Open Heat Exchanger Design and Operation
Learning objectives
- Describe the operation of open heat exchangers
- Recall the purposes of a deaerator
- Identify the location of a deaerator in a typical condensate system
- Describe the operational characteristics of each of the following types of deaerators:
- Spray-type
- Tray-type
- Spray-and-tray-type
Course overview
When you complete this lesson, you will be able to explain how open heat exchangers use direct contact to heat condensate and remove non-condensable gases from the condensate. In addition, you will be able to describe the three basic types of open heat exchangers and the operational characteristics of each.
