How to design the structure of a 100-cubic-meter dichloromethane storage tank
Thread Content
There is currently a 100-cubic-meter dichloromethane storage tank, and the user wants to use a ground-mounted tank at atmospheric pressure; but will a flat-bottomed conical design meet the requirements? (Working pressure: -0.01 to -0.085 MPa) Seek guidance from experts
When it comes to work stress, the form of equipment is definitely not acceptable. It can be made into a horizontal tank.
A vacuum version definitely won’t work; it is recommended to use a horizontal type.
Can a strengthened form be used to meet this requirement?
The normal boiling point of dichloromethane is 39.8°C, and its saturated vapor pressure at 40°C is slightly above 100 kPa; therefore, low-pressure storage tanks are generally used. I’m not sure what the value of the post owner’s work pressure, -0.01-0.085 MPa, means Is it stored under frozen conditions, and is there a backup unit for the refrigeration system?
I haven’t asked that. These are the conditions proposed by the user.
Cold water is applied to the outside of this tank to reduce its temperature
