Access at each side permits a track crane to pick up the load from the gantry. The gantry can also be transferred from stage to stage. Condensers Condenser sections are provided as open tube bundles with fixed tube sheet and bolted channel at each end. The channels are essentially tapered transition pieces flanged to serve as connecting nozzles. The bundles are carried in structural steel members and are supported from the evaporator floor. The tubes are linch in diameter, 18 B. W. G., and of aluminum brass material. Each stage contains about 318,000 sq. ft. With condensers connected end to end in parallel streams through the stages, the only internal piping is the short sections through each wall and the one area where the incoming recycle and outgoing heat reject waters are manifolded to the condenser rows. Brine Heaters Tubular surface for the brine heaters is divided into 9 units. This permits collection of brine from four condenser streams to each unit, and yet results in units of reasonable size. Design comparable to standard steam surface condensers is used. Tubing is the same as in the condensers except for length, which is selected to give a proper balance between velocity and surface. The bundles/are arranged for single pass flow. A sump in the bottom of each shell collects condensate for pumping and carries level controls.Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 2,678,873 byte
