Summary
-
1.
When waste steam at a pressure of Pabs=3 kg/cm2, which cannot be used, has to be cooled so that the condensate can be returned to a thermal power station or boiler, it is preferable to use air cooling by means of standard fan coolers, working with atmospheric air, supplied by an axial fan.
-
2.
Compared with the widely used method of cooling in heat exchangers, the use of air cooling in fan coolers gives a considerable saving in operating costs.
-
3.
Air cooling by means of standard fan coolers can also be employed for the cooling or condensation of light petroleum products.
