The Features Of The Vertical Condenser And Shower-Type Condenser

Vertical shell and tube condenser


The main features of the vertical condenser are:
1)    Due to the high cooling flow and flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient is high, generally about K = 600 ~ 700 (kcal / m2? H? ).
2)    Vertical installation covers small areas, and can be installed outdoors.
3)    Cooling water flow directly and have high flow rate, so not need high water quality, the general water can be used as cooling water.
4)    Scales in pipe can be easy removed, and do not have to stop the refrigeration system work.

5)    But in the vertical condenser, the rise temperature of cooling water is generally only 2 ~ 4 , logarithmic average temperature difference is generally about 5 ~ 6 , so need much water. And because the equipment is placed in the air, the tube is susceptible to corrosion and is easier to find its leaking.

Shower type condenser

The main advantages of the shower-type condenser are:
1)    simple structure, easy to manufacture;
2)    easy to find ammonia leakage, and easy maintenance;
3)    easy to clean;
4)    low water quality requirements
The main drawbacks are:
1)    low heat transfer coefficient is low;
2)    high consumption is high;
3)    large covered areas.
The shower-type condenser take away the condensation heat by water temperature rising and water evaporates in the air. This condenser is mainly used in large and medium-sized ammonia refrigeration system. It can be installed in the open air, can also be installed in the cooling tower below, but should avoid direct sunlight.
