Weaning the world off fossil fuels will take some time, so finding ways to make energy generation more efficient is still important. Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have ...

In Part 1 of this series, we examined the importance of heat transfer in steam surface condensers, where waterside microbiological fouling and scale formation, or excess air in-leakage on the ...

Steam surface condensers are by no means one of the more “glamorous” pieces of power plant equipment. Keeping them running effectively, however, can result in substantial economic savings due to ...

Air-cooled condenser (ACC) systems have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional water-cooled solutions in power plants, particularly in regions where water scarcity or environmental concerns ...
