CONDENSERS

MAJOR TYPE OF EQUIPMENT

CONTACT CONDENSER

The coolant and vapour stream are physically mixed. They leave the condenser as a single exhaust stream. Ex: spray towers stream or water jet ejectors barometric condensers

MAJOR TYPE OF EQUIPMENT

SURFACE CONDENSER

The coolant is separated from the vapours by tubular heat-transfer surfaces. The temperature of the coolant is increased, so this equipment also acts as heater. The device consists of a circular or oval cylindrical shell into which the vapour stream flows. Ex: Shell and tube heat exchanger

MAJOR INDUSTRIES USING THE EQUIPMENT

Condensers are usually used in combination with other

air pollution control devices. Condensers are used ahead of incinerators, absorbers, or adsorbers to reduce the total gas volume. Condensers are used to control organic emissions from petroleum refining, petrochemical manufacturing, dry cleaning, degreasing, rendering and surface coating industries. In addition, condensation processes using a refrigerant as the coolant are being used to recover gasoline vapors at bulk gasoline terminals.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF USE

Condensation is the process of reducing a gas or vapor to

a liquid. Any gas can be reduced to a liquid by lowering its temperature or increasing its pressure. The most common approach is to reduce the temperature of the gas stream, since increasing the pressure of a gas is very costly. Condensers are simple devices that usually use water to cool and condense a vapor stream.

PRINCIPLE OF THE OPERATION

When a hot vapor stream contacts a cooler surface, heat

is transferred from the hot gases to the cooler surface. As the temperature of the vapor stream is lowered, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is reduced. Also, the volume that these vapors occupy is reduced. Ultimately, the gas molecules are slowed down and crowded together so closely that the attractive forces between the moleules cause them to condense to a liquid.
