EG vapour condensing

Condensing ethylene glycol vapour drawn off the polycondensation train under vacuum.

Recommended type

Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger

Condensing under vacuum makes pressure drop on the vapour side the governing number, not the heat transfer area. A spiral gives one wide continuous channel and takes the oligomer that comes over with the glycol; plate & shell is the choice where the vacuum vessel has to be code stamped.

Two plate & shell units finished and standing in the packing bay. The bolted head on each comes off to withdraw the plate pack; everything on the shell side is welded, which is what carries this construction past the pressure and temperature a gasket will take.
