Vertical & horizontal condenser apparatus

Description The present set-up offers a comparative study of Vertical & Horizontal condenser, which can be operated one at a time. It consists of a horizontal and a vertical condenser of shell & tube type fitted with steam traps from where condensate is collected in measuring cylinder. Cold fluid flows through tubes and steam flows through the shell. Steam generator with level indicator to maintain level of water, is fitted with heater controlled by a Digital Temperature controller. A junction of control valves is provided to select and operate either horizontal or vertical condenser. A Rotameter with control valve is fitted in water line to control and measure the cooling water supply. Temperature of inlet and outlet of both hot & cold fluids are measured by temperature sensors.
