The resuking Test Code for Steam-Condensing Apparatus, ates passing through the preliminary stages inthe procedure prescribed by the Main committee, was printed in tentative form in the May 1924 issue of Mechanical Engineering and was presented to the Society for discussion at a public hearing held during the Spring Meeting in Cleveland in May 1924. At the December 1924 meeting of the PTC Supervisory Committee {now known as the Board on Performance Codes), it was approved in its final revised form and on October 5, 1925, it was approved and adopted by the Council asa standard practice of the Society. Early in 1933 Committee No. 12 decided to completely revise the Test Code for Steam- Condensing Apparatus. At the April 4, 1938, meeting of the PTC Supervisory commites, this second version of the Code was approved and on July 15, 1938, it superseded the Previous one and was adopted as a standard practice of the Society by the Council With the reorganization of PTC Committee No. 12 on Condensers, Feedwater Heaters, ‘and Deaerators in 1948, the main Power Test Codes Commitee requested that the Test Code for Steam-Condersing Apparatus be brought up to date. Ths third edition of the ‘Code was approved at the December 4, 1953, meeting of the Power Test Codes Committee ‘and adopted by the Council as a standard practice of the Society on March 9, 1954, In January 1970 the PTC Supervisory Committee requested the Test Code for Steam- ‘Condensing Apparatus be reviewed and updated. That fourth version of the Code was ‘approved by the Board on Performance Test Codes on May 12, 1981, and it became an ‘American National Standard in January 1983, ‘The Board on Performance Test Codes in 1988 directed the Code again be reviewed to be certain it reflected current engineering practices. A new Cade Commitiee was ‘organized in early 1989 containing members from a wide geographical area It comprised about equal numbers of manufacturing, user, and general interest members to ensure balanced committee actions. The 1989 Committee was organized into four Subcommit. tees — Guiding Principles, Test Procedures, instruments and Methods, and Computation of Results — to be sure each section of the Code revision would get attention, and the ‘work would be accomplished effectively Based on experience with the two previous versions of the Condenser Code, the reorga- nized Committee determined to make this Code modern, accurate, practical, useful, and cost effective, It also identified the objective of extending the Code to include performance ‘monitoring, because ofthe relatively lage effect of operating condensers on plant genera- tion and efficiency. ‘These ambitious 1989 goals translated into extensive revisions which triggered an almost complete rewrite. The major areas were revised and the revision rationale of this latest Code follow: ‘astruments: To take advantage of the recent significant advances inthe field, insteumen- tation recommendations were modernized, ‘Heat transfer: To enlarge the condenser test schedule “window” while maintaining accurate testresuls, the separate heat-transfer resistance method with the latest correlations was adopted. Implementation: To clarity the Code rules and produce a virtually self-contained docu ‘ment, techniques and instrumentation descriptions were written in an explicit and detailed ‘manner. aSTD-ASME PTC 12-2-ENGL 1598 MM 0759L70 Ob05009 354 mm Uncertainty determinations: To ensure proper applications of uncertainty analysis, all the particulars of this somewhat daunting estimate (a very important and now necessary aspect of every tat) are presented. ‘Data acquisition: To improve the condenser test effectiveness, computerized data acqui- sition for the testing and data reduction is suggested; however, the Code is writen so that, this approach is not necessary. CCleantiness testing: Yo be certain the condenser performance results are not predestined, 4 mandatory cleanliness testis now required by this Code. It is important o explain, ‘though, thatthe entire previous cleanliness test section was replaced with a net, pragmatic, fouling test procedure. Lastly, this expanded fifth edition ofthe Code was reitled Steam Surface Condensers. ‘his Code was approved by the PTC 12.2 Committee on January 20, 1996. it was then approved and adopted by the Council as a Standard practice ofthe Society by action of the BPTC on December 20, 1996, This Performance Test Code was also approved as an ‘American National Standard by the ANSI Board of Standards Review on February 20, 1998.

INTRODUCTION ‘This Code describes instruments, test procedures, ‘and methods of test data analysis to be used 10 determine and monitor the performance of steam- surface condensers. It provides explicit test proce- dures which will yield results of the highest level of accuracy consistent with the best current engineering practices and knowledge in this field. The Code is not intended to be used for tests of condensers ‘or heat exchange:s operating above atmospheric Dressure of aircooled condensers. To aid in an overall study of the Code, the following review sequences are suggested. 0.1.1 A quick survey of the Code can be obtained by reading the introductions to each Section followed by the Test Procedures Flow Charts and Test Plan Appendix, 0.1.2 At the plant design, contractual agreement, ‘or specification stage, itis advisable to review in order: (2) Achievable test uncertainty stated in Object and Scope; special test from Appendic A; (6) Test Plan and Flowchart; (4) Guiding Principles; Copyright by the American Society Of Mechanical Engineers Frieb 28 19:54:74 2003 () Test Procedures or alternatively the panicular (6) Instrumentation and Methods of Measurement to determine the hardware that must exist or be in- ‘Salled in the condenser to determine the recom- mended measurements. 0.1.3. Those interested in performance monitoring should review Appendix C, then the Test Plan and Flowchars before reviewing Code Section details. When this Code is to be used to determine fulfil ‘ment of contractual obligations, the contracting par- lies shall agree in advance on the test procedures, uncertainty estimates and implications, and methods of presentation of data and presentation of results. Considerable efforts were made to write this con- denser Code so that all the related technology was contained within the document itself; however, in all instances this was not possible. In these cases and unless otherwise specified, all references to other codes refer to ASME Performance Test Codes. Any terms not defined herein are listed in PTC 2 Definitions and Values.

When the condenser is part Cf a contract with cther major equipment ofthe plant ‘or when the condenser contract includes auxiliary equipment which can affect the condenser perform- ance, all parties must agree whether the testing is to be performed on each piece of equipment sepa- rately or on the system as a whole. \ each apparatus is tested separately, the observa- tion and test of each apparatus shall be conducted according to the applicable ASME Code or, if none ‘exists, a method must be agreed upon in advance Of the test. Wherever a special method of testing is used, that Is, any method not explicitly covered in the Code, it shall be agreed upon in advance of the test by all parties and shall be fully described in the test report {eis important to structure a specific test plan for all testing that is to take place. The plan. should follow the guidelines and recommendations given in this Section. In doing 0, inconsistencies associ- ated with test execution, communications, procedure adherence, and test schedule can be greatly dimin- ished. Appendix A contains several elements of a test plan i.e, flowchans and checkdis 3.2 TEST PLAN REQUIREMENTS 3.2.1 Test Plan Introduction. n an effort to have 2 mutual agreement between the testing parties, it is strongly recommended that a test plan be devel- ‘oped that will address all items of possible disagree ‘ment. In order to accomplish ths, a document should be writen to define this test plan and identify all designated parties having the responsibility to perform, witness, or approve any test deviation from this Code or any other mutually agreed-upon test plan or procedure. This document should also serve £5 a guide for those performing or interpreting the results of the specific test. It should include, but ‘not be limited to, the following sections, epyight by the American Society Of Mechanical Engineers FriPeb a 1s0' 2002 3.22 Specific Scope and Objective. The applica- tion of this Code will vary with location, environ ‘ment, equipment, and specific agreements made by the participants. A site-specific scope and objective should be agreed upon and incoporated as part of the test plan. This should include the designation ‘fa chiet-of test who will direct the test and exercise authority over all test personnel, This individual should have the required experience to conduct this type of test. 3.23 Operational Requirements. The test plan should include all specifications regarding the opera tional requirements forthe condenser and any ancil lary system that may affect its performance. A listing (of all values for the operational and performance parameters should be contained in this section in- cluding any specific operational changes necessary 10 perform the test. These can include specific cycle- isolation considerations and the verification of any items which can be considered deviations from the ‘Code, reasons for their occurrence, and any other item ‘which can possibly impact on the operation and performance ofthe condensing apparatus Reler to Table 3.1 for limits) 3.24 Test Acceptance Criteria. This section of the plan will include an explanation of the test accept- ance criteria and a description of how the results will be used in the evaluation of any contractual commitments or guarantees associated with the per- formance of the condenser. A pretest uncertainty analysis is highly recommended as part of this sec- tion. Any other items not mentioned or specifically identified as items of mutual agreement should be discussed in this section, 3.2.5 Instrumentation List. A list including all test Parameters, instruments used, expected accuracy, calibrations thereof, installation location, and antick pated values should be section. This wll help clarify any misunderstandings that can occur during the instrumentation selection process and serve as an ald for instrument diagnose {Refer to Appendix A for guidance)STD-ASME PTC 12.2-ENGL 1998 mm 0759670 OLOSO22 75) am ASME PTC 122-1990 TABLE 3, ALLOWABLE DEVIATIONS FROM Tesing Parameter Inlet water tempest STEAM SURFACE CONDENSERS Treat lad cooling fw 2% =, “efer Subsection 3.13, 3.2.6 Test Preparation Checklist. In order to help those administering witnessing, or responsible for the test, itis important that a checklist be constructed in which all test steps are depicted in a clear and chronological order. The list should have enough information to give the user an understanding of what is necessary to prepare, conduct, and organize the test. The amount of information should be care- fully selected since this section will not be used in substitution or enhancement of any other portion of the test plan.

How- ever, the acceptance test shall be conducted 2s soon 3s the desired test conditions are obtainable. Performance degradation that is not inherent to the design or the fabrication of the condenser should ‘be noted, such as normal wear, abnormal operation, Cr inadequate preservation procedures. 3.4 ALLOWABLE DEVIATIONS Testing shall be performed under conditions of constant inletwater temperature, heat load, and cooling-water flow within the limits specified in Table 3.1 Copyright by the American Society Of Mechanical Engineers FriFod 20 2003, 3.5.

I is important to verify that all aemoval equipment is functioning properly prior to the per. formance test. 3.9 TUBESIDE BLOCKAGE ‘The accumulation of debris on the inlet wbesheet is common in surface condensers and may even ‘occur where the cooling water is carefully screened, Such accumulation results in totally o- patially plugging some of the tubes, thereby reducing the active surface area of the condenser. it Is highly recommended that a visual inspection for tubesheet blockage be conducted before and after testing. 3:10 TUBESIDE FOULING ‘Condenser tubes shall be thoroughly cleaned just ior to the test. For the method of determining the ‘quantitative effect of tubeside fouling see Section 4. ‘he American Society Of Mechanical Engineers "2003 u 3.11 DISSOLVED OXYGEN 3.17.1 Makeup Water. The total water introduced into the condenser shel! ata temperature lower than the inlet steam temperature shall not be more than ‘5% of the steam being condensed for 14 g/t dis- solved oxygen concentration, or more than 3% for 7 ug/l distolved oxygen concentration.

The following items provide an overview of the four types of tests prescribed by this Code, including the general procedures which shall be followed in conducting a Codetype con- denser test, and the measurements requited for each test. Frequent reference is made to relevant Sections In this Code, particularty Section 4, There are four types of test described by this Code: (1) heat transfer test; (2) dissolved oxygen test, @) condensate sudcooling test and (4) condenser hydraulic pressure drop tes. Any or all of these tests may comprise a condenser test under this Code. ‘Other auxiliary tests, which are not considered 10 be a part of the Code test program but which Copyright by the American Society Of Mechanical Engineers Fei Fob 28 19:54:24 2003 O75%b70 ObOsoz3 S24 am ‘STEAM SURFACE CONDENSERS ‘may be useful for diagnostic purposes, are given in ‘Appendices F through 1 Before conducting a condenser test, careful consid- eration must be given to the specific areas covered in this Section. Prior to testing, the parties involved shall agree to: (a) a test plan as specified in Subsection 3.2; (b) the plant operating conditions, including plant load and cooling-water flow rate, which must be steady for the duration of the test (6) the necessary condenser isolations, per Subsec- tion 3.7. Ths is imporaant to assure that the condenser 's handling only the flow for which it was designed; (othe inlet cooling-water temperature at which thetest is tobe conducted, tis factor may limittesting to only certain times of the year; (e) other operating principles as specified in this Section; 9 the other types of instruments to be used, their locations, and the methods of measuring those instru- ‘ments. Acceptable instrumentation practices are cov- ered in Section 4. 3.16.2 Heat Transfer Test. The purpose of the heat transfer test is to determine the overall heat tansler coefficient (OHTO) of the condenser at test, design, guarantee, or other specified conditions; from the OHTC, the absolute pressure of the condenser at the design or other conditions can be established. Iwill usualy be impossible to conduct the tests at the exact conditions called for in the design, guaran- tee, oF other specified conditions Provided the deviations from nominal conditions are within the guidelines given in Table 3.1, a Code ‘condenser heat transfer test can still be performed. In this situation, the results from the test are corrected to design conditions using the procedures described in Section 5. These corrections determine the ability of the apparatus to condense the required amount ‘of steam and to maintain the nominal condenser pressure at design, guarantee, or other specified Conditions. For a Code test these corrections are required tobe properly applied and so certain paramn- ters shall be carefully measured. Determining any ‘wo of the three following conditions — cooling water flow, condenser temperature rise, and con- denser heat load — allows calculation of the third. ‘This would meet the requirements necessary to per form a complete heat balance on the apparatus and ultimately serve as the foundation for calculating an ‘OHTC The cowrections described in Section 5 are based (on a rational analysis of the governing heat transferSTD-ASME PTC 22-2-ENGL 1998 MM 0759670 DLOSO24 4L0 mm ‘STEAM SURFACE CONDENSERS mechanisms, using a log-mean temperature differ. fence (LMTD) approach to determine an overall heat ‘vanster coefficient, Consequently, the following ‘quantities must be measured forthe heat transfer test. 3.16.2.1 Condenser Shellside Pressure. The con- denser shellside pressure is typically the basis for the design or guarantee point. Condenser pressure Is therefore a key measurement. The shellside satura- tlon temperature, used in determination of the ‘OHTC, is determined from the condenser shellside pressure. Acceptable instrumentation for the mea- surement of condenser pressure is described in para 431. 3.16.2.2. Cooling-Water Intet and Outlet Tem- peratures. Inlet and outlet cooling-water tempera- tures are used to determine the OHTC of the con- denser. Since inlet cooling-water temperature Is also specified in the design or guarantee conditions for the condenser, itis important thatthe inlet cooling, ‘water temperature during the tests be within the [Guidelines specified in Subsections 3.3 and 3.13. Because outlet temperature stratification often oc- cours In condensers, particular attention must be paid to the determination of outlet temperature. Careful consideration of the requirements of para. 43.3 and the physical characteristics of the condenser installation should precede any decision on the best ‘means of measuring the outlet temperature, 3.16.2.3Cooling-Water Flow. The cooling. water flow is required for several phases of the analysis. Unless a turbine test per PTC 6 [4] 's performed ‘concurrently, measurement of the cooling. water flow Fale, together withthe inlet and outlet temperatures, is the preferted method of determining the heat load fon the condenser, which is required to determine the OHTC, Several methods for accurately determin. ing the cooling-water flow rate are given in para. 4.3.4. Choice of an appropriate method can only bbe made after considering both the requirements of the individual methods and the characteristics of the particular installation being tested. It is extremely important that an appropriate method of condenser cooling-water flow measure- ‘ment is chosen. The heat load may also be deter- mined by a full steam cycle energy balance, per formed in conjunction with a full turbine test as Copyright by the American Society Of Mochanical Enginoors.

(4) In this case, the cooling: ‘water flow rate is not required for the determination ‘of heat load, The cooling-water flow rate is also specified in the design or guarantee conditions, and must be held within the operational guidelines specified in Table 3.1 3.16.24 Condenser Fouling. The degree of foul. ing on the cooling-water side of the tubes (the fouling factor) must be determined to correct the measured results to design or guarantee conditions, ‘A method of determining the fouling factor based ‘on determination of the relative heat transfer coefi- cients of clean and as-found tube pairs distributed throughout the tube bundle is described in para. 43.12. 3.16.3 Dissolved Oxygen.

Satisfactory performance monitoring can be achieved without the stringent instument accuracy required for acceptance testing, That lack of necessity of ‘an absolute numerical level of test results is what distinguishes the monitoring test plan focus, set-up, and data from acceptance testing. Relative measure ‘ments and repeatability ae critical. the data prove to be repeatable during the same operating condi tions, correction factors to absolute performance levels can always be developed from an analysis of those data sets, The following discussion describes the considera~ tions of condenser performance monitoring tests. C2. PERFORMANCE MONITORING TEST STRUCTURE Performance monitoring can range from periodic to realtime onviine testing. Implementation of 3 performance monitoring program will vary signifi cantly between plants and will be based on local needs, economics, and resources including the con- denser performance, instrumentation methods, and methods of data collection and interpretation. ‘A decision which significantly characterizes. 2 condenser program is whether to monitor period ‘ally, continuously, or both. The major benefits of continuous condenser performance monitering are the knowledge of shen changes occur and what the related circumstances were in order 0 develop the earliest operational or maintenance response; the ability to anticipate if there will be moce severe ‘changes from the initial indications; and the continu- ous assessment of how the condenser influences ower generation and costs. Nonetheless, a compro Copyright by he American Society Of Mechanical Engineers Frifeb 28 19:54:36 2003 st mise may be considered which balances the one- time high capital costs and maintenance cost of the continuous systems permanent insrumentation ‘against the repetitive set-up costs and data collection of the periodic test. It should also be recognized ‘that more complex and reliable levels of performance ‘monitoring wil require increased quantities of instu- ‘mentation CA PARAMETERS TO MONITOR The following parameters are recommended for ‘monitoring in a general order of importance, though the actual list 1s always dictated by the overall program’s objectives.
