Designing Pressure Relief Systems for Heat Exchanger Tube Ruptures
Designing Pressure Relief Systems for Heat Exchanger Tube Ruptures
When designing pressure relieving systems for heat exchangers, the potential for internal tube failure needs to be considered, particularly if there is a significant difference in design pressure between the shell-side and tube-side of the exchanger. As per API STD 521, Pressure Relieving and Depressuring Systems, if the operational pressure on one side exceeds the […]
