Rollfin Rekar Make Shell & Tube Condenser
Performance
Design & Material
REFKAR Shell&Tube Condensers are designed in order to minimize performance decreasing factors such as vibration and corrosion. RKMDEW series Shell&Tube condensers are designed and manufactured as resistant to corrosive effects of sea water. Materials used in REFKAR Shell&Tube Condensers are selected according to “European Pressure Vessel Codes”. Materials used in REFKAR shell&tube type evaporators are chosen in complience with “European Pressure Vessel Codes”
RKDEW Shell&Tube Condensers;
a) Heat transfer pipes with a special geometry and inside and outside grooves enabling the heat transfer are made of copper
b) Tube sheets and bodies are made of steel
c) Head Covers are made of cast iron
d) Bolts are made of steel alloy
e) Gaskets are made of asbestos free materials that are compatible with HCFC and HCF cooling gases.
Fouling Factor
Fouling factor (f.f.) is important in selecting an condenser. The fouling factor levels under certain conditions are given below.
Closed-circuit mains water f.f.= 0.000043 m2K/W
Open-circuit mains water f.f.= 0.000086 m2K/W
Glycol solution < %40 f.f.= 0.000086 m2K/W
Glycol solution > %40 f.f.= 0.000172 m2K/W
