The traditional A-Frame is a state-of-the-art air-cooled condenser (ACC). It’s suitable for small to large power plants in a large variety of conditions (low ambient temperature, high wind, high seism, low noise and many others).
ACCs immediately condense the steam turbine exhaust flow and return condensate to the boiler without water loss. The steam is directly condensed in air-cooled finned tubes without using an intermediate surface condenser.
An air-cooled condenser (ACC) is made of modules arranged in parallel rows. Each module contains several fin tube bundles. An axial flow forced-draft fan located in each module, forces the cooling air through the heat exchange area of the fin tubes. An ACC installation consists of:
