Calculation issues for the heat transfer oil reboiler in a distillation tower
Thread Content
For the isobutane removal tower, with gasoline and isobutane as the feed materials, at a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius, the bottom temperature of the tower needs to reach 120 degrees Celsius, and the top pressure is 0.55 MPa. What heat exchange area is required if the reboiler is heated using heat transfer oil? How much can the heat exchange area differ compared to steam heating? Please ask the experts to help answer
For this temperature level, low-pressure steam is sufficient; using heat transfer oil would result in higher energy consumption, so this needs further analysis
