: Overead Condenser
: Generic ADU
Short Name: Condenser
Description: The Heat is removed from the Column through the Overhead Condenser and a number of Pump-Around Circuits, typically three. The Column Overhead Vapor passes through Heat Exchangers where it cools and condenses. A portion of the Condensed Liquid is returned to the Top of the Column at a lower temperature. The Pump-Around Circuit draws Liquid from a certain Tray, cools the Liquid in Heat Exchangers and returns the Liquid to a Tray above the original Tray at a lower temperature. The Pump-Around Circuit is characterized by the Withdraw Tray, the Return Tray, the mass flow rate and the return temperature.
