AIR COOLED CONDENSER APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

An air cooled condenser (ACC) system is described having a first street having at least one air cooled condenser module and a second street having at least one air cooled condenser module. The system employs a steam inlet conduit provides steam to the first and second streets. The air cooled condenser system has a standard vacuum system for providing suction pressure to the first and second street. The air cooled condenser system also has an auxiliary vacuum system that provides suction pressure to the first and second streets.

1. An air cooled condenser system, comprising:
a first street having at least one air cooled condenser module; a second street having at least one air cooled condenser module; a steam inlet conduit comprising a first feed inlet in fluid communication said first street and a second feed inlet in fluid communication with said second street, wherein said steam inlet provides steam to said first and second streets; a first flow control valve positioned on said first inlet that controls the flow of steam to said first street; a second flow control valve positioned on said second inlet that controls the flow of steam to said second street; a first vacuum system for providing suction pressure to said first and second street, comprising:
a suction conduit connected to a pump;a first vacuum feed that extends from said suction conduit and is in fluid communication with said first street; a second vacuum feed that extends from said suction conduit and is in fluid communication with said second street; a first suction valve connected to said first vacuum feed that controls suction flow to said first street; and a second suction valve connected to said second vacuum feed that controls suction flow to said second street.
