Air-cooled condenser

Abstract

An air-cooled condenser for the condensation of steam by means of air is described, said air-cooled condenser comprising a steam supply line, at least one upwardly directed pipe bundle, to which the steam to be condensed can be supplied, a condensate drain for the drainage of condensed steam and a fan for the air transport to the pipe bundle. The pipe bundle is arranged below the fan in a sidewall of the air-cooled condenser. Several pipe bundles are thereby arranged in such a way that they form a jacket in the form of a polygon extending in the plumb line, wherein said jacket is closed such that it forms an enclosure on all sides.

 a steam supply line;    at least one upwardly directed pipe bundle, to which the steam to be condensed can be supplied;    a condensate drain for the drainage of the condensed steam; and    a fan for the air transport to the pipe bundle, wherein the pipe bundle is arranged below the fan in a sidewall of the air-cooled condenser, and wherein several pipe bundles are arranged in such a way that they form a jacket in the form of a polygon extending in the plumb line, wherein said jacket is closed such that it forms an enclosure on all sides.    
   
   
       2 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the pipe bundle in a sidewall is inclined towards the plumb line in an angle range of ±30°.  
   
   
       3 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the steam to be condensed is guided using at least one riser duct to an upper distribution chamber and from there to the pipe bundles.  
   
   
       4 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the steam to be condensed is guided using at least one riser duct to an upper distribution chamber and from there to the pipe bundles.  
   
   
       5 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 3 , further comprising an independent riser duct for every pipe bundle.  
   
   
       6 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein an upwardly directed residual steam pipe for the condensation of residual steam is provided from a condensate collection chamber below one of the pipe bundles.  
   
   
       7 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 2 , wherein an upwardly directed residual steam pipe for the condensation of residual steam is provided from a condensate collection chamber below one of the pipe bundles.  
   
   
       8 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 3 , wherein an upwardly directed residual steam pipe for the condensation of residual steam is provided from a condensate collection chamber below one of the pipe bundles.  
   
   
       9 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 5 , wherein an upwardly directed residual steam pipe for the condensation of residual steam is provided from a condensate collection chamber below one of the pipe bundles.  
   
   
       10 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 6 , wherein a residual steam drain for the drainage of non-condensed residual steam is provided at the upper end of the residual steam pipe.  
   
   
       11 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the area outside the pipe bundle is hermetically sealed.  
   
   
       12 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the area outside the pipe bundle is hermetically sealed.  
   
   
       13 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 3 , wherein the area outside the pipe bundle is hermetically sealed.  
   
   
       14 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 5 , wherein the area outside the pipe bundle is hermetically sealed.  
   
   
       15 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 6 , wherein the area outside the pipe bundle is hermetically sealed.  
   
   
       16 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the fan is provided with a diffuser.  
   
   
       17 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the fan is provided with a diffuser.  
   
   
       18 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 3 , wherein the fan is provided with a diffuser.  
   
   
       19 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 5 , wherein the fan is provided with a diffuser.  
   
   
       20 . The air-cooled condenser according to  claim 6 , wherein the fan is provided with a diffuser.
