Selection of heat exchangers for air compressor stations
Thread Content
What type of heat exchanger should be used in the air compression station? This is mainly because the temperature of the material inside the compressor is high and needs to be cooled (372–40°C); a shell-and-tube type is suitable. Fin-type, or something else?
Based on my experience working in chemical plants and pharmaceutical factories over the years, it is necessary to determine the appropriate design based on the operating pressure at the outlet of the air compressor; generally, shell-and-tube types are used for high and medium pressure applications, while finned types are more common for low and medium pressure applications. By the way, I recommend this post on the forum’s homepage: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-163192-1-1.html

Your question is a bit confusing; if it’s an air compressor, enter 0. 8-1. 0 MPA – how can the outlet temperature be 372? Your temperature is even higher than that of a boiler (except it lacks latent heat). Is it according to the instructions? Is it the actual situation? Theoretically, it can be calculated based on the adiabatic index.
