SPG Dry Cooling Box-Air 2.0 Air Cooled Condenser designed and manufactured for FATA S.p.A. The solar power plant will generate 4.26 MW. Partanna solar power plant, situated in Partanna is located in the middle of Sicily, Italy. Situated 104km from Palermo.
Needs
- There is limited space available to install this Box-Air installation
- Achieving a low noise requirement
- Need to reduce as much as possible the electrical consumption in guaranteed case
“Proactive partnership, intense and close technical collaboration and tailor-made planning of works.“
Solution
- Box-Air 2.0® ACC allows to reduce the need of space at ground level thanks to its compact and cantilevered configuration
- The installation of low noise fans allowed to match the stringent noise requirement
- The presence of many fans of small dimension and the installation of frequency converters allow to minimize the electrical power consumption in all the operating cases
- Limited visual height as the ACC is lower than 12 m
- Possibility to operate at very low steam turbine back-pressure thanks to the limited tube bundle length
- Reduced air side pressure drop allows to minimize the axial fans power consumption
Execution
SPG DC engineering and project execution team managed in the best possible way the challenges to manufacture and deliver the first ACC of this type manufactured in the world
Benefits
- High number of installed fans allows to have high flexibility and high reliability of the system
- Reduced maintenance cost and timing
- Possibility to duplicate the ACC in other similar plants reducing engineering time and delivery time
