At room temperature, liquid ammonia needs to be prepared as an 8% aqueous solution. Can liquid ammonia be mixed with water using a static mixer after being depressurized?
It should be possible, but the heat released when ammonia dissolves in water must be taken into account; the system needs a heat exchanger to remove this heat.
Thank you! After throttling, the temperature of liquid ammonia drops to around 0 degrees, and it becomes a gas-liquid mixture.
After mixing, a heat exchanger is installed at the outlet for cooling; part of the ammonia solution at the outlet is circulated
Isn’t it simpler to add a circulating coil for cooling right inside the mixer? That’s exactly what our company does – we install numerous coils inside a large mixer and use circulating water for cooling; this water can also be used in places where hot water is needed. Hehe
