STEAM CONDENSER,VACUUM AND CALCULATIONS
A down flow type surface condenser has vacuum -0.92 kg/cm2 condenses 100 TPH steam at cooling water inlet and outlet temperatures 27 °C and 37 °C respectively, calculate the condenser efficiency. Given that, T1 = 27 °C, T2= 37 °C T3 at vacuum -0.87 kg/cm2 is 48 °C We have, Condenser efficiency = (T2 - T1)/ (T3 – T1)
