to design condensation of water steam

[ptrbhs]

Hi Everybody,

I will have to condens 100 kg water steam of 120 °C during 1 hour operation. What kind of equipment ought to be used and how much m2 surface is required in heat exchanger? How can I design said condensator?

best regards

I doubt that anyone will volunteer to design your steam condenser. This is not a free design service Forum. If you are an engineer (which I expect), you should be perfectly capable of designing (or specifying) your own condenser. Why you should ask how to go about doing this is beyond me - unless you are not an engineer.

Dear Montemayor,

Many thanks for your comments. I don´t need your free consultation but really I need valutable comments. In last 30 years I had to work in fully different areas therefore I no have suitable knowledge for obtaining design results in short time. But if you need advices regarding approach of interperation of research in plant protection chemicals I would be glad to give all the required information to you. Sorry that you were disturbed by question from unexpert person. I did not want to cause problems but I beleived that somebody could give useful and usable details since said Forum description is as follows:Chemical plant design & operations technical support forum and mutual help system for engineering professionals.
I hope somebody can help me if you are not able to allow from your proudness.

Have a nice day

best regards

My first thought would be to contact suppliers of the general type of equipment you need. Or do you plan to build it yourself?

For general correlations for heat transfer coefficients, you might check heat transfer textbooks.

I suppose you could inject the steam into water directly, and not need much in the way of a heat exchanger.
