Other than having different pressures and temperatures, the condenser and evaporator are very similar. Condensers are usually a bit larger than the evaporator in order to handle not only the ...

In Part 1 of this series, we examined the importance of heat transfer in steam surface condensers, where waterside microbiological fouling and scale formation, or excess air in-leakage on the ...

Many power plants and other industrial facilities utilize open recirculating cooling systems equipped with cooling towers for heat transfer from condensers and other heat exchangers. Cooling towers ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass--Most of the world's electricity-producing power plants -- whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission -- make electricity by generating steam that turns a turbine. That ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a way of coating condenser surfaces in thermal power plants with a layer of graphene and found that this can improve the rate of heat transfer by a factor of four. In ...

(Nanowerk News) Most of the world’s electricity-producing power plants — whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission — make electricity by generating steam that turns a turbine. That ...
