Methods to check and prevent air infiltration into condensers
- Estimated study time: 30 minutes
Study resources
- Air Leakage – Effects, Detection & Prevention (Article) — Covers sources of air infiltration, effects on condenser performance (raised back pressure, reduced heat transfer), methods to detect/prevent leakage, and air pump capacity calculation.
- Condenser & Vacuum Efficiencies, Cooling Water (Article) — Detailed coverage of condenser efficiency, vacuum efficiency, cooling water calculations (Dalton's law), effect of air leakage on back pressure (increases back pressure >10%), and vacuum gauge readin…
