This innovative air-cooled condenser (ACC) directly condenses steam turbine exhaust and returns the condensate to the boiler without any water loss, similar to a traditional ACC.
It includes factory pre-assembled structural components and heat exchangers integrated within steam and condensate manifolds. This high level of prefabrication significantly reduces construction costs compared to a conventional A-frame ACC design.
This version of the conventional A-frame SRC® Air-Cooled Condenser design features factory-assembled structural components, ducting, and heat exchanger bundles.
It offers construction cost savings of up to 25% and can shorten construction time by several months on large power plant projects. In addition, it helps increase power production during periods of low ambient air temperature.
The ModuleAir® construction saves up to 25% in time (compared to a standard A-frame design). Thanks to the factory pre-assembled components, the assembly of steel parts on site is reduced by up to 50%.
The innovative technology of the ModuleAir® results in lower steam velocity in the finned tubes which leads to a lower risk of flow accelerated corrosion.
The combination of a reduced structural steel weight and a smaller number of foundations in the ModuleAir®, leads to a smaller ecological footprint.
ModuleAir® Air-Cooled Condensers are extremely resistant to corrosion and to freezing. This product guarantees a long-term mechanical and thermal integrity.
