Condenser design
Thread Content
I would like to design a condenser for the new process, but I’m not familiar with the key aspects of condenser design and don’t know where to start. I hope those who know how can provide solutions; I’d be extremely grateful!
You need to list the detailed basic data: what is the material that needs to be condensed, what is the temperature at the inlet, what is the volume involved, and whether water or chilled water should be used for condensation – without this information, how can a proposal be prepared?
The process medium, dichloroethane gas, needs to be condensed at a temperature of 30°C, a pressure of 1 atm, and a flow rate of 31 Nm3/h； Refrigerant: 5°C water, pressure 3 bar. It takes 3 hours for the dichloroethane gas in this flow rate to condense
Both 1,1-dichloroethane and 1,2-dichloroethane are liquids at 30°C, right? What about the temperature? Also, what is the flow rate that the refrigerant can provide?
The flow rate of water at 5℃ is unknown; it is only known that the diameter of the cooling water pipe is DN50, the pressure at the drainage outlet is 0 bar, and the cooling water for the condenser comes from a main pipe.
