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.

While there is an industry-wide understanding that compromised condenser tubes reduce unit performance in the short term, the long-term effects of this neglect can be detrimental, forcing unplanned ...

REPAIR OR REPLACE?: The age of the system, total cost of repair, and total cost of future repairs are just a few of the things contractors need to take into account when recommending whether to repair ...

The condenser is the most underrated component in an air conditioning or refrigeration system. Besides being a simple heat exchanger, the condenser has to desuperheat, condense, and subcool ...

Selecting the appropriate condenser for an evaporator system is a key decision as the glass condenser is a foundational component when acquiring a new rotary evaporator system. The diversity of glass ...

The steam condenser of a power plant boiler is a critical heat exchanger in the process. Poor performance due to restricted heat transfer can have a dramatic influence on unit efficiency. And, ...

I asked my neighbor who hoses off his air conditioner condenser every spring why he does it. “Because my dad always told me I had to,” he said. Conventional wisdom like what my neighbor’s dad imparted ...

Summer peaks are still with us, and every unit on your system must be prepared to operate at a moment’s notice. Spot power prices are so high that you expect phone calls asking for a few more ...

The air-conditioning condenser is a radiator positioned between the car’s grille and the engine-cooling radiator in which the gaseous refrigerant sheds heat and returns to a liquid state. The liquid ...
