6.2 A Double Pipe Exchanger Was Oversized Because No Data Were Available On The Rate at

The document describes a double pipe heat exchanger that was oversized because the rate of dirt accumulation was unknown. The exchanger was designed to cool acetic acid from 250 to 150°F while heating butyl alcohol from 100 to 157°F. During initial operation, the hot liquid outlet was 117°F and rose 3°F per month. A dirt factor of 18 should have been specified for a 6 month cleaning cycle.

6.2 A double pipe exchanger was oversized because no data were available on the rate at which dirt accumulated.

The exchanger was originally designed to cool 13.000 lb/hr of 100 per cent acetic acid from 250 to 150oF by heating 19.000 lb/hr of butyl alcohol from 100 to 157oF. A design coefficient UD = 85 was employed, but during initial operation a hot liquid outlet temperature of 117oF was obtained. It rose during operation at the average rate of 3oF per month. What dirt factor should have been specified for a 6 month cleaning cycle? Jawab :

6.3 O-xylene coming from storage at 100oF is to be heated to 150oF by cooling 18.000 lb/hr of butyl alcohol from 170 to 140oF. Available for the purpose are five 20 ft hairpin double pipe exchangers with annuli and pipes each connected in series. The exchangers are 3- by 2- in IPS. What is (a) the dirt factor, (b) the pressure drop? (c) if the hot and cold streams in (a) are reversed with respect to the annulus and inner pipe, how does this justify or refute your initial decition where to place the hot stream?
