where can I find a pilot condenser to rent?

where can I find a pilot condenser to rent?

where can I find a pilot condenser to rent?

(OP)
I am plannig to recovery and recycle monobutyl trichloride 1% on volume in an industrial environment. It is a gas-liquid phase condensation at 300F low pressure. Does some one know where I can find a pilot condenser plant to rent?

Thanks.
 

RE: where can I find a pilot condenser to rent?

Please provide flow rate, temperature, pressure, other components.

RE: where can I find a pilot condenser to rent?

Doubt you can rent anything.  Why not just buy a small used condenser and try it?

The main line operates with 600 scfm, 300F, and 50 mmHG.
composition is: 85% N2, 12% O2, 2% H2O and 1% MTBC.
I am planning to collect a fraction of this flow and then study the recovery.
Based on MBTC enthalpy and vapor pressure, I am estimating that we should condense between 200F to 225F.

I agree w/ wlozano.  Just build yourself one, or find a local weld shop to build one.  Let's say you take 1/4% of the main stream, then you are talking 1.5 scfm or about 38 acfm.  At an entrance velocity of 30 ft/sec, we are looking at a single tube about 1" diameter.  Build yourself a double tube excanger using 316 staineless for the inner tube.  Corrosion will be an issue.  There are decomposition reactions that take place with organic halogens -- a fact of life.
