Exchanger Exemption
Exchanger Exemption
(OP)
Hi,
Can a shell and tube heat exchanger below duty of 200,000 BTU/hr used to heat water to 75ºC with high temperature steam be exempted from ASME code requirements?
Thanks,
Mehak

RE: Exchanger Exemption
Does the hot water side of the heat exchanger design temperature and pressure meet the requirements of this section? Even if this is not considered a pressure vessel under this section, is tube rupture something you need to protect against? I would also want to check with the government or state regulatory people if that applies in your location.
