Steam Plant Surface Condenser Leakage Study Update

摘要

This report describes a study performed as a supplement to a previous Electric Power Research Institute study published in 1977. A survey was conducted of electric utilities to collect information about additional operating experience since the time of the earlier study and to investigate selected topics which were not covered at that time. The topics included in this report are: conden¬sers in cooling tower service, performance of titanium and AL-6X tubes, condenser drain collection system and impingement baffle experience, very small condenser water leaks, and air inleakage and deaeration in condensers.
