which ASME PTC applies for air-cooled condenser
which ASME PTC applies for air-cooled condenser
(OP)
fellow gearheads,
which asme ptc applies for air-cooled condensors (ACC)?
- PTC-30 Air Cooled Heat Exchangers or
- PTC-12.2 Steam Surface Condensors
i hastily read through the Object paragraph of PTC-30 at site (do not have copy currently in hand) and did not notice any reference to air-cooled condensors. a search via google and i noted that there is development of a PTC for ACC. i've not been able to locate one, so i suppose ptc-30 is the appropriate test code?
please advise - Thanks!

RE: which ASME PTC applies for air-cooled condenser
Steam surface condensers condense steam from a steam turbine exhaust and exchange it to a liquid (typically water)
Your condenser, is probably fin-tubed has large fans and condenses steam and rejects heat to the air (they don't work very well in the summer time...)
Good background document:

I suggest that you talk with one of the major vendor's about performance testing and the applicability of the ASME Performance Test Codes..
