Metro Horizontal Shell and Tube Ammonia Condensers are available in different sizes in varying capacities ranging from 5 to 250 T.R for any given operating conditions. Baffles in the water heads are provided so as to have the desired number of passes.
Each and every Condenser is provided with vapour inlet, liquid outlet and oil drain connections. Safety valve, water drain and air purge cocks are supplied as standard accessories.
Construction Features
Superior Design
Metro condensers combine heavy duty construction and efficient design principles for reliable and high capacity performance.
Tube Spacing
Tubes are arranged for uniform gas distribution, providing maximum heat transfer for a given quantity of water.
Water Head Interchangeability
Tube layout and condenser fabrication permit complete interchangeability of water heads, allowing a quick field change of water passes.
Complete Line of heavy duty, high capacity Metro Condensers permit the selection of a condenser most suitable for any specified operating conditions.
Shell
Ammonia vapours enter the shell and get condensed by rejecting the heat to the circulating water. Smaller diameter shells are of E.R.W type, shells larger in diameter are fabricated from flange quality larger carbon steel plate.
Connections
Companion flanges are furnished for vapour inlet and liquid outlet vales. Water connections for smaller condensers are threaded, larger condensers are provided with flanged connections (connections are sealed with welded end plates for shipment).
Test Pressure
Hydrostatic test pressure is 26.4 kg /sq cm gauge (375 psig).
Finish
Special finish with rust preventive primer.
