What is an Air Cooled Condensing Unit?

An air-cooled condenser unit (ACC) is a direct dry cooling system where steam is condensed inside air-cooled finned tubes. The effectiveness of an Air-Cooled Condenser (ACC) is determined by the removal of heat through the flow of cool ambient air outside the finned tubes. Thermal power plants utilize an Air-Cooled Condenser (ACC) to condense the steam discharged from the turbine. The condensed water is then fed back into the boiler in a closed-loop system. As the steam released from the turbine is under low pressure, the ACC functions under a pressure similar to a vacuum. Additionally, an air evacuation unit operates continuously to remove any non-condensable gases.

Air-Cooled Steam Condenser Working Principle

An air-cooled steam condenser is a type of condenser that is used in power plants and industrial processes to condense steam and recover energy from the process. The working principle of an air-cooled steam condenser is as follows:

  • Steam Injection: The steam to be condensed is introduced into the condenser, where it is mixed with cool air.
  • Heat Transfer: The steam releases its heat to the air as it condenses, causing the air to warm up.
  • Air Cooling: The warm air is then passed over a series of cooling fins or tubes that are cooled by forced air from fans. This cools the air and removes the heat from the steam.
  • Condensation: As the steam releases its heat, it condenses into a liquid form and is collected in a condensate tank. The condensate is then pumped back into the system to be reused.

The air-cooled steam condenser provides a number of benefits, including energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and improved safety. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for a cooling water source, which can be a major cost savings. Additionally, the air-cooled design reduces the risk of leaks and other issues associated with water-cooled systems. This makes the air-cooled steam condenser an attractive option for power plants and industrial processes that require reliable, efficient, and cost-effective steam condensation.

Applications of Air-Cooled Condenser Unit

Applications of air-cooled steam condensers include:

  1. Power Generation: Air-cooled steam condensers are commonly used in power plants to condense steam from the turbine and recover energy.
  2. Industrial Processes: Air-cooled steam condensers are also used in a variety of industrial processes, including petrochemical and chemical processes, refining, and paper and pulp production.
  3. Waste Heat Recovery: Air-cooled steam condensers are also used in waste heat recovery systems to condense steam from process heat and recover energy for reuse.
  4. HVAC Systems: Air-cooled steam condensers are sometimes used in HVAC systems to condense refrigerant and recover energy.
  5. Steam Driven Generators: Air-cooled steam condensers are also used in steam driven generators to condense steam and recover energy.
  6. Cogeneration Systems: Air-cooled steam condensers are also used in cogeneration systems to condense steam and recover energy for reuse.

These are just a few examples of the many applications of air-cooled steam condensers. The air-cooled design makes these condensers a flexible and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial and power generation applications.

What Are the Advantages of Air-Cooled Condensers?

  • Air cooled condensers are simple in construction as they do not need pipes for air.
  • Since air is freely available in huge quantity, the running costs are very less.
  • Warm air disposal is not a problem
  • Condenser fouling is also not a problem and normally is not found in air cooled condensers
  • The set up can be with low maintenance costs.

    Single Row Air cooled condenser

    • The Single Row Condenser (SRC) is a type of air-cooled steam condenser that is situated at the exit of a steam turbine. The condensed exhaust steam occurs within a solitary row of fin tubes.
    • This power generation system has applications in Fossil Power Plants, Combined Cycle Power Plants, Cogeneration Plants, Refuse Recovery Power Plants and other industrial applications.

     

    Single Row Systems v/s Multi-row systems 

    • The single row tubing needs more spacing as compared to the multi-row tubing. However, single row tubing is more efficient than multi-row tubing. This is due to the reason that the surrounding air temperature is meant for single tubing and is less than that of multi tubing.
    • In multi-tubing, the temperature of the air increases as it moves through each row of tubes, causing the difference in temperature between the condensate and air to decrease in each successive row of tubing. The temperature of air becomes too close to temperature of condensate and therefore the efficiency also decreases
