In this first part of a two-part series, we will examine basic ideas behind the importance of condenser heat transfer, and in the second part, we will review straightforward methods to monitor ...

The steam condenser of a power plant boiler is a critical heat exchanger in the process. Poor performance due to restricted heat transfer can have a dramatic influence on unit efficiency.

This week the article continues its discussions of the plate heat exchanger as vaporizer and condenser. Particularly as a vaporizer, the PHE presents the characteristics of a high degree of turbulence ...

Webb In addition to lower cooling water temperatures, advanced technology condenser tubes with special surface geometries on the inner and outer surfaces will yield a higher overall heat transfer ...

Material such as slime, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, magnesium dioxide, silt, petroleum products, corrosion products, and the like adhere to the inside of the heat exchanger and condenser ...

The change in condenser coil heat transfer performance ranged from a 7 percent increase to a 7 percent decrease for the coils we tested. The average change was … none at all. The coil that ...

If a condenser becomes damaged, dirty, or fouled, less heat transfer can take place from the refrigerant to the surrounding ambient air. If less heat can be rejected to the surrounding air with an air ...

Now, a team of researchers at MIT has developed a way of coating these condenser surfaces with a layer of graphene, just one atom thick, and found that this can improve the rate of heat transfer ...

Zaki et al, Additively manufactured compact water-cooled refrigerant condenser, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2025.126836 ...

Like their vented counterparts, condenser dryers rely on blowing hot air to get your clothes dry. But instead of simply releasing all this moisture into your home as exhaust, the machine uses a heat ...
