Two broad types of condensers are: (i) Direct contact type condensers; where the condensate and cooling water directly mix and come out as a single stream. (ii) surface condensers; which are shell and tube type heat exchangers where the two fluids do not come in direct contact and heat released by the condensation of steam is transferred through the walls of the tubes in to the cooling water continuously circulating inside them
What else can I help you with?
What is kenotometer?
A kenotometer is an instrument used in steam turbine condensers to measure the vacuum in the steam space of the condenser. The vacuum achieved by the condenser has significant influence on the efficiency of the steam turbine.
Why steam is to be condensed in thermal power plant Y should not you use a compressor to suck compress and send back the steam at high pressure?
It's a matter of the steam cycle, the condenser in a condensing power plant creates a vacuum, or low pressure zone for the steam to flow into. A compressor would need to compress this steam 650 times plus generate enough force to force it back into the boiler, this would require a lot of energy to do. It is much simpler and much more cost effective (energy wise), to condense the steam and exhaust the excess heat to the cooling tower. The condensed water can then be pumped back to the boiler in stages to repeat the cycle. In these stages the water is de-aerated, treated and heated back to the boiler's temperature to prevent thermal shock in the boiler. In short condensing the steam is easier, safer and cheaper than trying to mechanically compress it. **By the way, there are vacuum pumps called "hoggers" or steam powered ejectors, and injectors which could do just what you suggest, but use exorbitant amounts of energy to do so. These are typically used in conjunction with condensers to eject non-condensible gasses from condensers.
How many kinds of steam?
There are three kinds of steam 1) saturated steam, 2)super saturated steam 3) wet steam.
Which is better wet steam or dry steam?
If by dry steam you mean superheated steam then dry steam because it has a higher calorific value
What is meant by moisture in steam?
whenever there is presence of moisture(water content) in steam due to which one cannot refer that steam as dry steam...then this type of steam are termed as wet steam!!
What is kenotometer?
A kenotometer is an instrument used in steam turbine condensers to measure the vacuum in the steam space of the condenser. The vacuum achieved by the condenser has significant influence on the efficiency of the steam turbine.
Why you selecting surface condenser?
Surface condensers are used exclusively to condense steam in thermal power plants. The coolant used for condensing this steam is generally water.
The fans that you see on a roof-top chiller are used to cool the?
Condensers
What are the different types of condensers available in the market?
The different types of condensers available in the market include dynamic condensers, electret condensers, and ribbon condensers. Each type has its own unique characteristics and applications.
What are the different types of condensers used in chemistry experiments?
In chemistry experiments, the different types of condensers used are reflux condensers, Liebig condensers, and Graham condensers. These condensers are used to cool and condense vapors back into liquid form during chemical reactions.
What has the author R J Law written?
R. J. Law has written: 'James Watt and the separate condenser' -- subject(s): Condensers (Steam)
What are the different types of laboratory condensers and how are they used in scientific experiments?
There are several types of laboratory condensers, including Liebig condensers, Graham condensers, and Allihn condensers. These condensers are used in scientific experiments to cool and condense vapors back into liquid form. This process helps separate and collect substances in a more concentrated form for further analysis or purification.
What are the different types of lab condensers and how are they used in scientific experiments?
There are three main types of lab condensers: reflux condensers, Liebig condensers, and Graham condensers. Reflux condensers are used to prevent the loss of volatile substances during a chemical reaction by condensing and returning vapors back to the reaction flask. Liebig condensers are used to cool and condense vapors in a straight tube design. Graham condensers are used for fractional distillation to separate different components of a mixture based on their boiling points. Overall, lab condensers are essential in scientific experiments to control temperature and collect and separate substances.
What are the industry primary products?
They are heat exchangers and steam condensers; fabricated steel plate; steel power boilers, parts, and attachments; metal tanks and vessels (custom fabricated at the factory).
The three materials condensers are made of?
Condensers are commonly made of glass, metals, or plastic. Glass condensers, often used in laboratory settings, are durable and resistant to chemical reactions. Metal condensers such as copper or stainless steel are good conductors of heat and provide efficient cooling. Plastic condensers, made of materials like polypropylene, are lightweight and resistant to corrosion.
How steam turbines be classified?
1) Impulse turbine 2) reaction turbine
Why you called a capacitor as a condenser?
Capacitors were first called Condensers by Alessandro Volta in 1782 when he discovered that the device had the ability to store a higher density of electric charge than a normal isolated conductor.The name was changed to capacitor after 1926 to avoid confusion with other types of condensers, like those on steam engines. Exactly who coined this new term has been lost
