Seeking internal structure diagrams of condensers and reboilers
Thread Content
I need diagrams of the internal structure of condensers and reboilers, as well as diagrams showing the internal flow patterns during operation. I want to know the internal flow patterns within the condenser and reboiler while they are in operation. I also want to know, for each of these two heat exchangers, which fluid flows through the tube side and which flows through the shell side during operation.
Calculating heat transfer during the condensation process is quite complex, and a large heat exchange area is required; plate-type designs yield better results in this regard. .
In a condenser, steam typically flows through the shell side, while the cold fluid (usually circulating water or low-temperature water) flows through the tube side. The commonly used reboiler is a vertical thermosyphon reboiler, with the heating steam flowing through the shell side and the process fluid flowing through the tube side ； A kettle-type reboiler typically has the process fluid flowing through the shell side, while the heating steam flows through the tube side. Schematic diagrams of the structure can be found in chemical process manuals or heat exchanger design manuals.
