1. A mechanical draft modular air cooled condenser comprising:

  • a first condenser pair including;

    a first condenser bundle panel having a first top end and a first bottom end;

    a first manifold disposed near the first top end;

    a first condensate header connected to the first bottom end;

    a second condenser bundle panel consecutive to the first condenser bundle panel, the second condenser bundle panel having a second top end and a second bottom end; and

    a second condensate header connected to the second bottom end, the second condensate header parallel to the first condensate header, the first bottom end of the first condenser bundle panel and the second bottom end of the second condenser bundle converging toward each other;

    a second condenser pair including;

    a third condenser bundle panel consecutive to the second condenser bundle panel, the third condenser bundle panel having a third top end and a third bottom end, the second top end of the second condenser bundle panel and the third top end of the third condenser bundle panel converging toward each other;

    a second manifold disposed near the second top end and the third top end, the first condensate header and the second condensate header disposed horizontally between and vertically below the first manifold and the second manifolds;

    a third condensate header connected to the third bottom end, the third condensate header parallel to the first condensate header and parallel to the second condensate header;

    a fourth condenser bundle panel consecutive to the third condenser bundle panel, the fourth condenser bundle panel having a fourth top end and a fourth bottom end; and

    a fourth condensate header connected to the fourth bottom end, the fourth condensate header parallel to the third condensate header, the third bottom end of the third condenser bundle panel and the fourth bottom end of the fourth condenser bundle converging toward each other;

    a shroud that houses a single fan, the single fan positioned to create a draft to flow over the first condenser bundle panel, over the second condenser bundle panel, over the third condenser bundle panel, and over the fourth condenser bundle panel; and

    a support frame that supports the first, second, third, and fourth condenser bundle panels.
