Capital Cost

← Previous | Next →

This is a standard capital cost result screen. It is shown for all plant types.

The air cooled condenser system has the following process area costs:

•Condenser Structure: This area deals with the cost of air cooled condenser (ACC) equipment, erection and installation of the air cooled condensers at the site. The cost of the ACC equipment is estimated as a function of initial temperature difference between inlet steam and air based on the cost data estimated by Electric Power Research Institute. The erection accounted for approximately 30% of the sum of the equipment and erection cost, which is equivalent to about 43% of the ACC equipment cost.

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

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

•Auxiliary Cooling: This deals with the cost of auxiliary cooling including a separate fin-fan unit or others.

•Clearing System: This deals with the cost of clearing finned tube surfaces.
