Hi,
anyone has a design method for a direct contact condenser in pressure, with mixed phase to be condensed with liquid stream of the same fluid.

Use the search fixture at the top of this page asking for 'direct contact condensers' and you may find some help.
 
Hey gelsi,

A pump around system is a pretty simple process design. The heat duty (condensation rate) will set the pump around flow for a design delta-T on the liquid. Then it is mostly an exchanger design problem. A process simulator can do this calculation in a few minutes. On the contacting side you can get some advice from a tower vendor on the best spray system to use based on your calculated flows.

Maybe you can find something useful here:

Best wishes,
Sshep
