Abstract: The ACC technology, which has solved the contradiction between power development
and limited water resources by means of the excellent performance of water saving, has become
the best option of a large power plant in the areas rich in coal and scanty in water. In the past ten
years, China has built a number of 300MW, 600MW level of air cooling units. This paper
focuses on the summary of the development process of direct ACC in China.
Key words: Direct ACC Development
1. Summary
The ACC technology, which becomes the best option of a large capacity plant in the coalrichness and water shortage area, resolves the contradiction effectively between power
development and scarce water resources at its superior water saving performance. In the past ten
years, our country has built a number of 300MW, 600MW air cooling units in the north of water
shortage areas , and the capacity is more and more. Especially the operation of 1000MW direct
air cooling unit becomes a landmark in China's air cooling technology development. It has
accumulated a lot of valuable experience for the development of large air cooling units in China.
2. Development and capacity of direct ACC units in China
The direct air cooling technology of our country's power plant was started in the 60's,and the test
of the direct air cooling system was carried out in the 50 kW unit of Harbin Institute of
Technology in 1966. The industrial direct air cooling system was carried out directly in the 1.5MW unit of Houma Shanxi power plant in 1967. The actual operation in the industrial was in
2000, and its expansion of the application has been rapid since that time.
Our own design, manufacturing and installation of the first 6 MW direct air cooling unit, which
was in power plant owned by Shanxi Jiaocheng Yiwang factory ,was built and put into operation
in September 2001.

It could be seen from the above chart that China's direct air cooling units of power plant
construction reached a peak in 2009. The direct air cooling units which had been put into
operation gradually exposed some problems at that time: such as high operating backpressure in
summer, weakness of anti wind capability. And at the same time, the domestic steam coal price
was at a high point, see the figures as below:

Therefore, the indirect air cooling unit whose operating cost is relatively low, and the units with
stronger wind-resistance capability have gradually developed in China.
3. Operating conditions of direct air cooling units in China
The more than 300 MW of the direct air cooling power plants in production and construction
were 157 units until the end of 2014. There were 114 power plants in total which were put intooperation, and more than 600 MW were 51 power plants. According to the electrical assembly
unit benchmarking report, above 600 MW capacity air cooling units coal consumption, power

5.Main Equipments of ACC
5.1 Direct air cooling steam turbineThe direct air cooling steam turbine is developed on the basis of wet steam turbine. Air cooling
steam turbine focus economy under the low pressure (high load capacity) and safety and
reliability under high pressure and minimum volume flow rate. The former allows but not
economic; the latter is not allowed to appear. Main reasons as follows:
(1)The operating conditions changes frequently with the ambient air temperature.
(2)The high pressure can easily happen under different loads in the actual operation.
(3)Abnormal situation such as load shedding under the highest summer temperature, and
some damaged air cooling fans. At this time, maximum backpressure can reach up to
75kPa-85kPa under the condition of the highest temperature plus 100% shedding load bypass
and damaged fans. The breakers will definitely stop because of blower overheat.
The domestic main steam turbine manufacturers have specialized in developing the respectivecharacteristics of the air cooling steam turbines:

Air Cooled Condenser Design
Last major design change in direct-cooledACCs was in 1991: single-row finned tubes
Changes since that time have been relative minor:
tube coating / fin spacing
investigating electric vs geared fan power
wind considerations shields, siting etc.
fan blade material / variable speed motors
fast starting capability
control & freeze protection strategies
construction efficiency to lower labor cost
enhanced controls
performance improvement with available water
Air Cooled Condenser Design
Indirect-cooled ACCs have not seen widespread useworldwide, but have some favorable characteristics
lower energy requirements
easier to design limited water cooling support
uncertainties about materials (aluminum heatexchange tubing)
can be retrofitted to an existing wet-cooled plantmuch easier than with a direct-cooled ACC
Air Cooling Alternatives
Research is ongoing into various alternative dry coolingtechnologies, but none has reached full-scaleimplementation at this point

Distribution of Air-Cooled Condensersfor Power Generation: Asia
Increasing installation of direct-cooled ACCs,including India, Bangladesh, Indonesia,Vietnam, Pakistan, Taiwan, Japan, China,Russia
China: more than 100 ACCs and increasingrapidly. Many are direct-cooled, more recentemphasis on indirect-cooled due to powersavings; virtually all are on coal-fired units.
Distribution of Air-Cooled Condensersfor Power Generation: China
~ 1,430 GW of total power generation: ~10%use ACCs, approaching half of thermal powergeneration in rapidly-growing sector
Distribution of Air-Cooled Condensersfor Power Generation: Australia
Several ACCs, coal-fired and combined cycleapplications
Conclusions
Dry Cooling is an important technology forthermal power generation that is increasing inits application. It is anticipated that bothdirect and indirect dry cooling will continue to
be major options for new plant construction inthe next few decades, with hybrid coolinginstallations, including retrofits, also likely toincrease.

Corrosion/FAC in ACC and The Consequences
High concentrations of iron around the cycle
- Boiler/HRSG deposits (expensive ch emical cleaning)
- Boiler/HRSG Tube Failures (overheating and TF)
- Steam Turbine Deposits (including aluminum)
Need for Iron Removal Processes
- Condensate Polishing and/or Filters Limitations around the cycle
- Condensate polishing (may have to change mode)
Overall an ACC controls the unit cycle chemistry
- International Guidelines now available for ACC
and two-phase flow (IAPWS Volatile Guid ance 2015)
There is an ACC Corrosion

DHACI for Tube Inlets
1. Tube entries in relatively good sh ape (maybe some
dark deposited areas)
2. Various black/grey deposits on tube entries as well as
flash rust areas, but no whi te bare metal areas
3. Few white bare metal areas on a number of tube
entries. Some black areas of deposit
4. Serious white bare metal areas on/at numerous tube
entries. Lots of bl ack areas of deposition adjacent to
whi te areas
5. Most serious. Holes in the tubing or welding. Obviouscorrosion o n many tube entries
Dooley & How ell et al, PPChem 2009
Examples included on later slides
DHACI for Low er Ducts
A. Duc ting shows no general signs of tw o-phase damage
B. Minor white areas on generally grey ducting. Maybe
some tiger striping with darker grey/black areas of
two-phase damage
C. Serious whi te bare metal areas in the hot box and at
numerous changes of direction (eg. at intersections o f
exhaust duct ing to vertical riser). White areas are
obvious regions of lost metal.

Thoughts on corrosion in air-cooled condensersBased on work conducted in Australia, Chile, China, Dubai, India, Ireland, Mexico,
Qatar, South Africa, UK and US
Increasing condensate pH to 9.8 will graduallyeliminate the FAC damage at the tubeentries and iron levels will reduce to IAPWSsuggested levels (5 - 10 ppb). Documentedby reducing the DHACI
Damage on cross members is not repaired
as quickly by increasing pH. Is this LDIcaused by the larger droplets leaving thePTZ of the LP Steam Turbine?
Copyright Struct ural Integrity Associates, Inc. 2015
Summary
Some aspects r elate to (LT Two-phase) FAC Adjacent black and white areas in severe turbulent areas
Increasing local pH reduces damage
But some aspects dont (normal FAC scalloped appearance andwhite areas on cross members is probably LDI)
Environment is known and has been measured Two-phase mixture formed in PTZ of the steam turbine
Concentrating liquids (Higher in chloride/sulphate, organics )
Lower in pH (0.5) and very low in dissolved oxygen (close to zero)
Repaired two-phase FAC areas turn red slowly Mechanism in ACC is thus not totally understood & what are amines doing?
Results from a number of pl ants indicate increased Al
levels in turbine and drum deposits- This may result from initial operation

Abstract: Huadian Ningxia Lingwu Power Generation Co., Ltd. No.3 and No.4 Units
(21,060MW) are the first 1,000MW class air-cooled ultra super critical power plants in
the world. In air-cooled power plants, because the temperature of condensate is very
high, mixed bed resin for condensate polishing (CP) requires high durability. For this
requirement, high-crosslinked gel type cation exchange resin (CSK40) and porous type
anion exchange resin (CPA12) were applied to CP in Huadian Ningxia Lingwu Power
Generation Co., Ltd. No.3 and No.4 Units. The resins used in these power plants had
still maintained high quality and performance after 3 years operation. Additionally, in
the lab scale evaluation, CSK40 showed high oxidation resistant ability (durability),
and CPA12 indicated superior PSS (Polystyrene sulfonate) adsorption capability which
relates to the property of anti-organic-fouling. These results show the combination of
CSK40 and CPA12 has high durability as mixed bed resins for CP. Therefore it is
considered that this type of resin combination has high conformity to CP of air-cooled
power plants in which the condensate temperature is very high and operating
conditions are very sever for resins.

1. Introduction
In some areas of inland China, the water resource is insufficient. Air-cooled typecoal-fired power plants with high water saving effect are suitable for such areas, and
the introduction of air-cooled type plants is actually progressing. In air-cooled type
power generation units, air is used as a coolant of condensers. Therefore air-cooled type
units can save the consumption of water by about 70% as compared with water-cooled
type units. However, in air-cooled type units, because the cooling effect of condensers is
lower than that of water-cooled type, the temperature of condensate is relatively high
and exceeds 60 in summer, and sometimes may reach about 80. [1.] Therefore, it can
be said that conditions are very severe for ion exchange resins used in the condensate

polishing (CP) system of air-cooled type power units.
In regards to the CP system of air-cooled type units, precoat filter of mixed powder
resins have mainly been adopted to cope with such severe conditions in the past.[1.],[2.],[3.]
With increases in the scale of power generation units, the required level of water quality
will enhance and the importance of ion exchange resins for CP will also be higher and
higher. Application of precoat filter of powder resins + mixed bed or precoat filter of
powder resins + cation bed + anion bed as a CP system is recommended to the
large-scale supercritical air-cooled power units.[3.]
Huadian Ningxia Lingwu Power Station No.3 and No.4 units (21,060MW) are the
first 1,000MW class air-cooled ultra-supercritical power units in the world, which have
precoat filter of powder resins + mixed bed as their CP system. With regard to mixed
bed resins for CP of air-cooled power units, because the temperature of condensate is
very high, good durability is required as well as high water-treatment ability. In these
No.3 and No.4 units, high-crosslinked gel type cation exchange resin with good
durability and porous type anion exchange resin, which has a property of anti-organic
contamination (fouling), were applied and showed good quality and performance after
15, 25 and 34 months of operation.[4.],[5.],[6.]This report will introduce the time course of
the quality and performance of these CP resins during 34 months of operation again and
also present the consideration about their applicability to CP of air-cooled power units.
2. Operation situation of Linwu Power Station No.3 and No.4 units
The startup time of Linwu Power Station No.3 and No.4 units is in January and April
of 2011, respectively. Concerning the CP system, there are four mixed bed vessels per
one unit, and the two units share one set of resin regeneration equipment. The mixed
bed of CP is basically operated as H-OH form. The temperature of condensate is:
55-60 in winter (from November to April), 65-75 in summer (from May to October).
3. Ion exchange resin to be applied
In air-cooled power units, since condensate temperature is very high and the
operation condition of CP is severe to ion exchange resin, the combination of CSK40 and
CPA12 was applied, which has good durability and high water-treatment ability. CSK40
is high-crosslinked (14%) gel type cation exchange resin with high oxidation-resistance
and less leachables. CPA12 is porous type anion exchange resin with property of
anti-organic contamination (fouling). This kind of resin combination has been applied
-60-

in CP of PWR type nuclear power plants in Japan and high water quality has been
achieved.
4. Resin samples for evaluation
The new resins and the resins taken from the plant were used as samples for
evaluation. The sampling was carried out 4 times at the timing after 10, 15, 25 and 34
months of operation.
5. Evaluation items
The evaluation items are as follows:
- Ion exchange capacity
- Water content
- Particle size
- Uniformity coefficient
- Whole bead count
- Appearance
- Sphericity after osmotic-attrition (Mechanical strength)
- Eluting rate of PSS with high-M.W. (Cation resin)
(PSS: polystyrene sulfonic acid)
- Oxidation elution test (Cation resin)
- Mass transfer coefficient (MTC) (Anion resin)
- PSS adsorption capacity (Anion resin)
Eluting rate of PSS with high molecular weight (M.W.) (= PSS eluting rate) is an
index for checking and comparing the degree of the oxidative degradation of cation resin,
and its value increases with an increase in oxidation degree. The measurement method
is as follows: put a certain amount of pre-treated cation resin into a certain amount ofpure water, and incubate it at 80 with shaking for 20 hours. Then, measure the
amount of PSS elution in the water phase by measuring absorbance (A225nm) and the
ratio of high-M.W. PSS (M.W. 3,000) by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Using
these values, calculate the value of eluting rate of PSS with high-M.W. (mg/L-Rh).
Oxidation elution test is done to check the oxidation resistant ability (durability) of
cation resins. Cation resins with high oxidation resistance show less leachables (= low
TOC) and low high-M.W. PSS ratio. The measurement method of oxidation eluting
test is: put a certain amount of cation resin with iron-loaded (2g-Fe/L-R) into a certain
-61-
-
7/26/2019 001b Complete IACCC Proceedings
62/565
amount of hydrogen peroxide solution, and incubate it at 40 with shaking for 24
hours (= oxidation treatment). Then, put the oxidized resin into a certain amount of
pure water, and incubate it at 40
with shaking for 24 hours. After that, measure theTOC conc. and high-M.W. PSS ratio (M.W. 3,000, by GPC) in the water phase.
Mass transfer coefficient (MTC) and PSS adsorption capacity are the indexes for
checking and compering the degree of surface contamination (organic fouling) of anion
resin. PSS adsorption capacity can also show the anti-organic fouling property.
The measurement method of mass transfer coefficient is: put a certain amount of
pre-treated anion resin into a column. Then, pass the raw water containing a certain
conc. of Na2SO4through resin layer at constant flow rate, and measure the conc. of SO 4-
in inlet and outlet water. After that, calculate the MTC value (m/s). MTC value becomes
lower with surface contamination of anion resin becoming more severe. [7.]
PSS adsorption capacity was measured by dynamic adsorption method: put a certain
amount of pre-treated anion resin into a column. Then, pass the raw water containing a
certain conc. of PSS (e.g. M.W: 10,000) through resin layer at constant flow rate, and
measure the conc. of PSS in outlet water. The total amount of PSS adsorption by resin
at the timing when PSS conc. in outlet water reaches 50% of raw waters (at 50% leak) is
defined as PSS adsorption capacity (mmol/L-R). The lower the PSS adsorption capacity
value of used resin, the more severe the surface fouling. On the other hand, regarding
new anion resin, high PSS adsorption capacity means high anti-organic fouling
property.
6. Results and discussion
6.1 Change of quality and performance of cation resin CSK40
The analysis results of the cation resin samples (new resin and resin after 34 months
operation) are shown in table 1. As for each analysis item, no significant change was
seen after 34 months operation. Although ion exchange capacity decreased a little, thefalling rate of ion exchange capacity after 34 months operation was only 3.4%. (fig.1)
Concerning the values of sphericity after osmotic-attrition (mechanical strength),
there was no decrease after 34 months of operation the mechanical strength was
well maintained. (fig.2)
The value of PSS eluting rate gradually increased for an initial 15 months, but it
decreased to very low level after 25 months of operation. (fig.3) We think the reason
why the value of PSS eluting rate increased in the early period and then decreased, is
that there was small amount of residual PSS in new resin particles and the residual
-62-

63/565
PSS was gradually eluted in early period, but the remaining PSS was almost completely
released by the 15th month, then, the value of PSS eluting rate went down. Since the
value was kept at a very low level after 34 months of operation, it is thought that thecation resin practically had not be oxidized, consequently, no deterioration of the quality
and performance was not observed after 34 months operation.
From the above results, the cation exchange resin CSK40 maintained good quality
and performance after about 3 years of operation in CP of air-cooled power units,
therefore, results proved that CSK40 had high oxidation-resistant ability and good
durability.

6.2 Change of quality and performance of anion resin CPA12
The analysis results of the anion resin samples (new resin and resin after 34 months
operation) are shown in table 1. The gradual decline of ion exchange capacity wasobserved, and the falling rate after 34 months operation was 12.8%, as compared with
new resin. (fig.1) It is thought that because condensate temperature of air-cooled
power units is very high, the strongly basic anion exchange groups were decomposed by
heating and turned into weakly basic anion exchange groups or completely lost their
anion exchange capability.
The mechanical strength value slightly decreased in the early period of operation, but
after that, it had been stably maintained around 80%. Moreover, regarding the resin
strength, there was no practical problem after about 3 years of use. (fig.2)
-64-
-
7/26/2019 001b Complete IACCC Proceedings
65/565
The MTC value had been very stable and no big change was observed during 34
months operation. (fig.4) The PSS adsorption capacity value gradually decreased and
reached about 44% of new resins level after 15 months of operation. But after that, thevalue was stable for a certain period, and after 34 months of operation, it recovered to
the same level as that of new resin (fig.4). It is thought that PSS adsorption capacity of
anion resin gradually decreases during long time of use because of surface fouling by
leachables eluted from cation resin. In this investigation, the decrease behavior of PSS
adsorption capacity of anion resin (fig.4) accords with the increase behavior of PSS
eluting rate of cation resin (fig.3). We think that, after that, the amount of PSS eluted
from cation resin significantly decreased, as a result, PSS adsorption capacity recovered
by repeated use and regeneration.
With regard to anion resin, since the heat-resistance of the strongly basic anion
exchange group is low, in general, the reduction rate of anion exchange capacity
relatively high. But the capacity of CPA12 still remained about 87%, even if it had been
used under the high temperature condition of air-cooled power unit for about 3 years.
Concerning the situation of organic fouling, although a certain reduction in PSS
adsorption capacity was observed in the early period, MTC had been kept at high level
all the time during operation. So it is considered no severe surface fouling had occurred
during 34 months of operation.
On the whole, it can be said that anion resin CPA12 still maintained good quality and
performance after about 3 years of use.

operation. (Time course of MTC and PSS adsorption capacity.)

use are shown in Fig.5. Both resins maintained good appearance after 34 months of use,
and a noticeable deterioration in appearance such as cracks or breaking of resin
particles was not observed.

6.4 Quality of CP outlet water
The quality of CP outlet water of both No.3 and No.4 units had met water quality
control standard (table 2) during 34 months operation, and there had been no problem
about demineralization performance of CP.

water and steam for supercritical pressure units in fossil-fired power plant)
6.5 Lab evaluation of oxidation resistant ability (durability) of cation resin CSK40
and PSS adsorption capacity (anti-organic fouling property) of anion resin CPA12
The oxidation elution test was conducted using new sample of CSK40 (gel type, 14%
cross-linkage) and other gel type resin samples (cross-linkage degree: 8%, 10%, 16%) at
the lab in order to verify the superiority of oxidation resistant ability (durability) of
CSK40. The result is shown in Fig.6. The
TOC value and high-M.W. PSS ratio of
-66-

CSK40 after oxidation treatment was controlled at very low level. It means CSK40 has
high oxidation resistant ability (durability).
Fig.6 Oxidation resistant ability of cation resin CSK40 with 14% cross-linkage
(Cross-linkage degree vs. leachables after oxidation treatment)
Regarding the anti-organic fouling property of anion resin CPA12 (porous type,
meddle cross-linkage), its PSS adsorption capacity value was compared with the values
of gel type anion resin (middle cross-linkage) and highly porous type anion resin (high
cross-linkage). The result is shown in Fig.7. Porous type anion resin CPA12 showed
much higher PSS adsorption capacity than gel type and highly porous type anion resins.
Therefore, it is proved that CPA12 has superior anti-organic fouling property.

7. Conclusion
In Huadian Ningxia Lingwu Power Station No.3 and No.4 units (21,060MW,air-cooled type), high-crosslinked gel type cation exchange resin CSK40 and porous type
anion exchange resin CPA12 were applied for their CP systems. Resin samples were
taken out after 10, 15, 25 and 34 months of operation, and the analysis of each sample
was carried out. And lab evaluation was also conducted with new resins in order to
verify the superiority of CSK40 in oxidation resistant ability (durability) and CPA12 in
anti-organic fouling property.
Cation resin maintained good quality and performance after 34 months of operation,
and the decreasing rate of ion exchange capacity after 34 months operation was 3.4%
Regarding anion resin, the ion exchange capacity decreased 12.8% after 34 months of
operation. Although PSS adsorption capacity decreased in the early period, it recovered
to the original level in the latter period, and a decrease of MTC values was not observed
all the time during 34 months operation. Therefore it is considered that the surface
contamination (organic fouling) did not occur during 34 months of operation. Since the
porous type anion resin has a property of anti-organic fouling, and cation resin used
together has high oxidation resistant ability and less leachables, the quality and
performance of anion resin had not been affected by organic fouling even after 34
months of operation.
From the consideration about resin analysis results and CP outlet water quality, the
resins applied in CP of No.3 and No.4 units still maintained good quality and
performance after 34 months of operation.
The results of lab evaluation also show that cation resin CSK40 has high oxidation
resistant ability (durability), and anion resin CPA12 has superior PSS adsorption
capacity (anti-organic fouling property).
As a result of analysis of used resins taken from the actual air-cooled power plant and
lab evaluation of new resins, it is considered that combination of high cross-linked geltype cation resin CSK40 and porous type anion resin CPA12 has high durability as
mixed bed resins, and also has a high conformity to CP of air-cooled power plants in
which the condensate temperature is very high and operating conditions are very sever
for resins.
