[en] The influence of main factors on overall heat transfer was analyzed, and the effects of fouling factors on heat transfer characteristics in steam condenser were clarified. It was proposed that the tube outside enhancement is the most important attribute, when outside heat transfer coefficient increased there will be a big increase in condenser efficiency. The characteristics of heat transfer enhancement by spirally indented tube were investigated. It was proposed that condenser heat transfer efficiency will be raised when the low fin tube or the spirally indented tube with special treated surface were used
