Dear all,
I need your help in determining the reasoning behind a PSV in on of our water heating systems. The system is as follows: a shell-and-tube heat exchanger in which water (tube side, 6 barg, 20°C) is heated by low pressure saturated steam (shell side, 1,7 barg; 131°C) to approximately...
Hi all,
I'm currently looking into the design of some relief valves in our plant. During a field visit, I noticed something I don't understand regarding the outlet of a PSV located on the tube side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. In the heat exchanger, water is heated to 55°C by 2 barg...
Dear members,
I have a question regarding the need for a PSV. We're currently designing a nitrogen system for sweep through purging of some atmospheric equipment. The maximum nitrogen flow needed for purging is 200 kg/h at atmospheric pressure and 15°C.
The nitrogen supply pressure is 7 barg...
Dear all,
I'm trying to calculate the nitrogen flow needed for purging a hopper. This hopper (with a volume of 0.40 m3) is a bin in which different solids (polymer, additives, ..) are collected and via which they are discharged in a mixer (here all the components are mixed together at high...
Dear all,
I'm a new member of this forum but I've read some interesting topics in the past and I feel I can learn a lot from experienced members here as I'm a young graduate.
I have a question regarding the design of a restriction orifice in centrifugal pump operation. The function of the RO...
