Condenser Efficiency

This course is designed to teach participants how condenser performance can affect the efficiency of a generating unit. After completing this course, participants should be able to identify energy flows into and out of a condenser and know how these flows are related to the efficiency of the condenser and to unit heat rate. Participants should also be familiar with different methods of determining condenser efficiency, such as by checking parameters and indicators and using condenser performance curves and circulating water pump selection curves. In addition, participants learn how changes in condenser vacuum can affect unit heat rate and operating costs.
