Hello my friends!

PLZ HELP ME!!!

Why we don't use compressor instead of condenser in distillation tower by reducing the pressure for condensing the vapor??

It is not clear to me from your question what you want to achieve with the compressor.  Sometimes compressors are used for the vapors from distillation columns, and more often for the vapor from evaporators.  Do a search for "mechanical vapor recompression" and perhaps you will find your answer that way.

I think it s because a compressor consumes way more energy than a cooler

The process functions of distillation tower top condenser is to produce reflux liquid for the tower upper section liquid/vapor phase equilibrium or condensate product.  How do you complete the process function with a compressor?
