Respected New Jersey entrepreneur Ranga Nadig serves as the CEO of Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based Maarky Thermal Systems Inc. which power plants with a full array of heat transfer equipment, from feedwater exchangers to steam surface condensers.
The primary function of a water cooled steam surface condensers is to condense steam from the steam turbine. In addition the water cooled steam surface condenser is required to condense the bypass steam when the steam turbine is not service.
Bypass operation involves directing the high-temperature, high-pressure steam that is discharged from the heat recovery steam generator into a pressure reducing desuperheating valve. This valve is designed to decrease the steam’s pressure and temperature to a desired value. The bypass steam is then admitted to the water cooled steam surface condenser.
Reliable condenser function during bypass operation is of paramount importance. Reliable operation is ensured by maintaining the flow conditions of the bypass steam within a specified range. Additionally, careful positioning of bypass headers avoids any potential damage from impinging steam on tubes and other internals.
