Question 3 :
What will be the quantity of energy (in [kWh]) restored by the condensation of 3 tonnes of saturated vapour,

Question 2:
What will be the flow rate of condensates in [litres/h], discharged at 85 [°C] (185°F), from an exchanger of
1,200 [kW], supplied with vapour at 6 [bar]?
11. 11
Q1: We have vapour available at 4 [bar]. We want to heat 15 [m3
/h] of water in an exchanger from 70 [°C] to
110 [°C] (158°F to 230°F).
With condensates discharging at 80 [°C] (176°F), what vapour flow rate will be required?
Before doing the calculation the problem will be represented in the diagram below, with all the data.
Q2 : On the horizontal vapour/water exchanger below, indicate the vapour inlet, the condensates outlet and
the water inlet/outlet.

Q3 : 45 [m3
/h] of water at 45 [°C] (140°F) is heated in a vapour/water exchanger supplied by 1.5 [t/h] of
vapour at 8 [bar].
Knowing that the condensates are discharged at 85 [°C] (185°F), calculate the water outlet temperature of the
exchanger (after having represented the data on the diagram below).

Question 1:
15,000 [m3
/h] of air at -10 [°C] (14°F) is heated by a coil supplied with 220 [kg/h] of vapour at 4 [bar].
The coil is clogged and the condensates are discharged at abnormally high temperatures of 135 [°C] (275°F).
After having represented the problem on the image below, calculate to what the temperature the air is heated.
Question 2:
We have cleaned the coil from the previous exercise, thereby increasing its thermal exchange with the air.µ
The condensates are now discharged at 55 [°C] (131°F).
Supposing that the vapour and air flow rates remain the same, to what new temperature is the air heated ?
