Confucius say: Look at what it takes to work on it....Buick may a car in the 1970's that had to have the engine lifted to change the spark plugs (actually only 2 of them).
So find out what pieces in your industry require renewal or other maintenance input from time to time; read up on the...
If you are making up liquid to a saturated vessel with a cycling valve you have a 2-phase topic...and likely condensation induced shock.
Is the upstream pipe colder than its surroundings and higher than the source liquid level? Is the immediate downstream above or below the operating liquid...
HSE is simply Health, Safety, Environmental.
H2S is highly corrosive and reactive; and on exposure to air makes H2SO4 which is sulphuric acid.
Sulphuric acid and any of a variety of metals make a battery. Corrosion plus water flow make nasty sediments. Finned coils turn into shallow mounds...
Actually blizzard would be pretty close.
Unless that 18-deg Air Stream is at less than about 8% Rel Humidity, this mix is going to be saturated or supersaturated and the outbound temperature is going to be higher than the pure mixed enthalpy numbers would indicate due to the latent of the...
Unless this a very strange form of tube, your pressure drop is entirely dynamic but...
The tube being same size end to end and same flow in as out: A PG on the entry side is connected to the tube and in the same fashion and orientation as other PG is connected on the outlet, the dynamic...
Evaporative Condenser? Or Water Cooled?
Evaporative, forced draft: at best you can estimate for "fully known" operating condiiton: That is run all the fans fulll speed, measure air dry bulb and wet bulb in and out, look up enthalpy change on a psychometric chart. Once you have heat, take out...
Air entrainment much more likely than saturation basis of NPSHR if this a ordinary cooling tower installation.
If you have something on suction side that represents a big restriction, air could be finding point of entry other than sump pipe stub..
Other than that: Lower and widen the pipe...
Choke refers to the device: An orifice can be considered Choked if a reduction in downstream pressure will not increase flow.
Critical refers to the fluid pressures (usually ratio) at the point at which the device becomes "choked"...For gases, the consequence of critical pressure difference...
That's a Refrigerating Specialties solenoid in all likelihood; and in a freeze-thaw environment, its very likely that it is shorting to the tube because the slight annular space between tube and innner bore is retaining some water while the coil is energized, which freezes when the coil is...
Seen this quite a few times...On DX coils and particularly where there is residual lubricant in the evaporator during defrost. Refrigerant evaporates, lube left behind, drainage from upper tube & fins hits cold oil and air near bottom, part of it wraps around bottom tubes, forms its own hard...
If your in-ground grid is going to be operating at fluid temp of minus 5 C. occasionally and you are thinking the PEX is going to expand: Consider that some of it will at least short term be surrounded by frozen ground; and that its always going to have to push ground around in order to expand...
How the machines lubricated and cooled? Are they slide valve machines or does their capacity reduction take another form? Do they have external lubricant cooling or?? Are they hermetics, semi hermetics or open drives? If they are hermetics or semi hermetics, measuring their real performance...
I believe you are trying to upgrade the available heat or is the real objective to cool the drain water??? If its the evaporator side of a heat pump, the target temperature of the heated fluid determines what your compression arrangement will look like; lots of reasonably inexpensive pieces...
What else is consuming steam from your circuit?
As banged up as these tubes are over a considerable extent: Something has got to be dropping the steam pressure, which causes the condensate to lift as it tries to re-establish saturation; and in worst cases your heat exchanger starts generating...
This a Big Commercial or maybe a Hospital Laundry?
If its of any scale, its an air handler exercise.
If its a Local Coin Op: Triple the normal for the Sq Ft of space, like it was a retail store....And take controll of the drier intakes.
And the chemistry can be fun even then...
Most of the...
