Products classified under HTS 8404.20.00.00
Surface Condenser for Steam Turbine Power Plant
A large shell-and-tube heat exchanger designed to condense exhaust steam from a steam turbine in a power generation facility by cooling it with circulating water. It falls under HTS 8404.20.00.00 as a condenser specifically for steam power units, auxiliary to boilers in headings 8402 or 8403. The low-pressure exhaust steam is condensed into water for reuse in the boiler cycle.
Jet Condenser for Small Steam Power Units
A direct-contact condenser that mixes exhaust steam directly with cooling water to condense it, commonly used in smaller steam power plants or industrial cogeneration systems. Classified under HTS 8404.20.00.00 as a condenser for steam power units auxiliary to boilers. It efficiently condenses low-pressure steam while producing non-condensable gases.
Barometric Surface Condenser for Utility Boilers
A vertical shell-and-tube condenser with extended tailpipe for gravity removal of condensate, used in large utility boiler steam cycles. It meets HTS 8404.20.00.00 as auxiliary condenser for steam power units, enabling high vacuum operation for turbine efficiency. Cooling water flows through tubes while steam condenses on the shell side.
Titanium Tube Bundle Condenser for Marine Steam Propulsion
Corrosion-resistant condenser with titanium tubes for naval or marine steam turbine propulsion systems, handling seawater cooling. Falls under HTS 8404.20.00.00 as condenser for steam power units in marine applications auxiliary to shipboard boilers. Provides high reliability in saline environments.
Vacuum Condenser System for Biomass Power Plant
Complete condenser package including surface condenser, vacuum pumps, and ejectors for biomass-fueled steam power plants. Classified under HTS 8404.20.00.00 as steam power unit condenser auxiliary to biomass boilers. Maintains turbine back-end vacuum for optimal efficiency.
Stainless Steel Shell-and-Tube Condenser for Cogeneration Plant
Duplex stainless steel condenser for combined heat and power (CHP) cogeneration systems, condensing steam for district heating return. Meets HTS 8404.20.00.00 as auxiliary condenser for steam power units in cogeneration boilers. Optimized for partial load operation.
