Pipeline icing
Thread Content
For a pipe with a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 50 m, at -10°C, how long will it take for the pipe to freeze if there is no insulation material? And if insulation is used, how long will it take? I hope fellow sailors can offer some guidance
It is necessary to clarify what the medium inside the pipe is, as well as the temperature and flow rate. For reference.
The medium is water, at a temperature of 40°C; it is not flowing and is stagnant water
Is the medium water?, Temperature: 40°C, no flow – it’s still water
Water that remains still at such low temperatures will eventually freeze
So, can you hold on for one night?
5°C during the day and minus 10°C at night – will it freeze?
