Description: This system is installed on shell and tube heat exchangers and keeps the tubes clean without time-consuming intervention. Specialized cleaning balls are injected at set intervals into the ...

Maintaining clean condenser tubes is of vital importance for reliable, efficient power generation. Two major problems result from fouled tubes: (1) Loss of heat transfer, and (2) Under-deposit ...

Chil-Con brand shell and tube condensers incorporate proprietary Chil-Flux enhanced-surface copper tubes for maximum heat transfer capability, says the company. Features of the condensers include: ...

OMAHA PUBLIC POWER District’s North Omaha Power Station has been operating on the west bank of the Missouri River for many years. The station has four coal-fired units with a total capacity of 600 MW.

The quality of the cooling water intake and the amount of debris in that water affects the operation and performance of the condenser and therefore the thermal performance of the typical steam plant.

While there is an industry-wide understanding that compromised condenser tubes reduce unit performance in the short term, the long-term effects of this neglect can be detrimental, forcing unplanned ...
