ABSTRACT
The paper discusses the need of some effective heat exchange in the vacuum system for the effective cooling of the suction vapours of the process. Vacuum system is a combination of vacuum pumps, mechanical boosters and condenser. Such system is used in pharmaceutical, chemical and process industries. Vacuum being very crucial for processes the efficiency of plant depends on the operating parameters of vacuum system. This study discusses the results obtained by testing of vacuum system alternatively with conventional shell & tube heat exchanger and plate heat exchanger. On the basis of it the cost implication and effectiveness of both heat exchangers are highlighted
