Hello all,
I have been asked to size a pressure relief valve to be located on the shell side of a heat exchanger. The design conditions are for the tube side 730 gpm of condensate @ 250 F and the shell side 24 gpm of water. The scenario we are concerned with is somebody closing the valves on...
I don't know what I am doing wrong trying to attach this file. Is there a Q&A or tutorial somewhere for this? It seems straight forward enough, but it doesn't work.
Let me try that againhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=d29a20a9-fe71-40b8-879f-4c20ee10d405&file=Caustic_1st_Effect_Evaporation_partial_P&ID_scan.pdf
Sorry I did not respond earlier, but I took some time away over the holiday season. I'll try to clarify some things. The pump is an axial flow elbow design with open impeller. It is an Ingersoll-Rand APL pump (more accurately, it is a jobber copy of one). The original 1967 drawings show the...
I have been asked by a client to look at a failure of a vortex breaker they have in service and to recommend a new design or welding procedures if necessary.
The vortex breaker is on an axial flow pump on a caustic evaporation loop in a chemical plant. I was sent photos of the failure and one...
