The operation temperature column is labeled as “ambient temperature” – is this a correct way of expressing it? Since the ambient temperature changes with each season and every day, is this representation accurate? Everyone is welcome to join the discussion……
It’s not accurate, but I’m* used to it now; I take temperature compensation into account when designing
Yes, there are many foreign drawings in which storage tanks also use AMB (ambient temperature). Is the storage tank okay?
The ambient temperature is actually quite important. There is a large temperature difference between the north and south of our country, especially in winter. In areas in the south where it doesn’t get cold, some pipes can be omitted when it comes to insulation measures. But in the north, where temperatures drop to minus 20 degrees, insulation becomes essential.
The ambient temperature is not accurate, but a *habit has been formed; it usually refers to 20°C.
Before purchasing equipment and signing a technical agreement, the climate data of the location where the plant will be situated should be provided to the supplier. It depends on what is stored in the tanks; if it’s something that tends to crystallize, then insulation is necessary. .
Ambient temperature, amb, and similar values are commonly used. When placing orders for equipment or requesting quotes, a meteorological data sheet is provided to the supplier, so there should be no issues.
