High pressure tank with two inlets
High pressure tank with two inlets
(OP)
Dear all colleagues,
I am evaluating the pressure of a closed tank with these conditions:
Two inlets condensate,
first entry: 30 psi, 6600 lbs/hr
second entry: 90 psi, 2200 lbs/hr
Tank volume: 50 gal
Level : half of the tank
outlet: condensate only at the bottom, the steam "stays" in the tank.
Does anybody have experience in a similar situation? I will appreciate any comment.
Thank you in advance,
Kin99

You need to vent the pipe to atmosphere. The "tank must be a robust pressure vessel, designed to ASME VIII or a similar vessel code and your inlets should be tangential to the shell of the tank.
I have always found these people to be very helpful:
