Abstract
Condenser for a gaseous media such as steam, comprising a plurality of longitudinal tubes, generally several thousands, through which a coolant passes. Steam is passed around these tubes, and the tubes are braced at selected locations in longitudinal direction by means of brace plates or the like, and the steam is passed from the periphery of the heat exchanger and toward the interior thereof during condensaton. The condenser comprises a casing or shell and one or more nests of tubes and means for circulating steam around the entire or greater part of the periphery, and within each tube nest, an air-cooler device is placed centrally or substantially centrally, which air-cooler extends along the entire length of the tube nest. The brace plates are provided with flow channels effective to distribute the gaseous media about the condenser in response to fluctuation in condensing capacity along the tube nests.
