Parallel Condensing Wet/Dry Systems (PAC® SYSTEM)

GEA's PAC® SYSTEM  is the successful combination of two proven subsystems, operating in parallel to share the heat rejection duty, while reducing water consumption to match the specific amount available for cooling. Exhaust steam coming off a steam turbine generator is immediately separated into two streams. One stream flows into a surface condenser while the other is directed to an air cooled condenser.

Condensate recovered in the surface condenser and the air cooled condenser can be collected in a common hotwell. The steam distribution between the two units is controlled without any requirement for valves or dampers. Water consumption is controlled by the distribution of heat load between the two condensers.
