Condensers

Following the recommended maintenance plan for turbines extends service life and significantly improves reliability and efficiency. The scope of planned repairs depends on the operating hours of a turbine. Modernisation increases performance and reliability of stream turbines – and speeds up return on investment.

Condensers

Condensers are used for condensing of steam exiting the turbine exhaust and extraction of excess heat out of the thermal cycle. Low backpressure in condensers increase the overall efficiency of turbine enthalpy gradient. Condensers consist of tube bundles made of straight tubes, shell, water boxes and neck. Condenser designs are based on thermodynamic calculations, using Doosan Škoda Power’s custom made software and internationally recognized design standards. We are also able to perform steam flow and condensation simulations by using 3D CFD methods.
