Process of Evaporator and Condenser Coils To Cool

1. Temperature Measurements in Distillation Processes In industrial distillation equipment cooling and heating operations, temperature monitoring is a typical control parameter. Temperature control can be used to chill distillate to condense high volatility products into liquid phase, or it can be used to heat process fluid to evaporate high volatility components for better separation, depending on the application and process fluid. Temperature control is linked to product quality, process optimization, and stability, which leads to increased plant safety and lower energy costs. Understanding the necessity of temperature measurement, despite its seeming simplicity, is important to running a distillation column at maximum efficiency. www.alaquainc.com

2. Cooling Procedures for Distillation • Cooling towers are air-cooled systems that cool water by transferring heat directly from the air to the water. To reduce the temperature of the water, cooling towers bring air and water into close contact. A little amount of water evaporates as the temperature of the water drops, lowering the temperature of the water flowing through the tower. Water heated by other processes is pumped to the cooling tower and sprayed through nozzles to form minute droplets, exposing more of the water's surface area for maximum air-water interaction. The water can then be distributed throughout the plant after it has cooled. It can be used to power plant equipment or sent to boilers to generate steam for processes like distillation columns. • The temperature of the cooling water is monitored in cooling towers by thermocouples or RTD sensors. A controller regulates fan speed to expedite the cooling process by facilitating evaporation of the water droplets while ensuring that no electrical energy is wasted by running the fan faster than needed.  www.alaquainc.com

3. Distilling Hot Fractions • The temperature of the heating elements in distillation columns is monitored and controlled. The boiling point is controlled at specific heights inside the column by varying the temperature vertically, allowing fractions to be collected for further processing. The rebuilder heats the process fluids inside the column. Steam jackets are also utilized in many columns to keep the vessel's temperature profile constant. • The temperature of the process fluid inside the column is measured using multiple temperature sensors installed in situ. By opening and closing control valves to inject additional heated process vapors from the rebuilder or steam into the steam jacketing, the sensors' outputs are used to maintain the column's temperature profile and manage the heating of the process vapors. • RTDs have become the industry standard for distillation columns, much like they have for cooling systems. When temperatures are higher than 1,472°F [800°C], thermocouples are employed. www.alaquainc.com

4. Conclusion Finally, appropriate temperature measurement and control procedures are essential for distillation and fractionation processes to run efficiently, safely, and profitably. In cooling processes, thermocouples and RTDs can be interchanged, but at higher temperatures, it's important to use the proper sensor.
