Barometric Condenser

Swenson can supply direct contact barometric condensers when condensate recovery and cooling water quality are not issues.

Swenson can supply the condenser directly mounted on top of the vapor body. A short piece of vertical pipe connects the vapor body with the condenser to minimize piping and pressure drop. This design also eliminates structural steel for support of a separate condenser. For cooling tower applications, the hotwell is elevated to permit gravity flow of water from the hotwell to the top of the cooling tower, thus eliminating the need for a pump.
