Mixing condensers and surface condensers

The choice of condenser plays a decisive role in the process design. It is based on criteria such as separation of cooling water and process media, tendency to contamination, material design and mechanical design.

Mixing condensers

In Körting mixing condensers condensation of the vapours takes place in direct contact with the cooling water.

Surface condensers

In surface condensers there is no direct contact between the vapours to be condensed and the cooling water.
