The best solution would be to exhaust into a hotwell, below the liquid level. Just make sure you don't submerge the exhaust pipe too deep or you will get excessive back-pressure.
If there is no sump/hotwell, you are best off pointing the discharge upwards, and then have a drain off the bottom...
information required:
1. Motive fluid and pressure... given as 150 psig steam.
2. Suction fluid type and pressure + temperature. Say air at 14.5 psia?
3. Expected flow rate of suction gas, in #/hr.
4. Discharge pressure. Say 15.5 psia?
That will enable any vendor to specify the ejector...
Can anyone recommend some good software to accurately calculate pressure drop for steam over pipelines? I don't mind spending for it, but it must be able to take into account some pretty complex geometry.
The major packages like Aspen have thousands of fluids that I don't need.
thanks!
I am having trouble interpreting the NACE MR0175 specification. I have equipment made of carbon steel (516 GR 60 plate as well as A105N forgings) and also some stainless steel barstock (SS316).
I think I understand the carbon steel requirement: as long as hardness is within limit, the Nickel...
