Abstract
Steam surface condenser is an important component in a power plant. It condenses the latent heat of the turbine exhaust steam. Therefore, the turbine efficiency is directly influenced by the performance of the steam surface condenser. This work is to develop a computer-aided condenser design software, written in Quick Basica language. This software can be run in a personal computer(PC/XT, PC/AT). The design methodology is based a method proposed by Heat Exchange Institute for Steam Surface Condensers[1]. This program has the following four functions: (1)Rating the condenser (2)Sizing the condenser (3) Calculating the cleanliness factor and (4) Determining the condenser absolute pressure. The features of this program are powerful interactive ability and high accuracy. Calculation results are available within seconds. The program has been checked against controlled performance test and operating data on installed steam surface condensers.
