Selection of heat pump compressors for distillation
Thread Content
A heat pump compressor for distillation is required; the inlet to the compressor is tower top vapor (propane, 58°C, 100 kPa, 540 m3/min), and the outlet of the compressor should also be propane vapor (> dew point of 72°C, 180 kPa) to be used for heating the material in the bottom of the tower. How should such compressors be selected? I would appreciate advice from experienced professionals
If you want to use a certain manufacturer, just ask the manufacturer directly
I don’t know which manufacturer has such equipment
Is 100 kPa gauge pressure or absolute pressure? If it is absolute pressure, you can ask the manufacturer of the Roots blower; for gauge pressure, a centrifugal compressor is suitable for such conditions. The pipeline should also require heat tracing to prevent condensation
