Guys, I’d like to ask how to determine the design pressure for a jacket. The medium used in the jacket is ethylene glycol – how should its operating pressure be calculated?
The design and operating pressure of the jacket depend on the following factors: 1. The properties of the medium inside the jacket, such as the density, viscosity, and temperature of ethylene glycol; 2. The material and structure of the jacket, such as its thickness, inner diameter, and length ; 3. The operating environment of the jacket, such as the working conditions of the equipment in which it is located and the parameters of the medium, etc ; Normally, the design pressure of the jacket should be greater than the highest operating pressure of the medium inside the jacket. The maximum operating pressure of the medium inside the jacket, on the other hand, needs to be determined based on the specific production process and operating conditions. Generally, the maximum operating pressure for ethylene glycol is its saturated vapor pressure, which can be obtained by consulting relevant data or through calculation. Therefore, the design and operating pressure of the jacket must take these factors into account to ensure its safe and reliable operation. It is recommended that you consult professional engineers or production staff to better assess these factors and determine the appropriate design and operating pressure. .
This is the vapor pressure, right? Shouldn’t it be the pressure of the liquid that’s calculated?
