Reinforced concrete shell for the conventional single - pass, single or multi-pressure steam condensors

The substitute program would be directed toward those items which employ a lesser degree of technical know-how and a greater amount of domestic raw material and unskilled labor. Also the items would have to be a relatively common import item between a large number of countries in order to make possible a cooperative effort toward the implementation of the programs. Such an item has been chosen, the steam condenser utilized in power generating plants. The outer shell uses a relatively large quantity of material, either welded steel or cast iron. It has been suggested that this material could be substituted with reinforced concrete, cast on the site. This kind of modification is the goal of the entire program. It consists not only of substituting local labor for the work performed elsewhere, but it also utilizes cement rather than steel or cast iron, a material produced by many of the less developed nations already.
