For more than 50 years we have engineered, commissioned, and delivered or retrofitted hundreds of condensers.
-
Performance & reliability
Patented tube bundle design and track record of outstanding performance.
-
Efficiency
Includes highly efficient tube bundles that meet the needs of any size power plant.
-
Robust design
Designed to handle turbine and steam generator overloads and variations in cooling water temperature.
Meeting specific requirements
Our condensers are designed for each specific installation, meeting high-performance requirements, enhancing reliability, adapting to varied site cooling conditions, and providing simplified construction with pre-assembled modules. They are resistant to both impingement erosion and tube vibration.
The condensers are delivered as fully tubed modules, so that little welding is required on site, they house the first two stages of low-pressure heaters for simplified arrangement of the turbine building.
The range of surface condenser types comprises rectangular and cylindrical design, in underslung and floor-mounted arrangement, applying single- and multi-pressure technology, both for PWR and BWR power plants.
