Oil tank steam coil heater

Same question, I want to know too. Is it determined by the process engineering team, or by the equipment engineering team?

First, you need to determine a few things for yourself: 1. Heating requirements, which are the process (application) requirements set by the client, including 1) how long the heating time should be ； 2) Initial heating temperature ； 3) Is it necessary to maintain a certain temperature? For example: heat from 7°C to 15°C within 48 hours, and then keep it at 15°C. Without this requirement, there is no need for calculation. 2. Determine the heating medium: This requires considering the user’s utility resources: 1) What heating medium is currently available to the user? ； 2) Install a new heat source, such as adding a new boiler ； 3. Is there insulation, and what are the insulation measures? 4. Calculate the coil dimensions. Including pipe diameter, length, disc diameter, pitch, and number of turns (determined by length). . . . . . Use the Dr. Coil Heat Exchange software to design easily – this is the solution provided by China National Petroleum Corporation. This is unsteady-state heat transfer, and currently, only the Coil Heat Transfer Pro software is capable of performing calculations using rigorous differential equation methods to generate professional calculation reports. Other approaches, including the algorithms recommended in manuals, are merely rough estimates and are increasingly being rejected by advanced users. Don’t expect these foreign software programs such as HTRx, HTFx, and EDx to carry out the calculations either—they are incapable of doing so.
