Description: At CENAL Elektrik Üretim AS, we have conducted a finite element analysis (#FEA) to investigate the deformation of the top neck part of the #condenser unit due to the forces exerted by the #vacuum inside the condenser.

A vacuum inside a condenser can cause deformation of its structure, primarily due to the significant pressure differential between the interior and exterior of the condenser. When a vacuum is created, the internal pressure drops well below the atmospheric pressure outside the condenser. This substantial pressure differential exerts a #compressive_force on the condenser walls, which can potentially lead to deformation such as #buckling or collapsing if the walls are not sufficiently reinforced. Alternatively, it may cause the rubber #compensator material, which provides damping between rigid structures, to tear, as was observed in this case.

Findings and solutions related to the studies are available in the visuals.
