Catalogue data of a water-cooled condenser of a manufacturer gives the following details: Condensing temperature 48.9°C Water inlet temperature 37.8°C Water flow rate 20.694 kg/s Capacity 145 tons Estimate the capacity of this condenser with the same water flow rate but with an inlet temperature of 30°C and a condensation temperature of 42°C. The evaporation temperature may be assumed to be constant at 2.2°C.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
