  • Patent number: 8191256
    Abstract: Method for producing a heat exchanger with the following steps: a) hot dip refining a steel sheet to form a corrosion-protection layer (3), wherein the corrosion-protection layer (3) contains zinc and between 0.5% and 60% aluminum; b) removal of the corrosion-protection layer (3) from one side of the steel sheet; c) production of a heat exchanger tube (2) from this steel sheet, wherein the corrosion-protection layer (3) is arranged on the outside; d) provision of ribs (6) of aluminum or an aluminum alloy; e) provision of a flux; f) provision of a filler material (8) containing aluminum and silicon in the connecting region between the ribs (6) and the outside of the heat exchanger tube (2); g) connection of the heat exchanger tube (2) to the ribs (6) in a brazing operation.

  • Publication number: 20100132362
    Abstract: A condensation method is described according to which exhaust steam from a turbine (1) of a condensation power plant is supplied to an air-cooled condenser (3) for condensation. The condensate (K) obtained in the condenser (3) is preheated in a condensate heating stage (6) prior to its supply to an evaporator upstream of the turbine (1) by means of a feed pump. The condensate (K) is heated by a partial steam flow (T) of the turbine (1). A degasifier (8) is mounted in parallel to the condensate heating stage (6) for degasifying the makeup feed water (W).
