Shell-and-tube condensers for steam (KOND)

Shell-and-tube condensers for steam (KOND)

Design of shell-and-tube condensers for steam

KOND module package

Basis

The theory is based on the correlations found in the VDI Heat Atlas, the HEDH (Heat Exchanger Design Handbook), and various research papers.

Program features:

The KOND program is based on the WTS program and needs that program for the calculation. Therefore, the operation of KOND is almost identical.

The KOND program serves for the calculation of shell-and-tube condensers with desuperheating, condensation and subcooling zones. No subcooling of the condensate is calculated for horizontal condensers with shell-side condensation. The condensation can either take place around the tubes or in the tubes but is restricted to water vapour.

KOND can only calculate condensers with one tube side pass.

Specific program features:

Thermal and hydraulic calculation of shell-and-tube heat exchangers for condensation of steam. The cooling medium must be single-phase.
Detailed tube sheet generation.
Optimization of new exchangers sized according to standard dimensions
Performance check through multidimensional parameter studies in graphic or tabular form
Data interface to MS-Excel permits user-defined specification sheets
Design using customer's own standard tube sheet configuration
Heat transfer correction for unequal baffle spacing at inlet and outlet

Scope of delivery:

Module package WTS and KOND as extension.

With the SPIE module in the KOND program the following features are available:

Generation of tube sheet and baffle configurations
Creation of a user-specific tube sheet configurations library
CAD interface

Price for KOND as an extension of WTS: 400 EUR plus VAT
