While there is an industry-wide understanding that compromised condenser tubes reduce unit performance in the short term, the long-term effects of this neglect can be detrimental, forcing unplanned ...
In Part I of this two-part report we examined the various chemical forces at work in condenser tube leaks, the steam plant components placed at risk, and the suite of instrumentation most capable of ...
Part 1 of this series discussed the importance of steam condensation in conventional power units and the heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) of combined cycle plants. Condenser tube waterside ...
