Hello Gentlemen,
I am working on replacing some existing plate and frame HEX with units that can handle more process flow, about 30 percent more. With that, more steam mass flow will be required to give the desired heating. The steam comes from multiple effect evaps.
What would be the best way...
I need some practical insight here, gentlemen.
I have a flow of about 350 cubic meters per hour.
This works fine for 10 inch piping (falls well within the range of recommended velocities).
What would work better:
A) having a 10 inch control valve straight on the line with no reducers?
B)...
Hi All,
Lets say you have a pipeline of 100 ft with various fittings, reducers etc, and a velocity of about 5 ft/s entering the pipe line intially. I want to find how much allowable pressure drop there can be so that 5 ft/s does not reach 0 ft/s after its journey through the pipe. Which...
Hi All,
I am trying to verify that the external piping arrangment for a plate heat exchanger train (pressure drop on each HEX is 0.2 bar) has been designed for a as-close-to constant velocity.
There are currently some elbows, bends, and reducers that add resistance and will of course increase...
