Description
Definition:
An air cooled condenser (ACC) is a direct dry cooling system which do not require cooling water, where gas or steam is condensed inside air-cooled finned tubes. The cool ambient air flow outside the finned tubes is what removes heat and defines the functionality of an ACC.
How an Air Cooled Condenser Works:
1. Hot Vapor Inlet: Exhaust steam or refrigerant vapor enters the condenser tubes.
2. Air Cooling: Ambient air is forced (by fans) or drawn naturally over finned tubes, removing heat from the vapor.
3. Condensation: The vapor cools and condenses into liquid.
4. Liquid Collection: The condensed liquid (water or refrigerant) is collected and recirculated.
Key Components:
1. Finned Tubes: Increase surface area for better heat transfer.
2. Axial or Forced-Draft Fans: Move air across the tubes.
3. Steel Frame Structure: Supports the condenser modules.
4. Vapor Distribution System: Ensures even flow of steam/vapor.
5. Condensate Collection Tank: Stores the condensed liquid.
Advantages of Air Cooled Condensers:
1. No Water Consumption: Ideal for arid regions where water is scarce.
2. Lower Maintenance: No scaling, fouling, or corrosion from water.
3. Simpler Installation: No need for cooling towers or water treatment systems.
4. Environmentally Friendly: No thermal discharge into water bodies.
Conclusion:
Air cooled condensers are best suited for dry climates, water-scarce regions, or where environmental regulations restrict water usage. However, they may be less efficient in very hot environments.
