A vertical bundle air-cooled heat exchanger, a finned tube assembly for an air cooled condenser and method for forming the same, and a system for removing thermal energy generated by radioactive materials. In one aspect, an air cooled condenser sized for industrial and commercial application includes an inlet steam distribution header for conveying steam, a condensate outlet header for conveying condensate, an array of tube bundles each having a plurality of finned tube assemblies having a bare steel tube with an exposed outer surface and a set of aluminum fins brazed directly onto the tube by a brazing filler metal. The steel tubes may be spaced apart by the aluminum fins and have an inlet end fluidly coupled to the inlet steam distribution header and an outlet end fluidly coupled to the outlet header. A forced draft fan may be arranged to blow air through the tube bundles.

A finned tube having a tube main body, on the outside of which, in particular separate or integral, fins are arranged, preferably circumferentially, wherein the fins and/or the tube main body are of a multi-layer material.

A waterwall panel welding apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an inlet assembly, a welding assembly, an outlet assembly, and a heating system. The inlet assembly is for receiving a plurality of tubes. The welding assembly is for receiving the tubes from the inlet assembly and for allowing the tubes to be welded together to form a waterwall panel. The outlet assembly is for receiving the waterwall panel from the welding assembly. The heating system heats the tubes and operates via magnetic induction.

Systems and methods of manufacture of radiator fins. In one embodiment, a radiator fin made of carbon fiber is provided. In one aspect, the radiator fin is made of carbon fibers forming an interlaced pattern. In another aspect, the interlaced carbon fiber radiator fin is attached directly to a heat pipe, the heat pipe connected to a heat source.

A device for welding together cylindrical sections of a casing. The device comprises a clamping ring configured to surround and attach to a section of the casing and a robot provided with a welding gun and at least one joint, wherein the robot is movably attached to the clamping ring by cooperating means. A method for welding cylindrical sections of a casing by using such a device includes the steps of a) positioning and clamping the clamping ring at the correct position, b) moving the robot along the clamping ring to the correct position for welding, c) welding the sections to each other by the welding gun of the robot, and d) releasing the clamping ring.

A method for producing ribbed pipes, in which a first pipe base body is ribbed on its outer side, in particular helically, with a first band, to which end the first band is secured to the first pipe base body using a first laser beam. While the first band is being secured to the first pipe base body using the first laser beam, a second pipe base body is ribbed on its outer side with a second band, to which end the second band is secured to the second pipe base body using a second laser beam, wherein the first and second laser beams come from the same laser source.

Systems and methods of manufacture of radiator fins. In one embodiment, a radiator fin made of carbon fiber is provided. In one aspect, the radiator fin is made of carbon fibers forming an interlaced pattern. In another aspect, the interlaced carbon fiber radiator fin is attached directly to a heat pipe, the heat pipe connected to a heat source.
