What are the typical operating pressure and inlet/outlet temperatures of a propylene carbon cooler?
For propylene carbon cooling, shell-and-tube coolers or spray coolers are generally used, and the operating pressure should be slightly higher than that of the decarburization system. The temperature difference between inlet and outlet is generally kept within 7 degrees.
Our propylene carbonate coolant system uses a shell-and-tube heat exchanger; the fluid flowing inside the tubes is propylene carbonate, with an operating pressure of less than 3.2 MPa, typically around 2.6 MPa. The temperature is currently around 26–27°C. The fluid flowing outside the tubes is cooling water, with a pressure generally below 0.5 MPa. The temperature in this area is greatly influenced by the ambient air temperature.
