- Description
- A condenser designed to condense hexane vapours generated from various locations in the vegetable oil solvent extraction plant. It is a shell and tube heat exchanger which comprises of a vessel with a cylindrical shell enclosing a series of tubes which are held in place at both ends of the cylinder with a tube sheet. The sheet is welded to the shell, between the tube sheets are a series of baffles welded in place. The condenser is vertically mounted on 2 support feet with a cap end bolted to each end of the tube sheet. For this application the vessel is a replacement for a corroded vessel and the original cap ends will be re-used. The condenser is manufactured from a combination of carbon steel and stainless steel. The tubes are stainless steel grade 316, the shell and baffles are stainless steel grade 304, the tube sheets and support feet are carbon steel (Grade S275JR). The Gaskets for the cap end to tube sheet seal are synthetic fibre based. On the shell side there is an opening for the vapours to enter the vessel and 2 outlets, one for drainage of the condensed hexane which is recycled back into the process and a second outlet for the non-condensable vapour which flow to further upstream equipment before being discharged to atmosphere. Each of the existing cap ends has a connection, water passes through the upper cap end connection down the tubes to the lower cap end and out. The water is the cooling medium used to condense the hexane vapour. The condenser diameter is approximately 510 mm and the length is approximately 7.1 m with an empty weight is about 2.3 tonne. The tube surface area is approximately 130 m2.
