How can one find out the operating pressure and design pressure for the tube side and shell side of a heat exchanger?～～? ? Are there standards to refer to, or is it calculated? ?
It is indicated on the equipment nameplate; the operating pressure is determined by the process
How can it be determined through the manufacturing process? I am going to design a heat exchanger. So it’s not clear right now how to determine the operating pressure and the design pressure.
Are you a equipment designer or a process engineer? If you are a process engineer, you naturally understand the process flow and definitely know the pressure of the heat exchanger. If you are a equipment designer, the operating pressure of the heat exchanger is specified by the process.
This has to be determined by the process engineers...
Check the nameplate, check the design documents, check the operation manual~~
The explanation on the 4th floor is very clear; therefore, it’s essential to be aware of one’s own job responsibilities, as this will make tasks easier to complete more efficiently.
Users and manufacturers: check the datasheet； If you are an engineering company, then you need to conduct research.
These data can be found on the equipment’s design drawings
The design pressure is 1.5 times the operating pressure
