Condenser Calculation

This document provides specifications and calculations for designing a surface condenser according to HEI standards. It includes input parameters like steam flow rate, pressures, temperatures, material specifications. It then calculates the heat load, cooling water requirements, LMTD, heat transfer coefficient, required surface area, number of tubes, tube length and diameter required for the condenser. It also calculates the expected pressure drop across the condenser.
