Is there a good standard for maintenance of water quality in chillers and closed cooling systems?
Q: Is there a good standard for maintenance of water quality in chillers and closed cooling systems?
A: There are many publications regarding water quality and treatment, especially for chillers. ASHRAE Transactions Vol. 98, 1992 covers experimental studies on fouling in chillers and will have many other references embedded in the article. This link takes you to ASHRAE Transactions papers, including Vol. 98 http://bookstore.ashrae.biz/template.php?AssetID=28
Here are more of the latest questions on: Heat Transfer
How do I calculate the heat transferred via sunlight?
How would I best calculate the heat transferred via sunlight and ambient temperatures through a jacketed vessel containing a liquid?
How do I calculate the vessel side heat transfer coefficient?
I have a question about calculating the 'U' value when a jacketed pressure vessel is either (1) not agitated at all, or (2) agitated using a pump, not an impeller. I'm only familiar with determining the U value for agitated vessels where the Nusselt number is determined by heat transfer correlations. This method requires a Reynold's number, which needs an impeller diameter, which I don't have. Do you have any suggestions?
Should we be concerned about freezing condensate in the exchanger?
We are going to heat a solvent (around -12 degrees C) by superheated steam holding 4.3 bar and 185 degrees C. This will be done in a shell and tube exchanger aiming at 33 degrees C for exit solvent temperature. We think there may be concerns about freezing condensate to ice in the exchanger due to minus temperature of solvent. Can we proceed safely by this manner or it is necessary to have positive temperature for the inlet solvent temperature entering the steam heater?
How do you calculate overall heat transfer coefficient and mean temperature driving force?
We have an enclosed ground flare system. We burn the natural gas (97% methane) coming from the various processes. The gas is flowing and tapped into KOD. The temperature of gas is -7 degrees C. After KOD the gas is flowing through pipe of 36 inch header to flare. I wanted to calculate how much the temperature is raised when it travels from KOD to flare at distance of 100m. The ambient temperature is 40 degrees C and the pipe is non-insulated and open to atmosphere.
How do you calculate heater capacity?
What is the electric heater capacity required to heat 80 liters of Hytherm 600 oil in a tub or when the oil is circulated from the tub by a pump to the reactor jacket?
