The Condenser Monitoring System (CMS) integrates instrumentation that allows for a comprehensive examination of condenser performance. This unique package of instruments is specifically designed to provide direct identification of performance degradation mechanisms and additional data that exceed the requirements of instrumentation outlined in ASME PTC 12.2. What Are the Benefits? A complete system will provide data used to derive information for quantifying specific degradation mechanisms such as microfouling, macrofouling, cooling water flow, waterbox fill, air binding, low vacuum equipment capacity and condensate inundation. In essence, this system puts a microscope on your condensing heat exchanger and empowers engineers with direct measurements to identify issues outside of the normal function of condenser maintenance, enabling them to organize actionable effort. With this information, you can monitor and evaluate: Cooling water system changes Fouling control systems Waterbox eductors Vacuum equipment Operation of a new or refurbished condenser What comes with a Condenser Monitoring System? Recommendations for a Condenser Monitoring System will vary depending on the specific needs of the plant, but here are the typical instruments used in a CMS: RheoVac Air In-leak Monitors are installed in the individual vent lines and common vent line leading to the exhausters to provide air in-leak, venting equipment capacity, and other unique measurements indicative of the effectiveness of condenser design.
