I realize that a steam surface condensers performance declines with an increase in inlet temp but my question is if there is a critical point where condenser vacuum drops more drastically. What would be a good representative equation showing the relationship between inlet temp and vacuum?
I realize that the performance of a steam surface condenser declines as the inlet temp increases. My question is this: is there a critical point that the vacuum suddenly drops relatively quickly. Is there an equation showing a general vacuum curve relative to inlet temp?
Thanks in advance!
