Condenser Design Calculation

This document provides calculations to design a condenser according to HEI standards. It includes input data such as steam flow rate and temperatures. It then calculates the heat load, cooling water requirements, tube dimensions, heat transfer coefficient, required surface area, number of tubes needed, condenser diameter and pressure drop based on given parameters and HEI equations. The goal is to determine the design specifications for the condenser to meet the heating requirements.

Condenser Design Calculation (According to HEI

Input Data:

1 Mass flow rate = 1319510


2 Steam inlet pressure = 0.102
3 Steam inlet temperature = 45.836
4 Given enthalpy = 568.33
5 Saturated enthalpy of the liquid = 45.816
6 Saturated enthalpy of the vapour = 617.21
7 Cooling water velocity = 2.15
8 Dryness fraction = 0.91
9 Cooling water inlet temperature = 33
10 Cooling water outlet temperature = 43
11 Temperature difference = 10
13 Allowable pressure drop on tube side = 0.5
14 Cleanliness factor = 0.9
15 Tube MOC = SS 304

Calculation:

Heat load calculation ( Q )

Heat load on the condenser = 749917118


Actual heat load on the condenser = 753960096.94
Drains connection heat load = 12500
Total heat load = 753972596.94
Cooling water flow rate = 75397260
Density of cooling water at mean temp. = 1000
Total cooling water requirement QW = 75397.26
Tube OD = 19.05
Tube thickness BWG = 0.89
Tube ID = 17.27
Cross sectional area of the tube = 0.000234332

LMTD calculation
Temperature difference ( TR ) = 10
Initial temperature difference ( ITD ) = 13
Terminal temperature difference ( TTD ) = 2.836
LMTD = TR / ln (ITD/TTD) = 6.62

Corrected heat transfer co-efficient(U) calculation

Uncorrected heat transfer co-efficient(U1) = 706.4


= 3448.6448
Tube material factor(Fm) = 0.82
Cleanliness factor(Fc) = 0.9
Water correction factor(Fw) = 1.079
Corrected heat tranfer co-efficient(U)
( U = U1 X Fm X Fc X Fw ) = 2746.16

Requirement of surface area ( A )

Total area required for heat transfer = 41453.93


( Q = U X A X LMTD )
Total number of tubes required = 41570.30
( QW = N X A X V )
Length of the tubes required = 16.6624
( A = Pi X d X N X L)
Diameter of the condenser required = 7474.9
D=Tube OD X sqrt(no of tubes / 0.27 )

Pressure drop across the condenser

P= Lt x (Rt x R2 x R1) + (Re1+Re2+Re3)
