Abstract
In a steam condenser which is set up in an on-floor arrangement and in which the steam is condensed on tubes through which cooling water flows and which are combined in separate banks, the tubes of a bank arranged in rows enclosing a hollow space, a cooler for the non-condensable gases is arranged in the hollow space. The sectional banks are horizontally directed in their longitudinal extent and are arranged vertically one above the other. The cooler for the non-condensable gases has its suction action directed toward a zone below the longitudinal center line of the individual bank. The hollow space is connected to a compensating lane in the interior of the bank, the longitudinal center line of which compensating lane, on account of the asymmetrical condensate loading in the horizontally oriented sectional bank and the asymmetrical localization of the pressure minimum in the tube assembly, runs below the longitudinal center line of the sectional banks.
