## Abstract

An air cooled condenser fan deck subassembly system and method including eight subassembly parts which are pre-assembled prior to arrival at the final assembly location. The eight subassembly parts include four inner subassembly parts and four outer subassembly parts, each of which are sized to fit in a standard sea container. Once the eight fan deck subassembly parts are delivered to the site, they are unloaded and bolded together, resulting in significant time and cost savings to the purchaser and erector.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An air cooled condenser fan deck subassembly system comprising:
a maximum of twelve pre-assembled subassembly parts, each of which is dimensioned to fit into a standard sea shipping container.
