I am working with a chemical engineer on a project to stop water from vaporizing as it enters a cooling coil in a tank. The tank has product in it that we keep at a temperature ranging from 235°F to 250°F before we start pumping out. We have cooling water supplied by our towers at 40 - 45 psig...
Process Conditions:
We currently have 2 pumps in this service, one which charges our reactors and one which is recycling back into the storage tank. The recycle pump is a low pressure pump - discharges at 33 psig and is run though a heat exchanger to keep the process fluid around 90 F to 150 F...
