High Temp Water Heating System (over 500F)
High Temp Water Heating System (over 500F)
(OP)
I am working on a project that will include a high temperature water closed loop to perform heating. The design temperature and pressure is currently established at 2,500 psig / 650 degF. (This high temperature is driven by the process that is being heated.) I have found various resources that discuss up to 440 deg F, but nothing up to the aforementioned pressure/temperature. In particular, the issue is managing the expansion/pressurization of the fluid loop via N2.
If anyone could point to any references or share past project experience, it would be much appreciated.

It may be possible to manage expansion drum blanketing with HP N2 bottles at 3000psig, provided one can size the drum and set the drum levels so that level fluctuations in the drum ( due to thermal expansion of the entire system contents) can be kept lower than the setting of the drum outbreathing PCV.
