The operating environment within a condenser is extremely harsh, and in spite of the designer’s best intentions, sometimes tubes made of the best materials fail. The most important tube failure ...

The steam surface condenser is an integral component at electric utilities and other facilities that generate power. It is also the point where highly pure condensate can potentially come in ...

We explore the most common tube material failure mechanisms and then illustrate how to perform a proper life-cycle analysis for that new set of condenser tubes your plant so desperately needs.

Steam condenser coating could save 460M tons of CO2 annually Date: August 22, 2023 Source: University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering Summary: If coal and natural gas power generation ...

Declining performance of a large compressor-driven steam turbine's surface condenser at Shell Chemical LP's petrochemical complex in Norco, La., was constraining an associated process unit to a ...

The steam engine may seem like a relic of the past. But without this game-changing invention, the modern world would be a much different place.

The 300-series in particular has commonly served as the materials for lower-temperature heat exchanger tubes, including for steam surface condensers.
