance.

An Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) is made of modules arranged in parallel rows. Each module contains a number of fin tube bundles. An axial flow, forced-draft fan located in each module forces the cooling air across the heat exchange area of the fin tubes.

The typical scope for an ACC installation includes the supporting structure, the steam ducting from the steam turbine interface, auxiliaries such as the condensate and drain pumps, condensate and duct drain tanks, the air evacuation units and related piping works and instrumentation.

Benefits

The major benefits of Dry Cooling are:

  • Elimination of additional water usage from the condensing power cycle.
  • Flexibility in power plant site selection.
  • Decreased time required for plan permitting.
  • Top quality single row Condenser fin tubes.
90% of dry cooling solutions are A-frame type or A-frame

BoxAir ACC®

BoxAir ACC® is an innovative Induced Draft Air Cooled Condenser (ACC), suitable for all power plants ranging from 1 to 30 MWe.

BoxAir ACC® is an ACC type, integrating standard boxes that are easy to erect. The extended standardization, also enables to insure a very short delivery schedule, and a high reliability level.

BoxAir ACC®‘s typical applications are waste incineration plants, biomass, solar and geothermal power plants, or capacity increase of any existing power plant.

Features

BoxAir ACC® is an Induced Draft Air Cooled Condenser (ACC), made of several standard boxes in- stalled side by side.

The Single-Row Condenser tubes (SRC®) are arranged in two deltas inside the BoxAir ACC® box. The deltas are delivered with welded-on steam manifold and condensate collection headers.

The air is drawn across the finned tubes thanks to two axial flow fans located on top of the BoxAir ACC® box.

This ACC concept drastically reduces site welding and presents a much higher degree of preassembly, compared to a standard A-frame design. The construction duration is therefore minimized.

Benefits

The major benefits of BoxAir ACC® are:

  • Decreased wind sensitivity, improving performance during windy conditions
  • Standard design with greater degree of prefabrication in workshop
  • Enhanced average power plant Output, thanks to lower Back pressure available at low air temperature
  • Efficient, easier and safer erection
  • Reduced visual impact, lower overall height
Standard design with greater degree of prefabrication in workshop

W-Style ACC®

Our W-Style ACC® is an innovative induced draft Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) directly condensing the steam turbine exhaust flow. The condensate returns to the boiler without water loss as in traditional ACC. With its unique “W” heat exchanger arrangement, the amount of structural steel and overall ACC height are dramatically reduced as compared to traditional forced draft arrangements. With its reduced finned tube length as compared to other ACCs, reduced ACC back pressure can be achieved and flow accelerated corrosion risk notably reduced.

Features

The W-Style ACC® module utilizes our proven Single-Row Condenser (SRC®) finned tubes. The heat exchangers are arranged in a “W” orientation. Two large steam manifolds at the bottom distribute the steam to the heat exchangers. To promote effective non-condensable gas extraction, the heat exchanger arrangement includes primary, secondary and tertiary tubes. Mounted above the heat exchangers are the induced draft axial fans, gearboxes and motors. The “W” arrangement provides central support for the fan bridge mitigating vibration.

Benefits

The major benefits of W-Style ACC® are:

  • Improved access for drive system maintenance
  • Lower overall height
  • Reduced steam velocity in the finned tubes mitigating Flow Accelerated Corrosion inside the finned tubes
  • Induced Draft ACC Reduced wind sensitivity
  • Reduced number of foundations
Induced draft ACC reduced wind sensitivity

Indirect Dry Cooling (IDCT)

About IDCT

Indirect Dry Cooling (IDCT) systems have been used for over 50 years for various applications in the power industry. Active for more than three decades in the indirect dry cooling market, SPG Dry Cooling has supplied the largest indirect system presently in operation in the world.

IDCT

Indirect dry condensing system couples an indirect dry cooling tower (IDCT) with a steam surface or jet condenser and is suited for large capacity condensing units. Its tall concrete or steel shell eliminates hot air recirculation. Auxiliary is power minimized as is the number of mechanical components. This translates into reduced maintenance and high availability.

MIDCT

Mechanical Indirect Dry Cooling Tower (MIDCT) is particular type of IDCT where the cooling air flow is not the results of the natural draft from a tall concrete or steel tower but is fed from fans driven by electrical motors. MIDCT are particularly suitable for the Wet to Dry conversion or cooling capacity extension of existing IDCT.

Details

The IDCT is a dry cooling system whose major benefits are:

  • Elimination of additional water usage from the condensing power cycle.
  • Flexibility in power plant site selection.
  • No visible plume.
  • Steam flowing from the turbine is condensed by cold cooling water in either a surface condenser or in a jet condenser.
