Product Profile of Shell And Tube Type Process Condensers

Shell and Tube Type Process Condensers do not mix vapours and cooling water, so there is no contamination of the cooling water. The Shell Condensers can be operated at lower absolute pressure due to smaller terminal velocity and hence less water is required for a given vacuum condition. The Condensers requires low floor area. The Shell and Tube Type Process Condensers ensures trouble free operation.

Key Features of Shell And Tube Type Process Condensers

• Condensers come with a low capital and installation cost
• Condensers can be operated at lower absolute pressure due to smaller terminal velocity and hence less water is required for a given vacuum condition
• Floor area required is low
• With almost negligible amount of fouling, a little or no maintenance is required
• Trouble-free operation
• Can be fabricated with corrosion resistant materials, rubber or any other suitable lining
• Open barometric discharge provides safe operation without an atmospheric relief valve
• These condensers do not mix vapours and cooling water, so there is no contamination of the cooling water
• A shell and tube heat exchanger-specially adapted for condensing on either the shell or tube side is often used for pre, inter or after-condensing
• If the condensing vapours are extremely fouling, tube-side condensation is preferred for easy mechanical cleaning
• If fouling is minor, shell-side condensing is better because of higher condensing efficiency. Shell and tube condensers can be either fixed tube sheet or removable tube bundle design
• The removable tube design simplifies cleaning both sides. Units are available in any combination of materials to suit process applications
