Vertical and Horizontal Condenser Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-HTTLP-9226
Jlab Export is a leading Vertical and Horizontal Condenser Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Vertical and Horizontal Condenser (code EL-HTTLP-9226) is a steam-to-water shell and tube condenser set-up with two condensers, one vertical and one horizontal, run one at a time so their heat transfer coefficients can be compared. Steam from a stainless steel steam generator flows through the shell while cooling water runs inside the tubes. These twin condensers are produced by JLab in Ambala, India.

Overall and Film Coefficients from One Run
Steam condenses on the outside of the tubes at its saturation temperature Ts while the cooling water inside warms from T_in to T_out. The rotameter flow and that rise give the heat removed, Q = mass flow × specific heat × (T_out − T_in), and the condensate collected in the measuring cylinder over a timed interval, multiplied by the latent heat, checks it from the steam side. With the shell at Ts, LMTD = (T_out − T_in)/ln[(Ts − T_in)/(Ts − T_out)] and U = Q/(A × LMTD) on the outer tube area; the steam-side film coefficient then follows from 1/h_o = 1/U − (tube wall resistance) − (water-side resistance referred to the outer area).
Why Tube Orientation Changes the Coefficient
In filmwise condensation the heat must cross the condensate film, so a thinner film means a higher coefficient. On a vertical tube the film runs down the full 500 mm and thickens as it goes; on a horizontal tube it drains only round the circumference of the 12.7 mm tube before dripping off. Nusselt’s film theory therefore predicts a higher coefficient for a horizontal tube when, as here, the length is many times the diameter, and the rig tests that prediction. Dropwise condensation, studied on a separate apparatus below, gives higher coefficients than filmwise in either orientation.
