Application of evaporative condensers in distillation columns
Thread Content
After checking some literature, it seems that evaporative condensers are not widely used in distillation; they are mainly applied in industries such as methanol, vinyl chloride, and fertilizers. Traditional shell-and-tube heat exchangers still remain the dominant choice. I would like to hear from everyone, especially those with experience in production, what are their opinions on the use of evaporative condensers in the condensation process of distillation towers?
Evaporative coolers? We really don’t have any of those in our setup. They are all shell-and-tube types. You can introduce the principle for everyone to discuss
I would like to ask everyone, is it possible to use a plate-type wet air cooler in the distillation section? Small size, large heat exchange area.
