PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure stable output and efficiency regardless of the outside temperature of a steam turbine plant and to prevent damage of an air cooler body and attachment facilities thereof without consuming a large amount of water. SOLUTION: The air-cooled condenser adapted to guide vapor exhausted by a steam turbine 1 used for power generation and others to an air channel 5a formed within a condenser body 5 by an exhaust pipe 2, and condense the vapor by heat exchange with air introduced to the air channel 5a through an air inlet port provided in the condenser body 5 comprises an intake air cooler 9 provided at the air inlet part of the condenser body 5, a radiator 12 connected to the cooler 9 through a cooling pipe 10 and circulating a refrigerant to cool the air flowing into the air channel 5a through the air inlet part, and a compressor 11 condensing the refrigerant returned from the cooler 9 to the radiator 12.
