Pharmaceutical Condenser Design

During the 1990s many outside factors influenced the proper design of overhead condensers for pharmaceutical installations. The FDA, EPA, product costs, downtime costs, and global competition have all affected today’s condenser designs. The FDA has been a major factor with validation, contamination and CGMP regulations. Today’s condensers need to be totally non-contaminating. This means there can be no way for the service side fluid to contaminate the process.
