Basic Operation of ACC
- ACC is a direct dry cooling system where the steam is condensed under vacuum inside air cooled finned tubes
- The major components of ACC include ducting (for transport of steam), finned tube heat exchanger, axial fans, motors, gear boxes, piping and tanks (to collect the condensate)
- The ambient air flows across finned tube heat exchanger using forced draft axial fan to condense the steam
- Collected condensate is recycled to utilities
The finned tube heat exchanger is the core component of the ACC and is available in following types:
- Single Row Condenser (SRC)
- Multi Row Condenser (MRC): We offer extruded type and knurled type fins for multi row condenser design
