The Heat Exchange Institute (HEI) publication Standards for Steam Surface Condensers is the globally recognized industry "bible" for the design, sizing, and specification of steam surface condensers. Primarily used in power plants and large-scale industrial facilities, these standards ensure that condensers are built to handle the massive thermal loads of steam turbine exhaust.

The current version is the 12th Edition (published in 2017/2018), which updated several critical engineering formulas and material specifications to reflect modern technological shifts.

Key Content & Scope

The publication provides a comprehensive framework for both manufacturers and purchasers, covering:

  • Thermal Design: Precise formulas for calculating heat transfer rates, cleanliness factors, and the overall amount of surface area required to condense a specific volume of steam.
  • Performance Metrics: Detailed methods for predicting condenser backpressure, hydraulic loss (circulating water pressure drop), and condensate temperature depression.
  • Mechanical Construction: Standards for materials (such as titanium or stainless steel tubing), tube-to-tubesheet joints, and shell construction.
  • Venting & Vacuum: Requirements for air removal equipment capacities and the sizing of atmospheric relief devices.
  • Specialized Applications: Guidance on triple-pressure designs, nuclear power plant applications, and geothermal steam systems.
