← Previous | Next →

See Retrofit or Adjustment Factor Inputs for an explanation of retrofit costs. This screen is the same for all plant types. The air cooled condenser system has the following capital cost process areas:

•Condenser Structure: This area deals with the air cooled condenser (ACC) equipment including finned tube heat exchanger elements, fans and motors, ACC support structure, steam exhaust duct, piping and valves, air removal equipment and support for start-up, training, and testing. The erection and installation of the ACC at the site is also included in this area.

•Steam Duct Support: This area deals with steam duct support and column foundations.

•Electrical & Control Equipment: This area deals with fan, pump motor wiring and controls, etc.

•Auxiliary Cooling: This deals with separate fin-fan unit or others. Typically, it is 5% additional heat load.

•Clearing System: This area handles with cleaning finned tube surfaces. It is small but required at most sites.
