Thanks, I will check it out. It may be what I am looking for.

Closed loop cooling stystems are widely
employed in the steel industry, for example for the cooling boxes,cooling
staves,tuyeres and hot stove valves of the blast furnaces.
To achieve the optimum function of the plate heat exchanger the following objectives should be a part of the design procedure:
1/ Examination of fouling margins
2/ Prevention of coarse fouling
3/ The use of optimal flow rates
4/ Estimation of scaling thresholds
5/ Control an removal of biological flouling by chlorination
6/ The use af chemical cleaning
Alfa-Laval is the world’s leading supplier of plate heat exchangers.

Onderwerp: RE: [PipingDesign] Compressed Natural Gas Cooler
We will install FE's, PT's, TT', PCV's, & LV's that will be controlled by a PLC. We use olny use the latest flow controls technology, that is basic.
What is a PHE? do you have direct experience with this technology, could you recommend a supplier in The US.
Let's go back to the original email. It is a simple
question:
1. Anyone implemented this approach successfully?
2. We are looking at decreasing the gas temp from 120 deg F to 95 deg. F?
3. I am looking for a ASME Certified
design/fabricator in the USA only?
