Power station comprising a condenser installation for the condensation of water vapour

Abstract

The invention relates to a power station comprising a condenser installation ( 2 ) for the condensation of water vapour, said condenser installation being mounted on a supporting structure ( 8 ) and comprising heat exchanger elements ( 5 ) past which cooling air flows from below. The condenser installation ( 2 ) is arranged in such a way that a longitudinal side thereof is directly adjacent to a building structure of the power station ( 1 ). A turbine house ( 3 ) comprises at least one wind passage ( 6 ) through which cooling air flows and/or is sucked beneath the heat exchanger elements ( 5 ).

1 - 4 . (canceled) 
   
   
       5 . A power station with a condenser installation for condensing water vapor, comprising:
 a building structure with a tunnel-like wind passage, and   a condenser installation comprising a supporting structure and heat exchanger elements arranged on the supporting structure and exposed to a cooling air flow, wherein a longitudinal side of the condenser installation is arranged in immediate proximity to the building structure, and wherein the cooling air flows or is suctioned through the tunnel-like wind passage and impinges on the heat exchanger elements from below.   
   
   
       6 . The power station according to  claim 5 , further comprising a turbine house, with the wind passage extending through the turbine house. 
   
   
       7 . The power station according to  claim 5 , further comprising wind gates for varying a flow-through area of the wind passages. 
   
   
       8 . The power station according to  claim 7 , further comprising control means coupled to the wind gates, said control means controlling a flow-through area as a function of wind direction.
