Experimental Performance Analysis of Air-Cooled Condenser for Low Pressure Steam Condensation
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: An experimental set up is made for an air-cooled condenser and observations are obtained at different air velocities. The comparisons are done between various quantities like pressure of steam, mass flow rate, velocity of air , and temperature difference of inlet steam and Outlet steam. It is found that mass flow rate of condensed steam decreases with decrease in pressure of Steam. It also decreases with decrease in Temperature difference. So the capacity of Air cooled condenser is sometimes limited by ambient conditions, but due to other problems concerned with reduced availability of water as the cooling medium for the condensation of exhaust steam, combined with an increased emphasis on environmental considerations. it is still a better alternative than traditional steam surface condenser.
