Maximum temperature on interconnecting streams
Maximum temperature on interconnecting streams
(OP)
Hello all,
can anyone tell me what is maximum allowable temperature in interconnecting streams between units at refinery?
We are trying to utilise heat form some streams, but to do that, we have to send them accros plant to another units thath have unused steam generators.
Is there any standard where I can find limitation for max temeprature, if there is one?
Thank you in advance for help

RE: Maximum temperature on interconnecting streams
It will depend on what the two streams were independently designed for in the original (unconnected) service. They might have been the same of course, but the lower-rating of the two is going to control unless you can absolutely guarantee that the lower-rated system will NEVER see the higher temperature by back-flow or mis-aligned valves or windmilling pumps.
