AlexRG · Aug 1, 2006

Hi, im designing an paraffin storage tank, but in order to make the contents allowable to be pumped, a steam coil system will be used. HOW DO I DESIGN A STEAM COIL SYSTEM, its there any information available to do this, any rules or something??. the steam passing thru the coil its saturated at 60 psi.

Any information will be a apreciated. Thanks.

Whether 60 psia or psig the temperature of the steam coil may induce scorching of the parwax. Consider using tempered water, for example, condensate. Just to keep the wax at a temperature a few degrees above melting point. It is, of course, understood the tank will be thermally insulated and inert gas blanketed to minimize oxidation.
