Design of Chemical Engineering Instruments and Equipment – Condensers
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts how to design a direct-contact condenser. The type I have chosen is a tower-type condenser. At present, the composition, temperature, and pressure of the feed gas and the output gas are known； There are also the temperature and pressure of the feed and discharge cooling water, and it is necessary to design the height, diameter of the packing tower, as well as the diameter of the packing. I’ve looked up some information, but it’s either not detailed enough or difficult to understand. I hope to get some help here; I’d be very grateful if I receive a response! ! !
Does no one know? Aaaaaah, I still don’t really know how to design even after looking up some information
The general height is about 3 to 5 times the diameter; for those with a smaller diameter, the higher value should be used； For those with a larger diameter, the smaller value is taken. If it is in a vacuum state, no filler is needed ； Whether a filler is used or not depends mainly on the internal components that ensure even distribution of the liquid; there are many designs that can achieve even liquid distribution, as long as there is no short circuit! For reference
We use an atmospheric condenser to directly condense steam with water
