In a vacuum concentration system, when selecting the final condenser, what factors need to be considered? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of condenser? I’m a complete novice; I hope those with more experience can offer some guidance
It is suitable for plate exchangers; the steam and cooling water are clean, and this does not affect the performance of the plate exchanger over time. It has a small size and high efficiency. The downside is that specific temperature and pressure requirements exist, and the tube arrangement is not very clear. I work in the field of plate exchangers
What does it mean by requirements for temperature and pressure? Does it refer to excessive resistance in plate heat exchangers?
Due to the gaskets, certain temperature requirements exist; generally, EPDM gaskets can operate within a temperature range of -25 to 140 degrees Celsius. Regarding the equipment, the pressure tolerance is usually within 1.6 MPA
