Freeze Protection of Cooling Tower Basins

Freeze Protection of Cooling Tower Basins

Abstract Seasonally shutting down a cooling tower by draining the tower is often not possible for three reasons: (1) In large buildings, the central core must often be cooled, even in sub-freezing weather (2) in sections of the United States, the occasional warm winter day necessitates sporadic air conditioning operation and (3) year-round one or…

Crude Oil Application

Crude Oil Application

Problem: Heating oil to 130°F with a flow rate of 400,000 lbs/hr, 1300 psig and an operating pressure of 800 psig. Solution: Considering the extreme flow rate the KW requirement was significant at 800 KW. Heatrex split the requirement between (2) 18″ – 400 KW circulation heaters. With the high pressure in mind 600 #…
