Intek is making it easier than ever to receive the help you need to optimize your condenser performance. At
MyCondenser.com you will find information and help on all aspects of condenser operations and maintenance.
Forums (Free with registration)
Private Forums provides plants with a portal for exchanging information with Intek. This is where you can submit data, ask plant specific questions, and receive answers. The Private Forums automatically stores all correspondence, which gives you one secure place to obtain the help you need.
Open Forums gives power plant personnel the opportunity to discuss anything and everything relating to condensers. From the bolts that hold the condenser together, to the services that keep it clean, to the equipment that helps it run more efficiently, the Open Forums is your single source for sharing condenser information.
Diagnostic Modules
Operating data obtained from RheoVac systems and our circulating water flow and fouling meters can be used with Diagnostic Modules on the web site to evaluate certain aspects of plant operation. For example, a unique benefit of RheoVac Systems is the ability to check air exhauster capacity. The Pump Capacity and Air In-Leak Threshold modules will provide subscribers with their expected capacity based on pump model number, pump operation parameters and vent gas properties. Additionally the program will provide, based on current operating conditions, the maximum expected air in-leakage value that the exhauster can handle before back pressure is significantly affected. Knowing the air in-leak threshold, plant personnel can then decide to troubleshoot pumps, find and fix specific leaks, or do nothing. This is an inexpensive option that can have a significant impact on condenser operations, performance, and maintenance efforts.
Condenser Process Improvement Assistance
Intek condenser services engineers provide basic condenser diagnostic assistance and performance review. Intek works with the plant to create a data template necessary for condenser analysis. The diagnostic tools and any reporting are provided on a secure website. Using the online diagnostics tool, you can submit technical questions on overall condenser operations, including, but not limited to, condensate chemistry, condenser performance, circulating water diagnostics and other issues.
Comprehensive Condenser Performance Analysis
A yearly condenser performance review, with a written report and quarterly updates. Includes evaluation of operating conditions, excess back pressure identification, and assessment of vacuum pump performance. Also includes root cause analysis of excess back pressure, excess DO, and upset conditions. With this service you receive a free yearly calibration check of the RheoVac sensors. Signing up for this service is like adding a team of knowledgeable engineers to your staff who will regularly review condenser performance, help with troubleshooting and make specific suggestions for obtaining best condenser performance.
