Methanol vaporization temperature and pressure, its state, and the impact on operation
Thread Content
There is currently a heat exchanger in use: the fluid flowing through the tube side is heat transfer oil at a temperature of 280°C, while the fluid flowing through the shell side is methanol. The inlet temperature of methanol is at room temperature, and its outlet temperature is 248°C under a pressure of 1 Mpa. According to information available online, the boiling point of methanol at this pressure is around 138°C (this value is not certain; please advise). Is the methanol in a superheated state after heat exchange? What impact does this state have on methanol (after vaporization) as a raw material? I earnestly ask all the experts for their guidance. Thank you very much!
Yes, this is the boiling point of methanol at normal temperature and pressure.
