Developments of ACCs in China
![Page 5: The 2 nd annual Air-Cooled Condenser User’s Group Meeting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815acb550346895dc89d21/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Outline The distribution of coal and water resources in China is asymmetric; coal-rich regions typically lack water and vice versa Because of its significant water-saving advantage, ACC is suitable for drought-prone regions in northern China. So the government of China required that all the new built coal power plants should be used ACCs in drought-prone regions after 2002 The use of ACCs has increased rapidly in China within the past five years
![Page 6: The 2 nd annual Air-Cooled Condenser User’s Group Meeting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815acb550346895dc89d21/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Development of ACCs The total capacity of ACCs was about 24,000MW by 2007
The percentage of ACCs was 4.3%(Total capacity of coal power plant was 554,000 MW)The number of constructing sub-critical ACC plants was 47, and the capacity was 46,000 MW (2008 ~ 2009)

Carbon Dioxide in ACCs
![Page 17: The 2 nd annual Air-Cooled Condenser User’s Group Meeting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815acb550346895dc89d21/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Analyzer method & Instrument
Because carbon dioxide in high pure water such as condensate is as low as μg/L(ppb) level , it is difficult to sample and determine.
Trace carbon dioxide analyzer(Sentry Co. ) can measure carbon dioxide in high pure water as low as ppb level on-line.
Advantages:
(1) convenient and quick testing process
(2) high accuracy, good repeatability and high sensitivity
Standard:
D 4519-94 ( Reapproved 2005 ) by ASTM
![Page 18: The 2 nd annual Air-Cooled Condenser User’s Group Meeting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815acb550346895dc89d21/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

This test method measures the electrical conductivity of high purity water through a cation exchanger in the hydrogen form, then through an electric reboiler. The effluent was boiled at atmospheric boiling water temperature after acidic (volatile) gas removal. subsequently, it was cooled at 25 . Passage through the cation resin replaces cations ℃(including ammonia and amines)in the water with hydrogen ions. Two conductivity cells located in the instrument provide measurements of the cation conductivity at the incoming sample temperature, and the effluent conductivity at 25 .℃In order to obtain the carbon dioxide, subtract the conductivity of pure water (0.055μS/cm) from the conductivity of the final effluent cell. Then deduct this value from the cation conductivity obtained from the cell immediately after the cation exchanger resin. Use this adjusted conductivity value to look up the concentration of volatiles expressed as a concentration of carbon dioxide in Table.

Determination of DO
DO in condense will make iron corroded in ACCs, so the limit DO concentration is 100ppb in China
The operational ACCs in condense often surpass the limit of 100ppb

the exhaust unit was installed out of the condensed water tank, make-up water is supply to external condensed water tank
The condensate tank was combined to the exhaust air cooling device. After through the nozzle, the makeup water goes to the throat of exhaust device. It can lead to an increase of the secondary removal of oxygen in returned condensate.

Case of Indirect ACCs
![Page 31: The 2 nd annual Air-Cooled Condenser User’s Group Meeting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815acb550346895dc89d21/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Yangcheng Power Plant is located in Shanxi province in China.
The first stage project are 6×350MW subcritical WCCs , which was completed at 1997.8.
The second stage project are 2×600MW subcritical indirect ACCs named SCAL, which began to construct at 2005.5.18 and completed at 2007.9.
Basic Information
The SCAL ACCs is produced by EGI company(Hungary), and it is more like the combination of Harmon’s no tower system and Heller’s cooling tower.
![Page 32: The 2 nd annual Air-Cooled Condenser User’s Group Meeting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815acb550346895dc89d21/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Features of SCAL indirect ACCs
Cooled water recycles closely during operation, no water consumption
High heat -exchange efficiency The corrosion rate of condenser can be controlled by
adjusting pH in recycled water in order to prolong service cycle time of condenser
Less power consumption The volume of air cooling tower is small Simple system, convenient operation and less capital
construction investment

Unit 7 & 8 of Yangcheng Power Plant are indirect ACCs. 3 sets of powdex are used for each CPP.
Powdex shows good filtration abillity for crud, but its desalination capacity is weak, so steam quality of the units didn’t reach the standard for most of running time.
In order to improve the steam quality, retrofitting of CPP was carried out. 2 high-speed mixed beds were added after powdex
The retrofitting has been successfully completed and put into operation in March 2009, and achieved desired results.

SiO2, organism, CO2 and other impurities in condensate couldn’t be removed after powdex. It is just depended on boiler blowdown. This is the main reason of high conductivity in steam.
