Cooling Water Return Pressure of H/E
Cooling Water Return Pressure of H/E
(OP)
Most of engineer told me that the pressure of cooling water return pressure should not be too low (generally higher than 1BarG).I believe it is correct, but I don't know why, can anyone tell me.





RE: Cooling Water Return Pressure of H/E
The impact would be to add restrictions and limit circulation flow.
I once work at a unit that experienced a tube rupture.
The cooling tower basis filled with Styrene.
Someone in the process business may have a practice to elevated return header pressures to direct fluid flow in event of tube failure.
But I have never heard of this practice.
Cant' think of any other reasons
