Abstract: Condensers are one of the most important items of equipment at nuclear power plants. This paper describes the development of a modular, parametric and detailed general condenser simulation model. Four different condenser structures are simulated separately based on the characteristics of the condenser so as to give users choices in building simulation models of differently structured condensers. Examples are given to show that the calculated errors of simulation models are verified as less than 1.5% both in steady and dynamic conditions. The simulation results show that the simulation models can accurately reflect the operating characteristics of nuclear power plant condensers under different operation conditions.
