The hot oil system is heated with natural gas.
Actually, this new system is to replace an old steam operated heat exchanger that our plant purchased used many years ago. Our plant has low pressure steam at 15 psi (also heated with natural gas), but the steam is primarily used for tank...
Thank you all for your advice,
MJCronin, a hot water tank is a fine idea, but for our application it would have to be quite a large tank, and we simply don't have the space to accommodate it. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
Otherwise, it looks like we'll be pursuing a system similar to...
Hi there! I'm pretty new to the engineering world, and I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with temperature control in heat exchangers. I'm looking into installing a shell and tube heat exchanger to use hot oil at 500 F to heat water to 170 F. The hot water will be used for cleaning...
