Good morning,
I'm involved in verification of an engineering subcontractor design of a column separation system where part of distillate is exported as vapour (0.1% wt vapour only): a pressure control is provided reflux drum vapor outlet line.
For column pressure control, they are proposing an hot bypass control schema with air cooler as condenser:
I'm quite surprised as, normally, for this schema the liquid at air condenser outlet is subcooled. However in subcontractor designer outlet is partially vaporized.
Does anyone has already seen applied such a scheme?
Thank you
A.
