execution.
The condenser horizontal arrangement, purposely
studied for this geothermal application, is
composed by tube bundles obtained from carbon
steel round tube diameter 1 inch with aluminum
fins, mechanical bond of fins with core tube can
be achieved by embedded technology Gfin type,
tube sheet and header, welded type, in carbon
steel material, tube to tube sheet welded joint
type. The tube bundles are complete of side
frame and bracing supports in carbon steel
material hot dip galvanized surface protection.
The main purpose of the tube bundles is to
condense the vapour and collect the condensate
back to the condensate tank. All the equipments
were supplied in order to operate in a classified
area as per Atex standards. Given the harsh and
highly corrosive geothermal environment, Spig’s technology in a 56 cell installation and a 13.2 MW Fig. 4 - Spig air
