# Industrial Specification: Condenser Shell/Body

## 1. Technical Definition
The outer structural housing that contains and supports the internal components of a vent condenser.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-25 bar internal pressure, -40°C to 200°C temperature**. Failure boundary: **Yield strength exceeded at 28 bar internal pressure or 250°C thermal stress**, Mechanism: **Von Mises stress exceeding 250 MPa yield strength of carbon steel SA-516 Grade 70, causing plastic deformation and eventual rupture**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |

- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are available for condenser shells?
**A**: Our condenser shells are manufactured in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel to meet various industrial requirements for corrosion resistance, strength, and temperature tolerance.

### Q: What components are included in a standard condenser shell BOM?
**A**: A standard bill of materials includes the shell plate, head/end caps, flange connections, support saddles or lugs, and nozzles or openings for piping integration.

### Q: How do I select the right condenser shell for my equipment?
**A**: Consider factors like operating pressure, temperature, corrosion environment, and compatibility with internal condenser components. We provide custom engineering support to match your specifications.
