A PROJECT REPORT ON
DESIGN OF CONDENSER FOR WORT KETTLE
Introduction
The brew house is the house where beer production starts. A wort
kettle is one of the machines (tank) used for boiling the wort at
85-95 ºC and the steam is discharged to the environment as
waste.
A condenser is a device that converts vapor to liquid. There are
different types of condensers but we design surface condenser
(shell and tube type of condenser).
The steam enters the shell side and the cooling water enters the
tube side. The steam temperature decreases from 85 to 55 ºC and
the cooling water temperature increase from 20 to 45 ºC.
At the end of condensation, the condensed steam and hot water
mixture enter the hot water tank at a temperature of 50 ºC then
the process keeps cycling.
Statement of the problem
Bedele brewery factory has many production rooms. Brew
house, packaging house, and yeast room get steam from the
utility.
In utility, the steam produced by boiling water, fuel, butane
gas, and air. The materials that used to get steam has economic
losses for the factory.
For this reason, the company needs searching a way of reusing
the steam liberated as a waste from the wort kittle and save
potential losses that comes from improper energy utilization.
Objective
General Objective
The general objective of the project is to design of surface
condenser for wort kettle.
Specific Objective
To design both mechanical parts and thermal aspects of
the condenser
To calculate different parameters of shell and tube
condenser
To calculate the cost of the designed condenser and the
cost-saving due to the presence of the condenser
Scope of the study
The project’s scope includes the selection of
material up to design and data gathering to recover
the evaporated water and the amount of energy used.
Methodology
METHOD
We have used different methods for designing this condenser in identifying and
solving the problem.
Starting from data gathering to detailed mathematical calculations, such as
temperature, pressure, time, volume and flow rate readings from displays of the
plant equipment
As well as using references and literatures for economic analysis and deep
design calculations.
ELEMENTS OF A CONDENSER PLANT
We use different elements to get condensed steam and hot water.
These are:
A Condenser
Hot water tank
A Pump supplies cooling water to the condenser
Supply of cooling water tank
A Pump to remove the condensed steam from the condenser
PROCESS DESCRIPTION IN EACH
ELEMENT
The steam, which has 2.4 bar of pressure and 85 º C of temperature,
enters the condenser at the shell side.
The cooling water from the cool water tank, which has a temperature of
20 º C, enters the tube side of the condenser by using a pump. Cooling
water circulates in the condenser by extracting the heat from the steam
and the steam will be converted to water.
The cooling water becomes warm water (45 ºC) by the process of
conduction. The warm water leaves at the top of the condenser and enter
into the hot water tank.
The steam becomes condensed steam (55 ºC) and at the bottom of the
condenser, we remove condensed steam by using a pump
Finally, the mixture of warm water (45 ºC) and condensed steam (55 ºC)
both enter the hot water tank and the temperature becomes 50 ºC that is
needed for the process.

Using condensed steam Using steam from boiler
RECOMMENDATION
we want to recommend that:-
• -The company can minimize the electrical energy power by using steam energy power
to minimize the electric energy power the company should design a turbine by
participating engineers or else can install it by buying. The generated steam from wort
kettle fed to a single turbine, it generates electricity, and it increases profitability of
the company.
• -The mixture of warm water (45 ºC) and condensed steam (55 ºC) both enter the hot
water tank and the temperature becomes 50 ºC that needed for the process (50-60 ºC).
However, if the company think the temperature is not enough the company can install
wort pre-heater by using hot condensate.
