Water-cooled condenser

Washing Condenser For separation tasks in which the residue is to be depleted to very low residual content of volatiles, thermodynamic limits exist. It can then be seen that hardly any process parameter can be further adjusted which might result in an improvement of product quality. The evaporation temperature is often already at the upper admissible limit so as to ensure that no additional stress is placed on thermally sensitive products, process pressure is already at the lowest possible technical limit, and even an increase in evaporation surface does not help the situation. And this is where help can be provided by the washing condenser patented by UIC. The internal condenser is continuously wetted with liquid in which distillate dissolves, in a Short Path Distillator with washing condenser. The resultant effect of the vapor pressure reduction on the condenser side brings about a shifting of the distillation impetus (vapor pressure difference between evaporator and condenser) in favor to the distillation so that lower residual content is achieved in the residue and improved product qualities generated in otherwise identical working conditions. Since the wash fluid circulates and only requires partial replacement, favorable economical conditions for application of the washing condenser normally prevail. The UIC washing condenser is excellent for the removal of unwanted, partially highly toxic components in oils and fats.
