Design issues for ethylene oxide storage tanks
Thread Content
How to effectively cool a 50-cubic-meter ethylene oxide storage tank? Is it an internal coil or a jacket? What size heat exchange area is required? The refrigerant temperature ranges from -10 degrees to 5 degrees, and the temperature inside the storage tank is required to be between -5 degrees and 5 degrees. Please ask my friends for advice
A 50-cubic-meter storage tank is quite large; it is recommended that you use the external half-pipe insulation method. If an inner coil is used, the reliability of that inner coil must be considered. This problem does not exist when using semi-tube insulation.
Can the temperature of the half-tube be lowered? What should the cooling area be?
Sure, go around it in circles; it depends on the size of your container to determine the area. Generally, a 89 mm tube is used after being cut open as a companion tube. If you want good results, don’t make the itinerary too long.
A structure with an outer half-tube and an inner coil could be considered.
I mainly want to find the area for cooling; I know how to calculate the heat exchange area of a half-tube.
Thank you for your suggestion. For a tank of 50 cubic meters, the parameters are listed above. What is the required area for the half-pipe?
