Heat exchanger design for heating heat transfer oil with medium-pressure superheated steam
Thread Content
Dear experts, my factory has a process requirement that involves using superheated steam at a pressure of 3.8–4.0 MPa and at a temperature of around 400 degrees Celsius to heat the heat transfer oil. The inlet temperature of the heat transfer oil is around 200–210 degrees Celsius, and it is desired to raise its temperature to 230–250 degrees Celsius. What type of heat exchanger should be used for this purpose? Should the steam flow in the tube side or the shell side? What material should be chosen for the heat exchanger? What issues should be considered in the design of heat exchangers? Thank you!
High temperature, high pressure – are ordinary materials not suitable for such conditions?
Thank you! Which type of heat exchanger is better to use: a fixed-tube column heat exchanger or a floating-head type?
Are there any practical application examples of using high-pressure steam to heat heat transfer oil?
