Hello, I am trying to size a relief valve for a "minimum flow/sample" loop. I have a pump operating at around 600psi feeding boilers. There is a small loop just off the discharge of the pump that is regulated to 50psi, and then ties back into the suction of the pump. The idea is to protect...
Hello,
I have an application where we are removing the sulfur from natural gas via carbon beds at less than 15psig. We have relief valves on the tank, and if they were to pop off, we would obviously want to automatically shut off the supply.
Is there some type of sensor that could be placed...
I work for a consulting firm and we are currently investigating new software for analyzing heat transfer problems. We would like to be able to model heat exchangers, jackets, pipe tracing, and mixing. Any software that would potentiall help with sizing pumps would be helpful as well. I know...
I am trying to determine relief requirements on a plate & frame exchanger involving hot blowdown water and cold feed water.
Blowdown water: 250F cooled to 86F 24.5 GPM
Feed water: 86F heated to 93.8F 450 GPM
The exchanger is rated for 150 #.
The exchanger can be valve blocked...
Hello,
I nned to size a relief valve on the steam side (inlet, tubes) of a heat exchanger. The shell side material is like that of "mineral oil." The steam is at 125 psig and is in a 1/2" line. Where do I begin with this one? Do I just determine the relieving rate by using the flowrate of...
I am trying to size a relief valve on a small mixing tank for a pilot plant operation. The worst case is for a very viscous material (65,000cP) and is blocked in fire case. Everywhere I have looked about finding the capacity of valve wants to know the orifice area. I thought that was what I...
