The ‘Condensate pre-heater’ shown in the process circuit for the Killingholme combined cycle is a counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger heated by a heat transfer oil. In reality this would utilise waste heat from the heat recovery boiler but this has been simplified for the purposes of setting an assessment question, to just using hot oil. The heat transfer oil flows through the tubes and the condensate flows through the shell of the heat exchanger. The oil enters...
