I have only designed condensers recently. Most of my design work has been with heat exchangers, boilers, vacuum vessels, flash vessels, superheaters, boilers and engines. I have only studied and worked with condensers in the past. They are a very interesting challenge.
In the future we...
We have designed an all steel condenser with five passes of water cooling. It is 600 mm diameter and 3 metres between tube plates with 300 tubes. The total area for heat exchange is 49 square metres.
The first pass ensures that the extraction region for un-condensibles is the coolest part...
A lute is a delightful shape and that is why the name is applied to the pressure limiting device. It has a bulbous vessel at the bottom with a space above a liquid surface that connects with the vessel or system that is to be protected. A vertical pipe extends into the vessel to end well below...
Does the manufacturer of a steam condenser, always less than 50C (122F), need to be ASME certified?
The condenser for our engine will be 12 feet long and 2 feet in diameter. It will be water cooled and protected from pressures above 120 inch water gauge by a check valve and lute.
