TP24-15 Wind Effects on Air Cooled Condensers – Mitigating High Seasonal Winds Historical Publications

TP24-15 Wind Effects on Air Cooled Condensers – Mitigating High Seasonal Winds Historical PublicationsThe power industry has reported that under various wind conditions, the performance and mechanical reliability of an Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) is affected. Typical indicators of wind effects are increases in steam back pressure, loss of MW output and fan trips due to overload. Mechanical vibration leading up to fan blade failure has also been reported. We have worked with power plants around the world to investigate wind effects on ACCs and to
