Abstract
In a steam condenser erected on-floor, in which the steam is precipitated on pipes through which cooling water flows and which are combined into separate clusters (2), the pipes of a cluster, which are arranged in rows, enclosing a cavity (13), a cooler (14) for the non-condensable gases is arranged in the cavity. The component clusters (2) are aligned horizontally in their longitudinal extent and are arranged vertically above one another. The cooler (14) for the non-condensable gases has its suction effect directed towards a zone below the longitudinal center line of the individual cluster.
Claims3
Steam condenser for on-floor arrangement with a side inlet connected to a steam turbine, the steam being precipitated on pipes through which cooling water flows and which are combined into separate component clusters, and the pipes of a cluster, which are arranged in rows, enclosing a cavity in which a cooler for the non-condensable gases in arranged, wherein
- the component clusters are oriented horizontally in their longitudinal extent,
- a plurality of component clusters are vertically arranged above one another,
- and each cooler is constructed asymmetrically inside one of the component clusters, wherein an intake cross section of the cooler has a geometrical center below the longitudinal center line of the respective component cluster.
