Air Cooled Condenser's strongest point is air cooling system which is no need for water.
This means that user can eliminate water usage, chose plant site flexibly and maintain easily.
Firstly, the compactness translates into savings of the initial capital cost and reducing the installation space.
Secondly, the operation cost is low because of a fewer number of fans and motors.
