Over time, condenser coils often become plugged or fouled with dirt, grease, weeds, cottonwood fuzz, or simply layers of dust. These conditions will cause poor airflow through the condenser, which ...

This column focuses on condenser splitting. But first, here’s a quick review of condenser flooding before covering condenser splitting to help all better understand both concepts and their advantages ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...

Most power plants use some form of condenser performance-monitoring protocol. Some of those protocols are deficient because the proper instrumentation is not installed to collect the necessary data.
