Claim:
1. A method for assembling a modular air cooled condenser extending along a vertical axis away from horizontal, comprising: assembling a first condenser bundle having a first set of tubes having first and second ends, a steam manifold connected to the first ends of the tubes, and a condensate header connected to the second ends of the tubes, wherein the first condenser bundle includes a length and a width and a longitudinal axis running along the length of the first condenser bundle, the length of the first condenser bundle being about six times longer than the width of the first condenser bundle, the steam manifold extending the length of the first condenser bundle along a first side, the condensate header extending the length of the first condenser bundle along a second side, each tube of the first set of tubes extending perpendicularly across the longitudinal axis of the first condenser bundle and straight from the steam manifold to the condensate header; assembling a second condenser bundle having a second set of tubes having first and second ends, a steam manifold connected to the first ends of the tubes, and a condensate header connected to the second ends of the tubes; placing the first and second condenser bundles in to a container; transporting the container to a location upon which the modular air cooled condenser will be assembled; assembling a heat exchange delta by placing using the first condenser bundle and the second condenser bundle; and positioning the heat exchange delta on a modular tower frame.
