Summary
Two general-purpose CFD codes were employed to examine flow patterns in the upper header of a model condenser unit, and optimise the placement of a deflector plate to ensure an even flow distribution to the condenser tubes. Results are compared against experimental data. Aerosol tracking calculations have also been performed, to investigate deposition and re-entrainment behaviour.
