    Rotary Type Oil Flooded Compressor

    All: Currently I am working on oil flooded rotary type compressor P&ID. It compresses propane vapor from 15psia at -42.5F to around 313 psia. The slide valve will operate based on suction pressure control. Could anyone expain to me this control scheme i.e what happens if pressure is too high or...

    Air Cooled Heat Exchanger -Fan Speed Control

    All: Currently I am working on Air Cooler P&ID. Here are the details of the air cooler- Its a forced draft, single bay, 2 fan/bay cooler. The propane vapor enters at 210F and 300psig and leaves as liquid at 120F. The deltaP across the cooler is 5 psig. The motors are of VFD type. The speed of...

    Thermal Relief Valves

    All: I am sizing thermal relief valves for liquid LNG. Typically we do not size those and use default, but the client wants to see the calcs. These valves are located on 26" diameter long and short run of piping. The pipe length is approx 1000ft and is insulated. Do we have to consider...
