Would appreciate any input regarding use of BXM type vapor condenser with sub-cooling. Vapor is on shell side, cooling water on tube side. Are there cross baffles used in a BXM exchanger? What is the best way to ensure sub-cooling - seal in the outlet line, dam baffle or a valve in the outlet line? Thanks.

What you typically do is have a temperature controller on the outlet, which controls an upstream aircooler. Keep the cooling water flow constant.
If you don't have an aircooler upstream, and the turndown on cooling water is limited, you can control the cooling water flow. (be carefull for fouling)
If you can control your process flow, that's an option as well.
BTW I tried to google BXM, but all that came up were BMX bikes.
B=flanged head, X=single pass cross flow, and M=?
