Condensers

Condensers are used for condensation of vapours and cooling of liquids.  Condensers are made by fusing number of parallel coils in a glass shell.  Coils are made in different diameters using tubes of different bores.

The average co-efficient of heat transfer in coil condenser is considered as-
Condensation    200 - 270 Kcal/m² ,hr,°C appx.
Cooling             100 - 150 Kcal/m² ,hr,°C appx.

Precautions to be taken in use of condensers
- Vapours should be passed through shell only.
- Maximum pressure of coolant should be 2.7 bars.
- Adequate flow of coolant should be used.
- Steam should not be used in coils.
- Coolant control valve should be turned slowly.
- Coolant should be allowed to drain freely.
- Brine can be used in coils in a closed circuit.
- Water main should be connected with flexible hose.
- Ensure no freezing of water remaining in the coils.
- Condensers should be mounted vertically only.
- Condensers can be mounted in series to provide larger surface area.
