ABSTRACT:
A condenser in which the condenser tubes can be accessed for endoscopic examination in situ, without taking any part of the condenser off-line (except the specific tube being examined). The condenser's outlet water box has one or more inspection ports in its endwall, and a hollow rigid probe can be inserted through the outlet water box to dock with the end of a tube in the condenser. A flexible endoscopic probe can then be inserted through the rigid probe, to inspect the interior of the tube thus accessed. The rigid probe can also be used to isolate the flow of a single tube, if desired.
