A typical horizontal centrifugal pump suction and discharge piping arrangements is illustrated. Pump suction piping shall be as short as possible and shall be arranged so that vapourpockets are avoided. Reducers immediately connected to the pump suction…
The design of a piping system can have an important effect on the successful operation of a centrifugal pump. Such items as sump design, suction piping design, suction and discharge pipe size and pipe supports must all be carefully considered. A typical horizontal centrifugal pump installation is illustrated. Selection of the discharge pipe size is primarily a matter of economics. The cost of variouspipe sizes must be compared to the pump size and power cost required to overcome theresulting friction head. The suction piping size and…
Shell & Tub After all the required information has been collected for the piping design of a heat exchanger, the first step is to outline clearance and working space in front and around both ends of the exchanger. These working spaces should be kept clear of any piping and accessories to facilitate channel, shell-cover and tube-bundle removal as well as maintenance and cleaning.…
Heat Exchangers are widely used equipment’s in the chemical, petrochemical and refinery type of plant. The control of heat within a plant operation is done by direct heat application in a furnace, or by heat exchange in a shell and tube exchanger / plate heat exchanger. Types of heat exchanger may be Shell and Tube, Aircooled (Fin-Fan), Plate type or Coil type(spiral). Various process duties of heat exchanger have an effect on the layout aspects viz. a. Exchange of sensible heat between two process fluids. b. Cooling with air or water. c. Chilling with refrigerated liquid. d. Heating with steam or hot water. e. Condense by water or a cold process stream. f. Vapourising by steam (e.g.…
