A method is proposed for designing a condensation system used in the heat treatment of mercury-bearing galvanic cells. Two forms of condenser are considered: a tube-in-tube type and a jacketed tube type. An example is given of calculating the heat-transfer coefficient for the gas in the condenser on the basis of the flow character and the simultaneous action of thermal conduction and the directions of forced and free convection.
