    Variable Steam Demand

    Our facility's steam demand is variable; dependant on process requirements. We are currently in the process of removing a constant load from the system and putting it on hot water. Thus, when not in heating season, there will be NO constant steam demand. I am interested in finding out what...

    Vertical Thermosyphon Reboiler

    Not exactly what I was looking for but still some very good information. I am not worried about the liquid level being pushed through the exchanger and back to the column. We are more concerned that once the product starts boiling there will be a section of tubes which is not filled with...

    Vertical Thermosyphon Reboiler

    We are in the process of installing a distillation tower with a vertical thermosyphon reboiler. It is a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger; our product on the tube side and steam on the shell side. Our liquid level in the distillation tower sump and Reboiler are controlled via a barometric leg. I...

    Distillation Rupture Disk

    No, it is a distillation column. There is a concern about possible side reactions within the vessel.

    Distillation Rupture Disk

    The Rupture disk will be mounted directly on the vessel to prevent an overpressure caused by a runaway reaction. There is a pressure relief valve on the upstream piping as well.

    Distillation Rupture Disk

    I am trying to size a rupture disk for a distillation tower. I am having difficulty finding information on how to do this. I am hoping someone here has had some experience with this type of application and can direct me to a good source or can provide me with the proper equations to do so. Tony

    Electrical Room Ventilation

    I am trying to ventilate a small room containing some electrical equipment (VFD's, Chokes, a small Transformer)with an exhaust fan and a mechanical damper but I don't really know how to estimate a heat output for the equipment in the room. I was hoping that someone may be able to tell me a rule...

    Analysis of Current Heat Exchanger with Increased Flow Rates

    I am currently analyzing a shell and tube heat exchanger at our facility and I am having difficulties with my heat transfer fundamentals. I have all the data I need to determine my actual q, U, LMTD, etc. and I have done that. If I increase the shell and tube side flow rates by proportional...
