Description

This Code provides test methods for conducting and reporting thermal performance characteristics of mechanical draft air-cooled steam condensers (ACC) operating under vacuum conditions.
Asme ptc 30.1 provides uniform test methods conducting reporting thermal performance characteristics mechanical draft air-cooled steam condensers (acc) operating vacuum conditions.  rules acceptance tests, along guidelines monitoring routine tests.  can used determine compliance contractual obligations; code incorporated agreements. obligations commercial agreements.  shall considered only procedures comply stipulated post-test uncertainty analysis results accordance subsection 1-3.  explicit measurement developed provide highest level accuracy consistent practical limitations testing.  departure requirements introduce additional beyond acceptable meet objectives code. offers determining referenced equipment regard flow capability meeting applicable fan power guarantees.  may alternatively expressed deviation design capability, turbine backpressure, absolute value backpressure.  also assessing specified dissolved oxygen condensate temperature, although not address noise. intended tests devices process fluid atmospheric pressure, fluids steam, single-phase fluids, wet surface air cooled condensers, natural fan-assisted inlet conditioning in-service. careful application will lead standardized performance-testing conducted regular basis facilitate purchase agreements among parties. engaged contracting within electric-utility plants, industrial plants installations, including:  systems engineers, instrument plant manufacturers, a/e firms, third-party testing agencies. click printer-friendly version description.
