Chloromethane is produced, then purified, compressed, and condensed to become liquid chloromethane. I would like to ask the experts: in chloromethane condensers and coolers, why does the chloromethane fluid flow through the shell side, while the circulating water and chilled brine flow through the tube side? This goes against the general rules.
It does not violate this principle: in a water cooler, water generally flows through the tube side, while the fluid flows through the shell side.
The answer is correct; moreover, chloromethane includes compounds such as monochloromethane and dichloromethane, and due to fractional condensation, shell formation is even more necessary. Otherwise, the vapor-liquid mixture will cause surging in the narrow space of the tube side.
