Coil Condenser

Coil Condensers are commonly used for the process of vapor condensation as well as examines the cooling of liquids. Condensers are manufactured by binding many parallel coils together in a glass shell. These coils are built of different diameters using various bore tubes.

Average Heat Transfer Coefficient:

Condensation: 200 – 270 Kcal/m²·hr·°C (approx.)

Cooling: 100 – 150 Kcal/m²·hr·°C (approx.)

Key Features

  • High heat transfer efficiency
  • Multiple parallel coil design for increased surface area.
  • Manufactured with precision bore tubes of various diameters
  • Vertical mounting for optimized condensate flow
  • Suitable for cooling water and brine (closed circuit)
  • Maximum coolant pressure: 2.7 bar (g)
  • Corrosion-resistant glass construction
  • Low maintenance and easy integration with reactors & distillation columns
  • Designed to prevent coil logging and back pressure issues

Specifications

  • Construction Shell: Borosilicate Glass
  • Construction Coils: Parallel glass coil battery
  • Construction Mounting Position: Vertical only
  • Steam is not recommended for condenser coils
  • Adequate flow of coolant should be used
  • Coolant should not be heated to the boiling point.
  • Flexible hose connection recommended

Methods of Operation:

  1. Vapours from Bottom
    • Easy installation over reactors
    • Condensate returns near condensing temperature
    • Risk of coil logging if condensate flow is excessive
    • Reflux divider recommended below the condenser
  2. Vapours from Top
    • Provides cooler condensate
    • Utilizes full cooling surface area
    • Recommended where logging risk is higher

Applications

Coil Condensers are widely used in:

  • Chemical Processing Plants
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Units
  • Distillation Columns
  • Reflux Systems
  • Solvent Recovery Units
  • Evaporation Systems
  • R&D Pilot Plants
  • Speciality Chemical Production
  • Fertilizer & Pigment Industries

Process Equipment

Boilers:

Designed for evaporation processes using steam through specially designed large cross-section coils.

 

Immersion:

Used to control exothermic reactions in glass vessels (VSR & VSE types). Suitable for cooling water (max 2.7 bar g) or steam (max 3.5 bar g). Not recommended for crystallizing products.

 

Product Coolers:Description:

Unlike coil condensers, product coolers allow the product to pass through the coil and coolant through the shell, offering extended residence time for effective cooling of distillates.
