    Chiller Structural Foundation

    Hi, everyone. I'm looking into the requirements that I should make to the structural engineer for the installation of a magnetic chiller in a roof. After looking into thread507-299291 I'm understanding that if he provides a 6'' maintenance slab and I specify that the equipment is provided with...

    Confused with Pipe Specification from Korea

    Dear community, Recently I received a BOM for a Power Plant designed in South Korea. I have an issue with items described as "ASTM A106-B CS SMLS PE XS/80 (PE.C)" or "ASTM A106-B CS SMLS BE XS/80 (PE.C)", I have never used the (PE.C) descriptor and I am ignorant of its meaning. I've tried...

    Variable Primary Flow CHW and chiller interaction

    Dear community, I'm in doubt in the following aspect of a Primary Variable Flow CHW system : The minimum flow of CHW through the chiller is provided by the lowest speed of the pump. Also, the chiller has a minimum load protection. My doubt is if below the minimum cooling load the chiller...

    Buckling of Tank Roof Columns

    Hello, comunity: I'm in the middle of the calculations of the columns that support a Cone Roof. I'm having problems deciding for the k factor to compute the slenderness ratio: - I visualize the contact area of the roof as a FREE boundary condition. - I can't decide if the connection with the...

    ASME B31.4 - Mitered Bends out of spec

    Dear comunity: I'm dealing with the task of justifying the use of mitered bends that were field constructed without consideration for what is established in ASME B31.4-2009 404.2.4. The pipeline starts with a manifold connected to 4 Vertical Centrifugal Pumps each one rated to 585m3/h @ TDH...

    Analisis of downhill pipeline

    Dear community, I'll appreciate your oppinions in how a downhill gravity pipeline is being analyzed. The pipeline has changes of internal diameter and slope, altough it always is going downhill. The pipeline starts in a tank and discharges to a pond and has a flow requirement. 1) We analyzed...
