TEMPERATURE FOR FULL VACUUM DESIGN
TEMPERATURE FOR FULL VACUUM DESIGN
(OP)
Hello all and happy new year,
In designing shell and tube heat exchangers (which are considered pressure vessels, so the question refers also to pressure vessels): what are the criterias or guidelines or rules for specifying the temperature at which full vacuum design mechanical calculation will be performed?
regards,
roker

RE: TEMPERATURE FOR FULL VACUUM DESIGN
What temperatures are you operating at? What materials are you using?

Specify full vacuum if:
1) Equipment is steamed out (only some companies).
2) Equipment may be subject to vacuum conditions during an operating cycle:
-- If evacuated during startup.
-- If vacuum can develop as a result of heat loss.
3) The corresponding temperature at full vacuum is a standard value (company specs) or the normal operating temperature.
