Coil Condensers, Information

COIL CONDENSERS, INFORMATION 

Composed completely of glass, coil heat exchangers are typically used as vapor condensers and liquid coolers. They are usually designed and installed as an integral part of a vertical column. To provide a reliable corrosion resistant internal seal, the coil battery is sealed to the jacket, creating a single unit. Boilers and immersion heaters are also available in this all-glass coil design.

Other Designs
We also offer glass cascade coolers, bayonet and jacketed-type heat exchangers. For further information on these special application models, please contact us.

Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
We also offer a wide range of shell and tube heat exchangers ranging from 13.5 to 505 sq. ft., all capable of modular expansion. For further information on these units go to the heat exchanger page, or contact us.

Technical Data
Heat Transfer in Condensers
The heat transferred in coil condensers con be considered generally as 55 Btu/hr-ft2-°F for any unit. This figure may vary from 10 to 72 Btu/hr-ft2-°F depending on the fluids involved and the operating conditions.
