Abstract: Modular air cooled condenser apparatus and related methods are disclosed. An example mechanical draft modular air cooled condenser includes a first condenser bundle panel, a second condenser bundle panel, a third condenser bundle panel, and a fourth condenser bundle panel. The example condenser also includes a fan positioned to create a draft to flow over the first, second, third, and fourth condenser bundle panels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a V-shaped heat exchanger for condensing exhaust steam from a turbine. The V-shaped heat exchanger comprises primary, secondary and tertiary single-row condensing tubes placed in a V-shaped geometry. A steam supply manifold supplies the exhaust steam to lower ends of the primary tubes and steam that is not condensed in the primary tubes is collected at upper ends of the primary tubes and transported to the secondary tubes using top connecting manifolds. Steam that is not condensed in the secondary tubes is further transported to the tertiary tubes using a bottom connection manifold. The tertiary tubes are coupled at their ends with an evacuation manifold for evacuating non-condensable gases.

Abstract: Air-cooled condensers and air-cooled condenser streets for condensing exhaust steam from a turbine are disclosed. An example air-cooled condenser street includes one or more rows of V-shaped heat exchangers. Each row includes a main steam manifold to introduce exhaust steam into tube bundles that are placed in an inclined position such that condensate formed in the bundles flows back by gravitation to the main steam manifold. Top steam manifolds are connected to the upper end of respectively each of the tube bundles of the air-cooled condenser street. The series of parallel top steam manifolds are forming a support assembly for supporting one or more fan decks. The fan decks support a plurality of fans to induce an air draft in the V-shaped heat exchangers.
