  • Patent number: 11604030
    Abstract: An air-cooled condenser system for steam condensing applications in a power plant Rankine cycle includes an air cooled condenser having a plurality of interconnected modular cooling cells. Each cell comprises a frame-supported fan, inlet steam headers, outlet condensate headers, and tube bundle assemblies having extending between the headers. The tube bundle assemblies may be arranged in a V-shaped tube structure. A plurality of deflection limiter beams are arranged coplanar with the tube bundles. Top ends of each deflection limiter beam are slideably inserted in an associated floating end cap affixed to an upper tubesheet which moves vertically relative to the beams via thermal expansion/contraction concomitantly with the tubes. The deflection limiter beams provides guided restraint system for expansion/contraction of the tube bundles which prevents out of plane tube bowing.

    Abstract: An air duct sterilization system, and a device and method for producing the air duct sterilization system. The system includes a plurality of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs), arranged in a UV LED strip within an air duct, configured to destroy airborne biological contaminants in the air duct. The device includes wheel assemblies and an applicator assembly. During installation of the UV LED strip, the wheel assemblies contact a lower surface and an upper surface of an interior of the air duct, thereby enabling the device to roll along the interior of the air duct. The UV LED strip is applied to the upper surface of the interior of the air duct using the applicator assembly, with minimal effort needed from an individual performing the installation. After installation, the UV LEDs are illuminated as needed to destroy airborne biological contaminants, thereby sterilizing the air duct and air therein.
