A concept where the beauty is hidden in the simplicity. #### We keep your plant running Through engineering and field experience, we’ve learned to optimize the design smartly, which enables us to provide the most reliable solution to keep your plant running. Heat Transfer Systems ![Dump steam condenser](https://www.bronswerk.com/hubfs/Images/Heat%20Transfer%20Systems/3.06%20-%20dump%20steam%20condensers/3.06%20-%20dump%20steam%20condensers%20foto%2008.jpg) ## Our Dump Steam Condensers are developed to stabilize your process in unstable moments We developed a Dump Steam Condenser suitable to dispose of the full steam output of the plant into the condenser during emergency conditions. A reduction of steam consumption can be sudden, for instance in case of a turbine trip or broken paper lane. If the steam generation can’t be reduced as quickly as the reduction of steam consumption, the excess steam needs to be dumped. Dumping is possible through a boiler vent, resulting in environmental constraints, exceptional noise and losses of costly condensate. The friendly alternative is to install a Dump Steam Condenser that condensates the excess steam.  This requires an installation that can immediately react to a dump and to variations in capacity or pressure. When an Air-Cooled Condenser has quite some material that has to be warmed up in a short time, it requires the utmost of a good control system. The rapid flow and pressure variations also ask for a well-thought-out mechanical design to cope with the rapid expansion of the material. We developed a customized solution that covers both reliable hardware and an ingenious control system.  It also functions well during load changes when steam pressure may rise slightly during a transient. It actuates a dump valve to hold the pressure constant. [Our other Heat Transfer Systems](https://www.bronswerk.com/heat-transfer-systems) ## 30% ### more efficient with high pressure ## Make use of the full power of your plant In case your steam heated installation stops operating - often for emergency reasons - a dump condenser must be able to respond directly in order to absorb the heat. This requires an Air-Cooled Dump Condenser that can immediately switch from a standstill situation to full capacity. If the steam from the exhaust boiler exceeds the steam demand on board, the steam dump valve automatically dumps the surplus steam to a dump condenser. The majority of Dump Steam Condensers require an expensive and critical steam inlet control valve. The system that we have developed operates with a far simpler open/closed steam valve. Control of the flow is performed by a condensate control valve, much smaller, much simpler, much cheaper.   [![Talk to our specialists](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6739931/506626d7-c2e1-4be2-9119-c5eb31a20206.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6739931/506626d7-c2e1-4be2-9119-c5eb31a20206) ## Passionate about heat exchange since 1940 [More interesting case studies](https://www.bronswerk.com/case-studies) [![Dump steam condensers](https://www.bronswerk.com/hubfs/Images/Heat%20Transfer%20Systems/3.06%20-%20dump%20steam%20condensers/3.06%20-%20dump%20steam%20condensers%20foto%2005.jpg)](https://www.bronswerk.com/case-switzerland) #### [Controlled cooling system with Dump Steam Condenser](https://www.bronswerk.com/case-switzerland) We delivered a fully regulated control system to regulate the duty of an Heat Transfer System.
