Contrary to a barometric installation of surface condensers
(barometric height 11 m), this set-up offers the possibility of reducing
the system's installation height. This design, using vertical surface condenser, is used in cases where
there is a liability of a higher degree of pollution by the process flows.
The installation of spray nozzles in the condenser head enables "cleaning"
to take place even during operation. Horizontal installation - see option with liquid ring pump.
Advatages:
- Reduced installation height
- Separation of the process- and cooling water flows
- Short start-up time without a start-up ejector
- Possibility of draining condensate
from the pre-connected
Disadvantages:
- Possibility of pollution on the process- and cooling water side
- Increased maintenance and repairs expenditure (mechanical pump)
- Increased liability towards breakdowns
- Possibility of material damages due to cavitation (mechanical pump
- Limited possibilities in the choice of materials(mechanical pump)
