Ecolaire Condenser

Engineering and Manufacturing Expertise
Innovation and quality go into the design and manufacturing of each Ecolaire steam surface condenser during every step of the process from conceptual proposal to installation at jobsite. The result is a condenser specifically engineered to meet the needs of your application and built to perform at full efficiency through the entire life of the plant.

This bulletin outlines many of the factors that go into the engineering, design, fabrication, installation, and testing of Ecolaire condensers, all of which contribute to their worldwide reputation for efficient performance and long life. It describes the many special features available to meet diverse needs and to enhance reliability.

We start by designing each condenser on an individual basis, to meet the specifications for your system. Our engineering staff considers every element that will affect condenser efficiency over your specified plant operating range to offer you the best possible heat rate over the widest range.

Based on the system data you provide; we engineer a condenser to meet your specific site requirements. We design and build it to Heat Exchange Institute Standards, in addition to our own engineering standards, and we pay attention to detail. Service connections are designed for both static and dynamic reactions and to cope with potential erosion. We give the same attention to these connections as to the unit itself because we believe a service connection malfunction should never be the cause of a condenser being taken off-line.

Utility and Independent Power Producers
The Godrej Americas business has been producing Ecolaire condensers for power production since 1920 and to date has produced over 3,600 condensers. Those in operation have surfaces up to 1,400,000 square feet and serve plants up to 1300 MW. This extensive experience includes fossil-fueled installations with pressures up to 3,500 psig and nuclear installations on virtually every type of reactor system built. Godrej Americas commitment to excellence has resulted in pioneering the path of advancement in condenser technology. There are over 80 multi-pressure Ecolaire units in operation with up to six pressure levels. Double-effect hotwells are in operation recovering the auxiliary turbine steam heat content that would otherwise be lost to the cooling system. Close-spaced double tube sheets are protecting condensate systems from cooling water in-leakage at various installations. Steam dump systems with capacities to full steam generator flow are operating reliably.

Whatever your cycle or material requirements, you can rely on Godrej Americas to provide you with quality condensers that have a tradition of high availability and maintainability.

Geothermal
Geothermal surface condensers are unique in the power generating field. From the pioneering days of Geysers in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Godrej Americas has applied both its field and in-house test results to produce reliable designs in both surface and advanced direct contact condensers.

Whatever your cycle or material requirements, you can rely on Godrej Americas to provide you with quality condensers that have a tradition of high availability and maintainability.

To negate the effects of corrosive steam, geothermal condensers are typically constructed entirely of stainless steel.
