Shell & Tube Condensate Heater
The Shell & Tube Condensate Heater; commonly known as a Duplex Heater is a high-efficiency liquid-liquid heat exchanger used for juice heating prior to clarification in sugar processing plants. The multi-pass arrangement makes the heat exchanger more compact requires less footprint area for its installation. The truly countercurrent flow of juice and condensate enhances the overall heat transfer coefficient and reduces the operational heating surface. Built to handle varying flow rates and thermal loads, the multi-pass heater offers better thermal efficiency, reduces steam consumption and heat rejection.
Howit works
To maximize the condensate heat recovery the condensate heaters are installed in series.
The juice inlet and outlet arrangement remain same as in conventional heaters.
Juice remains inside the tubes and condensate flows outside the tubes.
Juice and condensate flow ensures countercurrent flow to maximize the heat transfer coefficient.
The juice and condensate flow through multiple passes, guided by baffles.
As the juice travels, it continuously contacts heated tubes, absorbing thermal energy.
The multi-pass layout increases surface contact.
It operates at a lower approach temperature < 70C
Why IsIt Needed?
Maximize condensate heat recovery by juice heating.
Improves energy efficiency, reducing steam consumption.
Due to compact in size, it needs less space for required heating surface area.
No heat rejection to cooling tower and surplus cooled condensate remains available for make-up.
Ensures more vapour availability from later effects for other consumers.
