HELLO!

I WANTED TO KNOW ABT THE WORKING OF BAROMETRIC CONDENSERS,AS WELL AS THEIR DESIGN.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY PUBLICATION OR ARTICLE IN THIS REGARD,IT WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

Hello, Binzee

Graham-MFG website has an excellent technical library about vacuum systems equipment.
Find at:

Hi Binzee

You can look for the book: Process Vacuum Design & Operation written bt James L. Ryans and Daniel L. Roper.
Chapter 7 talks about condensers and in page 184 you will find how to size direct contact condensers.

dear all,

i can say that barometric condensers are working at vacuum conditions (pressure below atmospheric). based on the operating pressure in the condenser they are elevated at more height than the normal condensers. since the condenser is at low pressure it can not discharge the condensate to the atmosphere. hence the condenser is elevated at such a height that the hydraulic head is sufficient to generate a pressure above the atmospheric pressure plus the head loss due to friction in the barometric leg.

regards.
