Flat-plate enamel condenser
Thread Content
The latest patented enamel flat-plate condenser is an alternative to the disc-type condenser; it features a square flat design instead of the circular ridged design. It significantly reduces the problem of enamel cracking on the convex surfaces and in the flow channels, which occurs under conditions of thermal deformation, high cooling water pressure, and high vacuum pressure. With the same floor area as conventional disc-type condensers, it offers a cooling efficiency about 40% higher. Thanks to its high efficiency, it reduces the required floor space; it is small in size, light in weight, and easy to install.
What type of board is used here? Is it easy to maintain?
The stress distribution in a flat plate is better than that in a bulged circular structure, which goes against my common knowledge regarding pressure vessels. I don’t know how your internal structure is reinforced. (Whether there is reinforcement): The bulging circular structure relies on its own structure; no additional reinforcing elements are used. There is also stress at the two straight edges of the square structure (there is a stress concentration issue here); has it been calculated? Or through stress measurement? When the bulged circular structure was first manufactured, stress measurements were taken. The stress is kept within the allowable range. Just saying, don’t pay attention to it.
There is another question: in a flat-plate structure, without any flow guiding devices inside, it is theoretically less effective at cooling than a circular structure, as poor water flow can occur at the right angles.
