Cooling system for large-diameter equipment
Thread Content
Are there any good methods to keep the operating temperature of large-diameter equipment within a very narrow range, such as 2°C up or down, or even a narrower range? For the circulating water that we use in normal operations, the design temperature range is typically set at 10 degrees Celsius, while in practice it is considered to be around 7-8°C. The equipment that requires cooling actually needs a temperature difference of at least 8-10°C compared to the circulating water, which leads to significant fluctuations in the temperature of the medium inside the reactor, making it difficult to keep this temperature within 2°C.
As everyone knows, it is generally difficult to install internal coils in enamel reaction vessels. Therefore, to achieve the desired heat exchange effect, a relatively large temperature difference is required in order to obtain a cooling effect; however, this also leads to significant temperature fluctuations inside the vessel
There is relatively little interaction in this area, so one can choose the equipment manufacturers and designers as desired.
