CS-23 Rate-controlled Shellside Multicomponent Condensation in Vacuum Conditions
September 02, 2022
HTRI investigated the accuracy of equilibrium multicomponent condensation models applied on the shell side of a bundle with 19.05-mm OD plain tubes. Tests were conducted in the Low Pressure Condensation Unit (LPCU) over a range of vacuum pressures (7 – 81 kPa) and fluid inlet flow rates [5 (10-3) – 7...

Research Update: Shellside Vacuum Condensation with Mixtures
June 07, 2018
Condensation data were recently collected in the Low Pressure Condensation Unit (LPCU) using hydrocarbon mixtures. This recent set of data wraps up a multiyear research project to study shellside condensation under vacuum conditions. This webinar will focus on the latest results collected with hydrocarbon mixtures. High-speed videos are shown along with...
