Condensers & MODULES

Our condenser designs can incorporate enhanced deareation systems, and/or a variety of turbine exhaust options, which can assist in improving plant layouts. We continually address and refine these and other considerations associated with circular designs where space is at a premium. The surface condenser is a critical component in the operation of a steam power plant. Condenser failures can result in forced outages and loss of generation capacity. TEi condensers represent an evolution of advanced technology, offering improved thermal efficiency and advanced mechanical design to reduce forced outages and increase availability.

As the innovator in heat transfer technology, TEi provides exceptional modular changeout options for steam surface condensers. Modular changeouts are an efficient alternative to the conventional retube. Existing condensers can be refurbished, redesigned, and even upgraded to meet new performance demands and power requirements. Complete surface condenser retrofits are possible and can offer a multitude of benefits. A surface condenser is critical to the efficient operation of a power plant.

Operating costs can be reduced with TEi’s Gland Steam Condenser by optimizing turbine gland steam cooling/condensation. Skidded assembly of blowers, piping, and valves allows for easier installation and immediate service. Conforms to all international standards and meets stringent vibration, noise, and performance requirements.

TEi’s GT Fuel Gas Performance Heater Control packages are designed site-specific to provide heated gas at optimal temperatures for the GT operation. TEi’s packaged heaters are also designed to eliminate excess moisture that may otherwise condense in the gas turbine combustor.

PREHEATERS

Each feedwater heater can extract up to 30% of the turbine throttle steam and is designed to specific thermal conditions and manufactured for a singular purpose. The low pressure feedwater heaters play a key role in maintaining efficient, trouble-free operation of your generation facility and the vertical channel down (VCD) designs offer a small footprint, piping economics and simplified bundle access.

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

TEi has successfully supplied numerous optimized BOP and CCW designs for numerous fossil and nuclear power plants undergoing power up-rates and routinely provides solutions for power plants needing to improve efficiencies. With diverse high-quality applications, impressed current & galvanic anodic protection, elimination of potential cross-contamination of fluids, compact construction when designing for fluids with high thermal resistances and can be externally and internally applied, TEi’s mission-critical equipment helps ensure a stable, optimal operating temperature while reducing costs and dramatically improving efficiencies for our customers.

Provides a thermal bridge between systems, supporting heat transfer from closed-loop systems to ultimate heat sinks with reliability and control.

Cools turbine components for improved efficiency and extended equipment life during peak load and continuous operation.

The lube oil cooler is to manitain oil temperature of the turbine lube oil by utilizing cooling water through the tubes. TEi provides shell & tube TEMA type heat exchangers for this service.

Our Shell & Tube Rotor Air Cooler Kettle Boiler Heat Exchangers are used to cool gas turbine rotor cooling air in a Combined Cycle Power Plants. The rotor air heat is tranferred to the water on the shell side, which is converted to steam and piped into the HRSG. The recovery of waste heat produces a netr increase of the CCPP efficiency. The RACKB’s can be purchased with or without controls and instrumentation. Controls and Instrumentation options include, control valves, bypass lines, drain tank, Temperature and Pressure monitors/transmitters, heat tracing, PLC. Materials of construction include options for carbon steel, 304SS, 316 SS, Incoloy and Inconel.

Our shell and tube fuel gas performance heat exchangers are used to heat natural gas that is fed to the gas turbines. They can be purchased with or without controls and instrumentation. The options include control valves, bipass lines, drain tank, temperature and pressure monitors/ transmitters, heat tracing, PLC.

Advanced air-cooled heat exchangers tailored for turbine cooling duty. Our units precisely manage the heat removal from turbine bleed or extraction air streams under varying load conditions, supporting optimal cycle efficiency, thermal stability, and balance‐of‐plant integration.

Condenses steam from turbine glands to maintain vacuum integrity and improve condenser system efficiency.

Recovers waste heat from boiler blowdown processes, improving overall plant heat rate and reducing energy loss.
