Optimized drive solutions for air cooled condensers
Air cooled condensers are used in power stations to condense waste steam after the steam turbine. The heat is dissipated to the ambient air by convection. This is a closed cooling circuit.
The steam circulates through a heat exchanger which is cooled by the air flowing round it. The accumulated condensate is collected and re-used in the power plant process. Flender gear units for air condensers are specially designed for condensing turbines in power plants.
The fan is directly mounted on the two-stage helical gear unit which absorbs the reactive forces of the rotor via a reinforced output bearing arrangement. Flender gear units for air condensers are optimized for both fixed and variable speeds and are characterized by high operational reliability.
