Condensers use a medium such as air or water to absorb heat from a vapor. As the condensing medium begins to absorb the heat, the vapor’s temperature falls to its saturation point, at which point it condenses into a liquid. Our condensers are used in the petroleum and chemical industries to condense a variety of chemical vapors. Condensers are paramount in the chemical industry to ensure that dangerous chemicals are not released in the plant environment or atmosphere in a vapor state.

Enerquip’s condensers allow chemical reactions or mixtures to take place without evaporating off all of the liquids. Instead, the moisture from that chemical batch can be repurposed or disposed of in a safe manner. Enerquip’s exchangers ensure an efficient condensation process.

Most reboilers are made with shell and tube heat exchangers, which is why Enerquip is one of the leading partners in the chemical industry. Boiling liquid from the bottom of industrial distillation columns, reboilers generate vapors that are returned to the columns, driving distillation separation. The same heat from the reboiler at the bottom of the column is removed by the condenser at the top.

This distilling process is regularly used in industries that refine oil, desalinate water, create liquor, beer and wine, and produce many chemical products used in homes and factories.

Air Preheaters are mainly used in fossil fuel power plants for boiler efficiency. Combustion air is heated up by the thermal energy of flue gas, enhancing the combustion process. The purpose of a Preheater is to recover the heat from the boiler flue gas, helping to increase thermal efficiency by reducing the heat lost in the flue gas.

This also helps the plant have control over the temperature of gasses leaving their flue stack, helping them to meet emissions regulations.

Implementing heat recovery exchangers in your production process will help increase plant efficiency and decrease your energy costs and carbon footprint.  Using recovery heat exchangers and transferring heat into other process areas is a basic method to increase production of the plant or decrease fuel consumption.

When working with steam or hot water applications, economizers save energy by capturing waste heat from boiler gases and transferring it back into the boiler feed water.
