I have a pump package and I need to calculate the heat loss in piping (suction and discharge) , suction piping (cold) and disharge piping (hot) also i am using a carbon steel pipe material SA106B
What is the reasons to have suction control valve in the suction line of recip compressors? is it to help with smoother start up ??
in this case, we have the max suction pressure of 500 psig, pipeline will not see more than 500 psig however it may see less .
I have done some runs, and compressor...
