COMBINED CAPACITOR WITH AIR COOLING Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F28B1/06 

FIELD: the invention refers to cooling technique.

SUBSTANCE: the capacitor with air cooling has a air-steam exchanger (3) which has tubes ribbed from outside (2) for partial immediate condensation of steam (1) with outside air (4). The heat exchanger (3) is fed up with steam (1) from the upper distributing chamber (24) up to the lower chamber (25) in which not yet condensed steam (22) and condensate (8) are accumulated. The not yet condensed steam (22) in the air-steam heat exchanger (3) is condensed in the air-steam section of the capacitor with air cooling, in the space fulfilling the function of a mixing capacitor (9) with spraying water from the section (7) of water-air cooling of the capacitor with air cooling from where incondensable gases are also fed. The water (13) heated in the mixing capacitor (9) is cooled in the second time in the water-air heat exchanger (7).

EFFECT: increases safety of operation, controllability, reduces expenditures on creation of the installation.
