The impact of the tower top nozzle on tower calculations
Thread Content
Now, construct a tower with a DN1600 diameter and a total height of 26 meters; it has a gas outlet at the top with a DN650 diameter (equipped with insulation). The connecting pipeline for this outlet is estimated to be supported on the tower using pipe racks (piping not yet determined), and it will be connected to the heat exchanger located on a platform at a height of 9.8 meters. So when calculating the tower: 1) Is the weight of the pipeline considered an eccentric load on the tower? ； 2) Whether it is necessary to consider the impact of the wind load acting on the pipeline on the tower. Thank you! ! !
Factors that need to be considered, especially in areas with strong winds
It’s definitely necessary; parameters from the meteorological agency are required before designing
Both of the issues mentioned by the original poster require calculation.
The calculation software has built-in calculation functions; you just need to input the parameters
Some margin needs to be considered, I guess.
