It's a general question.
Anyone with experience operating a compressor (recips or centrifugal machines) on full recycle when the inlet to the compressor is blocked? What are the pros and cons, and also the things that we have to take note of?
Thanks in advance.
Dear all,
Much has been said about the API's 2/3 rule (or the new 10/13 rule) for heat exchangers. And the discussion always resolves around high pressure and low pressure side.
But which sides are we talking about?
What's the likelihood, or credibility to consider tube rupture relief, when...
I've got a concern with a current design work I'm doing now which I hope to hear some opinions.
There are many water cooled heat exchangers in my work, in which the low pressure side (cooling water) pipings are not designed according to API 10/13 rule. And since the high pressure side can be...
Can anyone advise me on the allowable overpressure for PSVs installed on Boilers (say operating at 54 barg), and which reference is that taken from? I recall a 3% figure at the back of my head but not quite sure of the reference.
I've just designed 2 BFW pumps, one running and one on standby, both with auto recirculation valve installed. Besides serving for minimum pump protection, is there a possibility that these ARC valves come with a bypass orifice to keep the spare (idle) pump warm as well? If yes, who are the...
