@MJCronin, agreed with you on this, so all the stresses in ASME I should be considered. Isn't the limitation of ASME I is water/steam boiler, which should be exposed to fire?
Also, the medium does not change phases from liquid to gas.
Or PG-2.4 applies?
Ahh, sorry I forgot to mention, yes, those tubes at the receiver is going to be Ni-alloy and the main piping for molten salt to the tanks should be P91.
I supposed there are no set of rules or general consensus on using one approach, right?
I am in South Africa, and our system is very similar to PED. I also thought ASME VIII Div 1 is applicable, but if they want to do Design by Analysis, then I think I should be okay with ASME VIII Div 2.
Hi fellow engineers,
My company is developing solar CSP as Independent Power Producer, this CSP plant is the one that has mirrors on the ground and a receiver at the top of the tower and the medium is molten salt. I have a question of the solar receiver on top of the tower.
In my country...
