avoided, including general wear of downstream piping and equipment,
long startup and shutdown times, and reduced process efficiency.
Desuperheater Working Principle/ Function:
The primary function of a desuperheater water heater is to minimize
the temperature of superheated gas and other vapors. This temperature
reduction is achieved by the process vapor being brought into direct
contact with a liquid such as water. The injected water is then
evaporated.
Desuperheater Design:
Double Walled “Tube in Tube ", vented, counter flow heat exchanger.
Vent tube having serrations on inner & outer surfaces to avoid cross
contamination of refrigerant and water/ fluid. Each tube has a tube inside
that allows water/ fluid to travel in an opposite direction.
Desuperheater Installation:
The Maniks Desuperheater Water Heater is placed before the condenser
and the oil separator. The ammonia refrigerant travels through the
different tubes in the to lower the refrigerant temperature before entering
the condenser. The Water heater is manufactured considering the hot
water requirements for industrial processes. When the needs of
refrigeration and hot water are not simultaneous, a "Recirculation" type
