Abstract
The selection of the most suitable type of condensers and reboilers within given restraints of operating conditions (usually a compromise between conflicting requirements) is a crucial problem in proper design. Even with the use of sophisticated computer programs, this shall remain an engineering-experience decision. The main elements of selection are shell types, inside versus outside tube flow, vertical versus horizontal orientation, plain or finned tubes, ease and frequency of cleaning, start-up conditions, etc. Guidelines are presented for the application of the latest research in condensation and boiling to obtain the most effective design.
