PLATE AND TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS - For a wide range of applications

To optimize the performance of a power plant based on the Rankine cycle, it is necessary to incorporate highly specialized equipment that supports the maximization of steam cycle efficiency, reduces primary energy consumption, minimizes environmental impact, and aids in optimizing the OPEX system, thereby enhancing the return on investment. The increasing competitiveness among electricity generation technologies and growing concerns regarding environmental issues compel all available technologies to improve their efficiency by reducing primary energy consumption. Most nuclear power plants rely on Rankine technology as well as combined cycle. Both share a common goal - optimizing the total electrical power by increasing the efficiency of the steam turbine. Such efficiency depends on the degree of vacuum achieved in the condensation section. A properly designed vacuum condenser affects the level of efficiency achieved.
