Steam condenser with articulated electrically heated blankets or panels

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a steam condenser with heating apparatus that relies on providing heat electrically to the condenser through the use of electrically heated blankets or electrically heated panels.
According to the present invention, the electric heat apparatus can be motor activated and rolled up and down along the outside of the steam condenser.
In utilizing articulated electrically heated blankets or panels, a highly efficient means is provided to assure total freeze proof protection of the steam condenser.
A steam condenser operator has full control of temperature regulation at his fingertips, and by simply and easily increasing the amount of electrical current into the articulated electrically heated blanket or panel, full freeze-proof protection is assured instead of having to rely on the unpredictability of flowing air currents.
The operating temperature of the steam condenser can be regulated uniformly by heating the blankets and panels electrically.
This prevents any variation in temperature between the numerous heat exchanger bundles.
Such variations in temperature can lead to condensate freezing in some of the heat exchanger bundles.
In addition, electrically heated blankets and panels reduce the amount of time it takes to heat the heat exchanger bundles due to the ultimate quickness involved in an electric delivered heating system.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which the preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated.
