Steam Coil For Ammonia

1. The document calculates the steam requirements and line sizing for a steam supply system to vaporize 3 cubic meters per hour of ammonia. 2. The required steam flow rate is determined to be 1380.42 kg/hr, with a recommended inlet line size of 3 inches and outlet line size of 2 inches. 3. Heat transfer calculations are provided to determine the required surface area of a steam coil is 3.91 square meters, with a recommended coil diameter of 3 inches, 15.7 meters in straight length.

Basis:1. Steam flow rate is based on vaporising 3 cu.m of Ammonia per hour. 2. Liquid Ammonia considered at 0 kPag and -33.6 C 3. Steam operating data: Operating Pressure = 590 kPag, Operating Temp = 164.5 C Calculation:Heat required to vaporise 1 cu.m of Ammonia,Q = Latent heat of vaporisation of Steam, =
