Definitions

  • all secondary and “no primaries” shall refer to a large scale field erected air cooled industrial steam condensers in which all of the tube bundles receive steam from the bottom and collect condensate at the bottom, and deliver non-condensable gases out through the top.
  • primary tube bundles in a large scale field erected air-cooled industrial steam condenser receive steam at the top, deliver condensate at the bottom, and deliver non-condensable gases at the bottom to a separate, secondary condenser.
