Branch route lines from utility header piperack
Branch route lines from utility header piperack
(OP)
Hi,
I have to re-route a coolingwater line from a header pipe 12".
Current situation:
2" pipe, branch connection is located at the bottom of the header.
New situation:
3" pipe, same route but the process engineer wants the branch connection on the top of the header.
I know that steam lines are normaly located on the top of the header, but I don't know the basic design rules about a cooling water branch line. for example: < 2" on the top because of plugging and >2" on the bottom?
Thanks in advance,

The only things that ought to come off the bottom of a header are condensate and drains. And we know this because of many, many times somebody built something the easy way and created a system that regularly plugs up and/or 'eats' pumps.
