2023年至2028年風冷式冷凝器市場預測Air-Cooled Condenser Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028 |
風冷式冷凝器市場預計在預測期內複合年成長率為 4.06%。
風冷式冷凝器 (ACC) 是一種直接乾式冷卻系統,採用風冷式翅片管來冷凝蒸氣。 ACC 的排熱過程和整體功能是透過在翅片管外流動冷的環境空氣來有效地溶解熱量來定義的。風冷冷凝器產業的成長主要是由石油和天然氣、電力和能源以及其他工業部門等快速成長的最終用戶的高需求所推動的。
風冷式冷凝器因其高效的散熱能力而被用於天然氣加工和精製。全球能源需求的增加以及新油氣蘊藏量的探勘正在擴大油氣生產活動的規模,並增加對風冷式冷凝器的需求。根據能源情報署的數據,2022 年美國天然氣產量增加 3.7%,達到約 35.81 兆立方英尺 (Tcf)。這意味著與前一年同期比較,平均日產量約為 981.1 億立方英尺。
氣冷式冷凝器因其能夠高效散熱並為蒸氣渦輪等發電設備提供有效冷卻而被廣泛應用於電力和能源領域。由於能源需求的增加和大規模投資推動了對可靠的風冷冷凝器的需求,電力和能源行業正在經歷顯著成長,從而導致市場的積極成長。例如,2022 年 6 月,BHEL 和 GE Steam Power 宣布達成一項價值 1.65 億美元的協議,為 NPCIL 的國內核能計畫供應三台核能蒸氣渦輪,特別是印度哈里亞納邦和卡納塔克邦的一期開發項目。合約。
風冷式冷凝器技術的不斷進步,例如先進的翅片設計、最佳化的氣流和高效的材料使用,提高了性能、效率和可靠性,促進了整體市場的成長。例如,2022年5月,Kaltra推出了配備創新雙板微通道熱交換器的Bora VS系列風冷冷媒冷凝器。這些熱交換器以逆流配置運行,以實現冷媒和空氣之間的高效熱傳遞。電容器採用 4 線圈 V 組設計,以增強性能。這種設計在使用HFO冷媒或低汽化潛熱冷媒時特別有效,因為它最能體現整體冷凍效果。
由於中國、印度和日本等主要經濟體的石油和天然氣、電力和能源部門的強勁成長和快速工業化,預計亞太地區將佔最大佔有率。據石油和天然氣部稱,2022年12月印度原油吞吐量達到2,230萬噸(MMT),較2021年增加3.7%。此外,2020年12月,中國能建與鄂爾多斯市政府達成協議,投資238億元建立綜合能源基地,新增5GW太陽能發電裝置,加強該地區能源基礎建設。
風冷式冷凝器在環境溫度較高的地區有其局限性,因為它們的效率隨著溫度升高而降低,影響其冷卻能力和在此類環境中的使用。此外,風冷式冷凝器由於風扇和壓縮機的運作而產生噪音,這在對噪音敏感的住宅和工業設施中造成了問題,從而限制了其採用。
The air-cooled condenser market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.06% during the forecast period.
An air-cooled condenser (ACC) is a direct dry cooling system that employs air-cooled finned tubes to condense steam. The heat removal process and overall functionality of an ACC are defined by the flow of cool ambient air outside the finned tubes, which effectively dissolves the heat. The air-cooled condenser industry growth is primarily driven by the high demand from growing prominent end-users such as oil & gas, power & energy, among other industrial sectors.
Air-cooled condensers due to their efficient heat dissipation capabilities are employed in natural gas processing and refineries. The increasing global energy demand and exploration of new oil & gas reserves have escalated the scale of oil & gas production activities owing to which the demand for air-cooled condensers rises. According to the Energy Information Administration, in 2022, the United States witnessed a notable increase in dry natural gas production by 3.7%, reaching approximately 35.81 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). This translates to an average daily production of around 98.11 billion cubic feet, compared to the previous year.
Air-cooled condensers are widely used in the power and energy sector due to their ability to efficiently dissipate heat and provide effective cooling for power generation equipment, including steam turbines and thermal power plants. The power and energy sector is experiencing substantial growth due to increasing energy demands, and heavy investments which are propelling the demand for reliable air-cooled condensers that are resulting in positive market growth. For instance, in June 2022, BHEL and GE Steam Power entered into a significant contract worth $165 million for the supply of three nuclear steam turbines which are intended for NPCIL's domestic nuclear program, specifically for phase 1 development in Haryana and Karnataka, India.
Ongoing advancements in air-cooled condenser technology such as advanced fin designs, optimized airflow, and efficient materials usage have led to improved performance, efficiency, and reliability which is contributing to the overall market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Kaltra introduced the Bora VS series, which consists of air-cooled refrigerant condensers equipped with innovative twin-slab microchannel heat exchangers. These heat exchangers operate with a counterflow configuration for efficient heat transfer between the refrigerant and air. The condensers are designed with 4-coil V-banks, enhancing their performance. This design is particularly effective when using HFO refrigerants and other refrigerants with a low latent heat of vaporization, as it optimally reflects the overall refrigeration effect.
Asia Pacific will account for a major air-cooled condenser market share due to the robust growth of the oil & gas and power and energy sectors in leading economies namely China, India, and Japan coupled with rapid industrialization. According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, in December 2022, crude oil processing in India reached 22.3 million metric tonnes (MMT), reflecting a 3.7% increase over 2021. Also, in December 2020, Energy China agreed with Erdos city government to establish an integrated energy base with an investment of 23.8 billion yuan to augment the region's energy infrastructure by adding 5 GW of solar capacity.
Air-cooled condensers face limitations in regions with high ambient temperatures as their efficiency can be reduced when temperatures rise, impacting their cooling capacity and suitability for use in such environments. Additionally, air-cooled condensers generate noise through the operation of fans and compressors, which can pose challenges in noise-sensitive residential areas and industrial establishments thereby constraining their adoption.
