Condensation System: Cooling Capacity 10-100 kW

Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized industrial condensation system designed for vacuum cooling tunnels that rapidly condenses and removes water vapor generated during the flash cooling process. This system maintains the required vacuum pressure by continuously removing moisture from the chamber, enabling efficient cooling of food products through evaporation while preventing pressure buildup.

Working Principle

Operates on the principle of vapor condensation through temperature differential. As warm, moisture-laden air from the vacuum chamber passes through the condenser, it contacts cooled surfaces (typically refrigerant-cooled coils or plates) where water vapor condenses into liquid form. The condensed water is then collected and drained, while dry air may be recirculated or exhausted, maintaining the vacuum pressure required for efficient cooling.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 304/316) for corrosion resistance, copper or aluminum for heat exchange surfaces, food-grade seals and gaskets (EPDM or silicone), and insulated housing materials.
