Abstract: <FORM:0921492/III/1> <FORM:0921492/III/2> An air-cooled condenser for a distillation column comprises at least two condenser-elements (there are four elements 3, 3a, 4, 4a in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2) each element being made up of finned tubes 5 mounted between upper and lower headers 6, 7, and connections for leading the vapours from the top of the column into the lower headers 7.  Fans 17, 17a are arranged at openings 16, 16a in cover 15, and draw air through the condenser-elements in the direction X.  This cooling air stream is regulated so that the condensation-temperature can be made independent of fluctuations in temperature of the outer air.  The fans are driven by electric motors 20, 20a, and the rate of rotation may be controlled automatically by a thermostat responsive to the temperature of the condensate in the lower end-chambers 7. Alternatively, the rate of rotation of the fans can be adjusted in accordance with the pressure in the upper end-chambers 6.  The strength of the cooling air stream may also be controlled by automatically-adjustable baffles at the suction side of the fans or between the tubes of the condenser elements. The main condensate is collected in a liquid-trap 9, which has a take-off pipe 11.  Part of the condensate is returned to the head of the column via conduit 12, and part is withdrawn from the system via conduit 13, the proportions being automatically controlled by valve 14 which is regulated in accordance with the temperature of the condensate.  Another possibility is the automatic control of valve 14 in accordance with the pressure in upper end-chambers 6.  Inert gases, together with a minor proportion of the vapours, pass out of headers 6 and flow, via conduit 28, into aftercoolers 23, 23a.  The inert gases and the condensate, formed in the aftercoolers, are withdrawn from the system by suction applied to connections 30, 30a.
