Calculation of the amount of heat transfer oil required
Thread Content
Our company plans to use heat transfer oil to heat the reaction vessel. We would appreciate it if experts could help us figure out how to calculate the total amount of heat transfer oil required
1. Calculate the length of the pipelines in the reaction vessel, and determine its volume using the formula for a cylinder. 2. Calculate the internal volume of the reaction vessel; this is usually specified in the equipment’s documentation. 3. Calculate the volume of the heating furnace or heat transfer oil furnace; this information is also generally available for such equipment. 4. The specific gravity of heat transfer oil is generally between 0.88 and 1.05; using this value for calculations will suffice
