Most power plants use some form of condenser performance-monitoring protocol. Some of those protocols are deficient because the proper instrumentation is not installed to collect the necessary data.
An integral process for utility steam generating systems, including the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of combined cycle power plants, is condensation of the turbine exhaust steam for return ...
Condensers are one part of the power plant where the technology is well defined and the benefits of keeping a clean condenser are easily determined. Condenser maintenance is a "pay me now or pay me ...
