SSC Series
Subcooled Condensers
The SSC, Sanitary Subcooled Condenser is a patent pending sanitary condensate chamber and steam
trap assembly that was designed to replace the
12-18" downcomer (drip leg) traditionally installed
between SIP temperature sensors and sanitary steam
traps. It is ASME BPE 2007 compliant, being constructed of ASTM A479 316L barstock, fully drainable, and polished to SF1, 20 Ra µin (0,5 Ra µm), or
optionally to SF5, 20 Ra µin electropolished.
OperatiOn
As spent condensate and wet stream exit sterilized
process tubing or equipment, the SSC rapidly removes enthalpy, subcooling the condensate below it's
saturation temperature. As the cooler
condensate enters the sanitary steam trap, it causes
the trap bellows to contract. The contracted bel-
lows opens the trap orice further allowing greater
amounts of condensate to exit the system.
Patent Pending
CRN13987.5
The nned-chamber geometry of the SSC offers
the best available technology for insuring rapid SIP
heat-up and uninterrupted hold cycles, while
offering a more economical alternative (re: space utilization and capital costs) to conventional downcomer
designs.

Project CAPex savings on new, or retrot installations
• The SSC can signicantly reduce Project CAPex by reducing SIP temperature sensor/trap assembly TIC
(total installed cost), by reducing the cost for OEM process skids, or for retrot and new site built installa-
tions. The savings accrue from the SSC's smaller installed space envelope relative to traditional site built
SIP downcomer assemblies, and from the installation labor, materials handling and purchasing expense
reduction associated with the purchase of a prefabricated SSC SIP Assembly.
o
TIC (Total Installed Cost) reductions
— Signicant reductions in Installation Labor and Material Handling costs: Everything comes
preassembled sealed in tagged plastic bags: no on site material consolidation, staging, tube bending,
assembly, welding, polishing, or work inspection labor costs
— One purchase order for Tubing, Fittings, Valves, Temperature Sensor, and Steam Trap
o
Process skid capital cost reduction:
— Use of the SSC will result in up to 15" skid height reduction – lower overall process skid material
and labor costs
o
Process retrot capital cost reduction:
— SSC allows use of SIP steam trap/sensor in vertically constrained spaces (under vessels) without
altering vessel height or requiring thru-the-oor downcomers
How does the SSC reduce the installed space envelope required for SIP downcomer assemblies?
• The SSC reduces the lineal and vertical distance needed between the SIP temp sensor and the steam trap
by a minimum of 80%.
o
With the SSC, vertical head space is reduced by 15.6" if enduser practice calls for the industry preferred
18" lineal - vertical downcomer. For 18" - 12" vertical, bent tube installations, the savings are 9.6".
o
With the SSC, vertical head space reductions on 12" vertical tube downcomer (industry minimum lineal
distance) assemblies is also 9.6". See installations.

Increased Process Availability
• The SSC increases process equipment availability by reducing average annual SIP time. The device
dramatically reduces the probability of SIP wetted temperature sensor faults, and total heat-up time.
The SSC design makes it impossible for spent condensate to touch (cool) the SIP temperature sensor
upstream of the trap under expected load conditions. And, it ensures that condensate cannot cool (and
insulate) critical process areas that are being sterilized during heat-up or temperature hold periods.
The SSC increases the volumetric condensate holding capacity immediately upstream of the trap
o
by 4 times that of the industry's typical 3/4", 18" lineal sanitary tubing downcomer, and 6 times
the industry's minimum recommended 12" downcomer. This compact, extra capacity ensures
that spent condensate is completely removed from the temperature sensor area, and from the
tubing, vessel, or process equipment being sterilized.
The SSC provides more than 5 times the effective cooling capacity than the typical 3/4", 18"
o
lineal sanitary downcomer. Condensate entering the trap is thoroughly subcooled regardless of
the steam traps subcooling performance. This ensures that the steam trap is fully open during the
high condensate load SIP heat-up, and during the ensuing lighter load, temperature hold period.

capability is clearly evident.

on high load, clean steam applications, such as bioreactor and fermentation vessels.
