Vortex generator arrays in air-cooled condensers for power plant applications
… of the lower and upper limits of the air velocity range between 1-5 m/s in a typical air-cooled condenser (ACC) system. The effects of interacting and non-interacting vortices on the Nusselt number and pressure drop are observed for the two Reynolds numbers. The low-Re cases flow …

Application of probabilistic deep learning models to simulate thermal power plant processes
… input features, including the excess air ratio, steam temperatures, flow rates and pressures are used to predict the HTCs. In the second case study, an encoder-decoder mixturedensity network (MDN) is developed using recurrent neural networks (RNN) for the prediction of utility-scale …

Heat transfer and visualization in large flattened-tube condensers with variable inclination
… with low inlet mass flux of vapor. The steel condenser tube in this study was designed for use in a power-plant air-cooled-condenser array with forced convection of air. The tube was cut in half lengthwise and covered with a polycarbonate viewing window. The half tube had inner dimensions of …

Steam condensation in flattened-tube air-cooled condensers
Air-cooled condensers for power plants are an alternative to closed-cycle wet cooling with a condenser and cooling tower pair. Air-cooled condensers cool the process steam by forced-convection of air, replacing the water evaporation found in traditional power-plant designs. Air-cooled condensers …

Effect of inclination on pressure drop and flow regimes in large flattened-tube steam condensers
… of steam in a large flattened tube used in air-cooled condensers (ACC) for power plants. Steam with mass flux of about 7 kg m-2 s-1 was condensed inside a 10.7 m long, flattened test tube with inclination angle varied from horizontal up to 70o. The original full-sized steel tube was cut in …

Design and performance characterization of high power density air-cooled compact condenser heat exchangers
… and characterization of ultra-compact air-cooled condenser heat exchangers with exceptional power density performance in excess of 100 W/cm3. This exceptional heat exchanger performance is attributed to the implementation of high-speed compressible air flow in circular microchannels and …

Development of a process modelling methodology and condition monitoring platform for air-cooled condensers
Air-cooled condensers (ACCs) are a type of dry-cooling technology that has seen an increase in implementation globally, particularly in the power generation industry, due to its low water consumption. Unfortunately, ACC performance is susceptible to changing ambient conditions, such as dry bulb …
