This column focuses on condenser splitting. But first, here’s a quick review of condenser flooding before covering condenser splitting to help all better understand both concepts and their advantages ...

This may not sound like much, but such improvement can be very valuable. In this first part of a two-part series, we will examine basic ideas behind the importance of condenser heat transfer, and in ...

While there is an industry-wide understanding that compromised condenser tubes reduce unit performance in the short term, the long-term effects of this neglect can be detrimental, forcing unplanned ...
