With reference now to Figure 20, illustrate triangular pieces 160.As shown in the figure, each triangular pieces 160 by two independently heat-exchange tube tread assembly 30 form, each heat-exchange tube tread assembly 30 has a series of finned tube.It is long that this independently manages about two (2) rice, and the length of tube bank is approximately ten two (12) rice.As illustrated, each tube bundle assembly 30 is each other with the triangular pieces 160 that an angle orientation constructs to form A type.Although tube bundle assembly 30 can with the angle orientation of any expectation, it preferably departs from about 60 degree of horizontal direction (60 °) locate to the angle of approximately seventy degrees (70 °) to depart from vertical direction about twenty degrees (20 °) to about thirty degrees (30 °).More particularly, tube bundle assembly 30 is located to depart from vertical direction 26 degree (26 °) and to depart from horizontal direction 64 degree (64 °).
Each tube bundle assembly 30 is assembled before shipment, and wherein each tube bundle assembly 30 includes the vertical tube to collector transition piece 202, steam manifold 204, finned tube 206 and steam condensate collector 200.As seen from Figure 17, due to modular design and the orientation of tube bundle assembly 30, air-cooled condenser design 10 has the pipe compared with modular design more than about five (5) times.Further, embodiments of the invention not only use the pipe of five (5) times, and are used in condenser tube shorter in length.Due to above-mentioned design and orientation, the speed through the steam of tube bundle assembly 30 reduces owing to increasing with the pipe quantity that length of tube reduces to be associated, and because this reducing the steam drop in triangular pieces 160, makes air-cooled condenser 10 more efficient.
Typically, the turbine back pressure of air-cooled condenser etc. limits (to limit erosion) by the maximum vapor (steam) velocity in pipe, and wherein vapor (steam) velocity increases along with the reduction of back pressure (due to steam proportion).So due to adding of pipe according to the present invention, so steam still remains on maximum admissible vapor (steam) velocity, and back pressure is lower.Another restriction that existing triangular pieces design causes is that the pressure in the exit of auxiliary tube tread assembly can not be lower than the ability of vacuum pump set.The pressure drop that this pressure is deducted in conduit by turbine back pressure usually deducts the pressure drop in pipe and draws.Therefore, because in pipe, pressure drop reduces, so lower according to the admissible turbine back pressure of the design of triangular pieces 160.
In addition, the design of above-mentioned tube bundle assembly also reduces the pressure drop in single triangular pieces 160.Such as, heat exchange coefficient is depended in the heat exchange occurred via triangular pieces 160, namely depends on the MTD between air and steam and exchange surface.Because pressure drop reduces, so higher according to the average pressure (mean value between inlet pressure and outlet pressure) in interchanger of the design of existing condenser arrangement 12 as previously mentioned.In other words, because steam is saturated, so average steam temperature is also higher for identical heat exchange surface, heat exchange is caused to increase.
Referring now to Figure 21, illustrate the delivery container being labeled as 210 in general manner.As its name implies, delivery container 210 is for being transported to job site by tube bundle assembly 30 from factory.As illustrated, condenser tube tread assembly 30 manufactures in factory and is assembled with corresponding steam manifold 204 and steam condensate collector 200.In delivery container, located five (5) individual tube bundle assemblies although illustrate, each container can optionally or demand and load and transport more or less independent tube bundle assembly.
Alternately, the tube bundle assembly that the above embodiment of the present invention manufactures and assembles before being used in shipment, it has steam manifold 204 and steam condensate collector 200, and the tube bundle assembly of alternate embodiment can not comprise manifold before shipment.More particularly, in such embodiments, tube bundle assembly can not have attachment steam manifold 204 thereon and load and transport.In the described embodiment, tube bundle assembly 30 can be assembled to form A type structure as described above at the scene.But substituting as use two steam manifold, this alternate embodiment can use single steam manifold, and wherein single steam manifold extends along " summit " that A constructs.
Referring now to Figure 22, show flow chart, schematically describe the number of assembling steps of Air flow condensing tower 12.As previously mentioned, before being shipped to job site, independent tube bundle assembly 30 is assembled, as shown in Reference numeral 212.Each independent tube bundle assembly 30 includes multiple finned tube 206 and steam manifold 204 and steam condensate collector 200.As above in conjunction with described by description and accompanying drawing before, as Reference numeral 42 identifies, before being placed in carrying containers 210 by independent tube bundle assembly 30, manufacture tube bundle assembly 30 in advance in factory.Then carrying containers 210 is transported to the on-the-spot place of erection.
Then, as Reference numeral 216 and Reference numeral 218 identify, the general triangular pieces represented by 160 of assembling at the scene.As previously mentioned, although tube bundle assembly can with any desired angle orientation, preferably it is departed from about 60 degree of horizontal direction (60 °) locate to the angle (x) of approximately seventy degrees (70 °) to depart from vertical direction about twenty degrees (20 °) to the angle (y) of about thirty degrees (30 °).More particularly, tube bundle assembly departs from vertical direction 26 degree (26 °) and departs from horizontal direction 64 degree (64 °) location.As indicated by reference numeral 220, single A type triangular pieces is illustrated as 160, and it forms " A " type by two tube bundle assemblies 30 and constructs.In this configuration, tube bundle assembly 30 self-sustained each other.
