Keeping a power plant’s surface condenser in proper working order requires paying attention to balance-of-plant systems as well. Failure to monitor and maintain cooling towers and vacuum pumps in ...

Most power plants use some form of condenser performance-monitoring protocol. Some of those protocols are deficient because the proper instrumentation is not installed to collect the necessary data.

The steam surface condenser is an integral component at electric utilities and other facilities that generate power. It is also the point where highly pure condensate can potentially come in contact ...

Any time the internal piping or components of a refrigeration system are exposed to atmospheric air, they must be completely evacuated before refrigerant can be added into the system. Proper ...

In principle, industrial vacuum pumps are merely compressors run with the inlet attached to the vacuum system and the outlet open to exhaust. In smaller sizes, compressors and vacuum pumps are often ...
