  • Such an arrangement permits approximate equalization of the condensation in all tubes, although it does not equalize pressure in all the tubes.

  • the air flows generally cocurrently with the flow of vapor and condensate.
  • the tubes 12a, 14a, etc. are preferably arranged in what is known as a triangular pitch, that is, the tubes are staggered with respect to tubes 124 so that a combination of two tubes in any row, for example tubes of the row 12a with the nearest tube in the other row (140), forms a triangle.

  • the outer row of U-shaped tubes 20a, 20b terminates in condensate collecting manifold 24, and the inner U-shaped tubes 22a, 22b terminate in condensate collecting manifold 26. Condensate is drained from these manifolds by collector 36 and drainpipe 38.
  • Drainpipe 38 is preferably connected to a loop-seal construction (not shown).
  • the loop-seal results in the maintenance of a water level in the lower portion of the condensate manifolds I6, 18, 24 and 26. Uncondensed and uncondensiblc gases are trapped in the manifolds and are drawn through the after-condenser U-tubes 20 and 22 and the steam/air takeoff (as described below).

  • FIG. 1 the con densate is drained from collection manifolds 24 and 26 via collector 36 and drainpipe 38, together with the condensate from manifolds l6 and 18 while the uncondensed gases are removed via tubes 30 and 32 respectively, and outlet 34.

  • the tubes 20, 22 of the aftercondenser are situutcd so 3.1: to partially overlap the plane of the tubes 12, I4 of the main condensing sec tion.

  • FIGS. 36 depict another embodiment of the invention, in which the tubes of the after-condenser are located in the same plane as those of the main condenser.
  • the condensate collecting manil5 folds I6 and 18 are connected to auxiliary manifolds l7 and 19 respectively, to which are connected the upstream legs 22a, a, respectively of the U-tubes of the after-condenser.
  • the remaining aspects of this embodi ment are the same as those in FIGS. 1 and 2, and condensate and uncondensed gases may be removed from manifolds 24 and 26 by any of the means shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIGS. I and 3 depict only one pair of U-tubes in each of the main and after-condenser sections. In practice, however, each section will be comprised of numerous pairs of U-tubes, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • the tubes may be arranged horizontally, but are preferably sloped, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, to permit drainage of condensate by gravity.
  • a common factor in a design of equipment of this type is the necessity of preventing sub-cooling and consequent freezing of condensate in the tubes of the exchanger. Few of the designs devised to overcome or prevent this problem have proven suitable for use in extreme weather conditions, e.g., at low ambient temperatures, Nor are most designs sufficiently versatile for use in areas of the world in which the temperature may vary widely from season to season.
  • sub cooling of the condensate may be prevented, even at low ambient temperatures.
  • the invention is not limited, however, to use at such temperatures; it can be used in any situation in which vapor is to be condensed by indirect heat exchange with cooling air. In fact.
  • sub-cooling does not only occur at low ambient temperatures but may also take place at higher temperatures in operational situa tions in which the vapor flows at a low rate, and condensate accumulates in the tubes. Such may be the case, for example, with varying flow rates of vapor, such as may occur from a turbine or other equipment having variable usage or loading.
  • the danger of freezing or sub-cooling of condensate produced in the after-condenser sections of air-cooled heat exchangers is also a problem. This danger is particularly present if the after-condenser is cooled by a stream of air in a separate unit from the main condenser. as the flow rate of steam passing through the tubes of the after-condenser will be less than that of the main condenser since most of this steam has been condensed. Since the steam is now more diluted with air than in the main condenser, this diluted steam will be heat exchanged against compara tively cold cooling air.
  • the present design possesses safeguards against the freezing or sub-cooling of condensate in both the main and after condenser sections. Because of the cocurrent flow of air and steam, the danger of sub cooling the condensate in the downstream legs of the tubes 12b, 14b, b. and 22b is eliminated, since the air which is heat exchanged against the condensate (which is present in greater amounts in these sections than the corresponding upstream sections of the tubes) has been warmed by previous contact with hot steam. Similarly, though condensate may accumulate in the bottom of manifolds 16, 18, 24, and 26, there is no danger of subcooling here, since air passing over the manifolds has been sufficiently warmed by previous contact with the U-tubes.
  • An additional advantage of the construction of the present invention is that it permits substantial equalization of the condensation of vapor in the various tubes.
  • the greatest amount of condensation will take place in the row of tubes closest to the source of cooling air, since these tubes will be contacted by the air at its coldest temperature.
  • the condensation in U-tubes 12 and 14, for example will be approximately the same. This is because while the upstream leg 12a of the U-tube 12 is contacted by the coldest stream of air, the downstream leg of the same tube 12b, is contacted by the air which has been substantially warmed. while both legs 14a and 14b of the inner U-tube are contacted by air at intermediate temperatures.
  • both legs 14a and 14b of the inner U-tube are contacted by air at intermediate temperatures.
  • the U-tubes 20 and 22 of the after-condenser In the same fashion, the temperature of the air passing over each U-tube of each pair becomes substantially equalized.
  • an air-cooled heat exchanger for condensing vapors having a main condensing section comprising a first outer plurality of U-shaped tubes having upstream legs connected to a vapor inlet manifold and downstream legs connected to a first condensate manifold,
  • the improvement comprising an after-condensing section comprising third and fourth condensate manifolds, a second outer plurality of U-shaped tubes connected at one end to the second condensate manifold and at the other end to the third condensate manifold, a second inner plurality of U-shaped tubes having upstream legs connected to the first condensate manifold and downstream legs connected to the fourth manifold, the second inner plurality of U-shaped tubes being located within the space enclosed within the second outer plurality of U-shaped tubes, means for draining conden sate from the third and fourth condensate manifolds, means for condensate vapor from the second outer and inner pluralities of U-shaped tubes, the tubes being so disposed that the same air stream passes over the external surfaces of the tubes of
  • the means for removing uncondensed vapors from the second inner and outer pluralities of U-shaped tubes comprises a first substantially straight tube connected to the third condensate manifold and a second substantially straight tube connected to the fourth condensate manifold, said straight tubes overlaying and being substantially perpendicular to the U-shaped tubes and being so disposed as to be contacted by the air stream subsequent to its passing over the external surfaces of the U- shaped tubes.
