Design Considerations to Prevent Heat Exchanger Failure HydrocarbonProcessing.com
<<Chemical plant structures such as heat exchangers are subjected
to transient pressure loads in normal operation. Since the rates
of change of these are normally slow compared with the response
times of the structures, the well-established design guides for
the plant based on static loading are usually appropriate. Major
deviations, however, such as high-pressure pipe failure, can give
rise to high-amplitude, short-duration pulse loads. If one applies
the static load design rules for such cases, it will generally
result in a more robust design than may be necessary.>>
Cooling Tower Fill: the Neglected Moneymaker HydrocarbonProcessing.com
<<In the 1960s, process cooling tower design abruptly changed
direction. At that time, large industrial cooling towers were of
the cross-flow configuration (Fig. 1). The most dramatic change
has been the introduction of specialty engineered film fills that
provide significantly higher thermal performance through increased
water-to-air contact area and reduced pressure drop.>>
