The principal feature of the Barometric Condenser is that injection water may be discharged through a tail pipe by gravity, without requiring a pump. The Barometric Condenser is employed in a variety of industries as an economical means of removing air, exhaust steam, and other vapors from vacuum equipment.
(simplest design of all barometric condensers, and requires no auxiliary air pump or pre-cooler and used where load conditions are constant and there is little air leakage)
(employed where large capacities are required and where wide fluctuations in water temperature or steam load occur)
(developed primarily to solve condensing problems where water supply is limited, where water temperatures are high in relation to vacuum requirements, or where a large volume of non-condensables must be removed)
(where water supply is limited or an excessive amount of non-condensables requires the use of a separate vacuum pump, and local conditions necessitate a side vapor inlet)
Remove air from vacuum equipment; Exhaust steam and other vapors; Condensing vapors in evaporators and vacuum pans; Condense steam or hot air in thermal plants; Desuperheat and condense incoming vapors and cool existing gases; Condense steam and condensable vapors through heat exchangers; Remove condensable vapors; Condensate recovery; Vacuum pump; Mixing process vapors with cooling water; High level jet condenser; Deliver condensate to hot well; Condense water and non-condensables; Condense vapor off syrup or massecuite in sugar industry; Remove air and other gases in vacuum pans; Reduction of fats, oil, and greases; Flash chamber arrangement
