Abstract:
Vacuum condensation system by using evaporative condenser and air removal system coupled to condensing turbines in thermoelectric plants, preferably made of stainless steel, metal alloys or other materials. This condensing system is basically composed of an evaporative condenser (03), air removal ejector system (15, 16, 17) and condensers, turbine exhaust steam collector system with pipelines, collection and return systems of the condensate to the boiler. The exhaust steam generated in the turbine is driven by steam collector system, condensed in the evaporative condenser, the air is removed from the system by the air removal (ejectors) and the condensed is returned to the boiler by the condensed system.
Abstract:
A gas cooling assembly (10) comprises a plurality of tubular ducts (20), which convey a cooling liquid within them, and a pack of mutually parallel metal sheets (30). Each sheet (30) provides, for each tubular duct (20), a through hole (31) surrounded by a collar (33), which engages a length of the duct. Each tubular duct (20) is composed of a series of modular annular elements (21) of plastic material. The annular elements (21) lock the collars (33) and are reciprocally connected by means of tubular projections (24).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mechanical draft cooling tower that employs air cooled condenser modules. The aforementioned cooling tower operates by mechanical draft and achieves the exchange of heat between two fluids such as atmospheric air, ordinarily, and another fluid which is usually steam. The aforementioned cooling tower utilizes a modular air cooled condenser concept wherein the air cooled condensers utilize heat exchange deltas that use tube bundles that are manufactured and assembled prior to being shipped to the tower site.

Abstract:
An air cooled condenser fan deck subassembly system and method including eight subassembly parts which are pre-assembled prior to arrival at the final assembly location. The eight subassembly parts include four inner subassembly parts and four outer subassembly parts, each of which are sized to fit in a standard sea container. Once the eight fan deck subassembly parts are delivered to the site, they are unloaded and bolded together, resulting in significant time and cost savings to the purchaser and erector.
