heat exchanger 1

[Petroleo]

Hello All,

I have this info about an oil cooler:
Size: 2.58ID 23 O/L
Design T:120 S:155F & T:150 S:250 psig
Oper. T:45/70 S:128/75F & T:100 S:186 psig

It means, shell and tube type, but I need to know if it cah handle around 30 MBOPD? I think oil is flowing through tubes.

Thanks in advance,
Petroleo

Petroleo,
You are providing the mechanical design ratings for the exchanger but asking a question that is totally unrelated to the information that you supplied. You want to know about the HYDRAULICS of the system. You would need to supply much more information about your system before one could begin to address your question. As a minimum, we'd need to know the fluid, properties, flowrate, pressure drop available, etc. We'd also need to know the pertinent facts about the exchanger - number of tubes, I.D. of tubes, length of tubes, number of passes, etc. This is not a trivial question and you haven't begun to provide the needed information. If you also want to address the Thermal performance of the exchanger, you will need even more information. Speak to a specialist.
