Design Principle 5: Condenser
Thread Content
Should saturated steam flow through the shell side of the condenser? , pipe routine? Since the heat transfer coefficient due to steam condensation is independent of flow velocity, and the condensed liquid can be easily removed
Saturated vapor should flow in the shell side, so as to facilitate the timely removal of condensate; moreover, the vapor is relatively clean, and the heat transfer coefficient for condensation is not greatly affected by flow velocity.
