Calculation of heating coil area
Thread Content
There is a caustic solution tank containing 30% sodium hydroxide at normal temperature and pressure. A vertical storage tank is being used for storing this substance, and in order to ensure that the sodium hydroxide remains in liquid state even in winter, a heating coil must be installed outside the tank. The heating steam has a pressure of 0.6 MPA and a temperature of 156 degrees. Who can help calculate the heating area of the heating coil?
Your request for assistance is incomplete; I can’t help you calculate it. The size of the storage tank, the amount of alkali present, the amount of alkali flowing in and out per unit time, the lowest outdoor temperature, etc., should be provided. But in general, the requirement is heat retention and frost prevention; therefore, an external coil can be installed on the 1/4 straight section, and heat retention measures will be sufficient.
