Dear all,

I have been tasked to do stress analysis of secondary side chilled water piping to determine stress risk on plate heat exchangers (PHEX). Secondary side (flow 5.5C and return 14.5C) piping extends horizontally (from PHEX to risers) and vertically from risers, branches to each FCU on 90m high building.

Any advise, example calculation, link, source would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks muchly.
