An MS (Mild Steel) Condenser is a type of heat exchanger commonly used in industrial processes to condense vapors into liquid form. range from 10sqr.m to 25, 30sqr.m
MS Condenser Description:
An MS Condenser is fabricated using mild steel, a cost-effective and durable material suited for non-corrosive applications. The condenser operates by transferring heat from a vapor (often steam or chemical vapors) to a cooling medium, usually water or air, thus turning the vapor into liquid.
Key Features:
Material: Mild Steel (MS) shell and tubes (sometimes with copper or stainless steel tubes depending on thermal needs).
Design: Typically shell-and-tube or coil-type.
Function: Converts hot vapor into liquid through cooling.
Applications: Used in chemical plants, refineries, power plants, and distillation units.

Advantages:
Economical compared to stainless steel.
Strong mechanical properties.
Easy to fabricate and weld.

Limitations:
Susceptible to corrosion in acidic or saline environments.
Lower thermal conductivity than copper or stainless steel.MS Condenser – Technical Specification
