Issues regarding the setup of fluid collection bags for downward-curving pipes
Thread Content
Hello everyone, there’s a problem that has been bothering me. The gas phase discharged from the feed and discharge heat exchangers contains some liquid, and there is a downward bend in the pipeline between these exchangers; therefore, it’s necessary to design a liquid collection tank. Could you please suggest an appropriate location for this tank? Thank you.
Is there any insulation or heat tracing? Is the air cooler located above the elbow? It seems that there is a U-shaped structure between the vaporizer and the air cooler, right?
Well, I also prefer the second option; it seems that with the first option, incomplete separation of the liquids might lead to liquid accumulation at the bottom of the vertical tube
It’s actually a gas-liquid separator; refer to the ammonia liquid separator in refrigeration systems. The inlet is located on the cylinder wall, and inside, the gas moves in a circular path along the wall while the liquid flows downward and the gas rises upward
