Title:
RE-DIRECTION OF VAPOR FLOW ACROSS TUBULAR CONDENSERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/126685
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Vapor flow-diverting devices that re-direct upwardly flowing vapor, for example, in a downward direction across condenser tubes disposed in the upper or top section of a vapor-liquid contacting apparatus, are described. These devices are particularly beneficial in tubular condensers within distillation columns and may be used in combination with other associated equipment (e.g., a deflector plate and divider plate) as well as in combination with the tube surface enhancements to improve the heat transfer coefficient.
