Piping issues
Thread Content
The diagram below shows two ways of drawing the extraction pipeline at the bottom of the tank. The pink lines represent my approach to piping, while the red lines represent the technician’s approach. The master’s method involves pulling the tank out at a 45-degree angle (we determine the position of the tank’s outlet). What needs to be considered mainly is whether there is a 90-degree turn in my approach, which would result in significant energy loss? I earnestly request your guidance.
As for the specific type of pipeline, as well as the temperature and pressure levels, these factors should be taken into account to minimize pipeline resistance losses.
Why not place it below or to the right?
There’s no essential difference; it depends on personal preferences
Yes: the height of the tube outlet from the tank is 0.6 meters, with a downward tilt of 0.1 meter leading to the pump
There isn’t enough space below or to the right of this container; it’s more or less like this
I have another question for everyone. If the piping is at a 45-degree angle and the pipe becomes horizontal after the pull-out valve is used, the angle in this case is 135 degrees. Are there elbows available with a 135-degree angle?
That definitely exists. It just seems like there’s no difference between these two approaches; the one with the stronger fist gets to decide
The orientation of the pipe outlets is generally not considered in terms of pressure drop losses, unless specified by the PID; instead, it is usually determined based on spatial layout and operational considerations
There is no fundamental difference between these two connection methods; however, the choice should be determined based on the location of the equipment on site and its associated accessories. It is also necessary to take into account the connection methods of the surrounding storage tanks, in order to achieve a uniform, neat, and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Thank you!
