End difference of the condenser
Thread Content
While reading literature today, I came across the term \"terminal difference\" in relation to condensers. What exactly is this terminal difference? I really don’t understand it. This concept also appears in high-pressure heaters, and in some cases there’s even a negative terminal difference. Please, experts, explain it to me!
Could you paste a bit of the original text? It’s not entirely clear to me since this is the first time I’ve heard of this concept. Looking forward to answers below; I’m eager to learn more.
There are differences between the feedwater terminal difference and the drain terminal difference. Feedwater temperature difference = Saturated temperature at the shell-side operating pressure – Feedwater outlet temperature ； Hydrophobic terminal difference = Hydrophobic temperature – Feedwater inlet temperature. In the case of a condenser, it refers to circulating water.
