WATER COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS
WATER COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS
(OP)
Hello all,
Are there any limitations for the process fluid inlet temperature to be cooled with cooling tower water, for example can we cool a process stream at 120 C with water at 30 C ?
regards,

Hot cooling water exchangers can foul faster. From my experience 120 C is a little hot for process inlet to a cooling water exchanger, but I have seen it done with good long term reliability.
This is highly dependent on your water chemistry. If you run too many cycles hot exchangers are more susceptible to plating out scale.
