Vertical condenser is advantageous to the horizontal condenser from operation point of view, when________________?
Correct answer: C. Both the functions of condensation & sub cooling are carried out in a single unit
- A. Hydrostatic head is required for refluxing the condensate
- B. Only the function of condensation is to be carried out
- C. Both the functions of condensation & sub cooling are carried out in a single unit
- D. Sub-cooling of condensate is desired
Explanation
A vertical condenser permits condensate to flow downward by gravity, allowing condensation and subsequent sub-cooling in the same unit. It can also provide the liquid head needed for reflux, which is why the combined condition is preferred.
