Air Cooled Condensers directly condense exhaust steam from the steam turbine and return condensate to the boiler without water loss.

Each module contains a number of fin tube bundles. An axial flow, forced-draft fan located in each module forces the cooling air across the heat exchange area of the fin tubes.
