Hi There,
I have been given the task of designing a desiccator attachment to a pressure vessel in of course the most inexpensive way possible. I need help sizing a pump (if one exists). The pressure vessel chamber will be filled with nitrogen that is to help purge the materials within the vessel of moisture. Once the system is at 200C and 400 psi, ideally the pump will circulate gN2 through the added desiccator and back to the main chamber. The pressure vessel runs from ambient temperature and pressure to 200C at 400psi. The volume of the chamber is .47m^3. I found a pump that could work if I reduce the pressure to 200psi but then increasing it back to 400 psi becomes a problem... I have yet to find a booster that operates at these conditions.
The parameters of the system are a bit large for typical pumps. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you for your help!
