Abstract
An air-cooled condenser comprising a distributing chamber for distributing a vaporous medium to be condensed, a condensate collecting chamber and finned tubes with fins on air side, said finned tubes being connected in parallel between the distributing chamber and the condensate collecting chamber, where each of the finned tubes comprises two parallel essentially flat side walls and exterior closings connecting the side walls, in the finned tubes there are longitudinal separation walls connected to the side walls and dividing the inner space of the finned tubes into longitudinal parallel channels, and in the separation walls there are breakthroughs and closure elements for allowing the flow of the medium between neighboring channels.
Claims16
An air-cooled condenser comprising:
- a distributing chamber for distributing a vaporous medium to be condensed, a condensate collecting chamber and finned tubes with fins on air side, said finned tubes being connected in parallel manner between said distributing chamber and said condensate collecting chamber;
- and
- wherein each of said finned tubes comprises two substantially parallel side walls and exterior closings connecting said side walls, wherein there are longitudinal separation walls connected to said side walls and dividing an inner space of said finned tubes into longitudinal channels, and wherein at least one of said separation walls has thereon one or more breakthroughs for allowing the flow of said medium between neighboring channels, and wherein at least one of said channels is divided by a closure element formed within said channel, wherein there is at least one breakthrough formed in a separation wall near said closure element, wherein said condenser is divided into a main condenser portion for conducting said medium from said distributing chamber to said condensate collecting chamber, and an after-cooler portion for conducting said medium from said condensate collecting chamber towards said distributing chamber to an air extraction pipe.
