Question about the condenser
Thread Content
The condenser specifications are ∮273x1500; the steam temperature ranges from 90° to room temperature at a pressure of 0.1 MPa, while the circulating water temperature ranges from 27° to 37° at a pressure of 0.3 MPa. Is this condenser considered a pressure vessel, and is it subject to inspection? According to the three conditions for pressure vessels, the pressure and the product of pressure times volume are both greater than 2.5 MPa/L, so that condition is met. Is the third condition also satisfied?
Using a plate type means it is no longer considered a pressure vessel
The steam temperature ranges from 90° to room temperature, and the operating pressure of 0.1 MPa is likely to be absolute pressure. Saturated steam is related to pressure; it’s necessary to confirm both the operating pressure and temperature. If the operating pressure is indeed 0.1 MPa (gauge), then it falls into this category.
