Client

US-based Cryogenic Technology Leader

Location

North America

Project Duration

2 Weeks

Software Tools

Engineering Requirement

The client aimed to enhance their chilling plant operations’ thermal efficiency and reliability with a flooded evaporator design, specifically focusing on the flooded evaporator used within the plant. They sought expertise in thermal design to facilitate efficient heat exchange between refrigerant R134a and air within a shell and tube heat exchanger.

Given its reputation for excellence in equipment engineering solutions, Rishabh Pro Engineering was chosen to develop a report for flooded shell and tube evaporator design. Leveraging AspenTech’s Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR)™ and AutoDesk AutoCAD.

Project Deliverables

Comprehensive analysis of thermal design aspects for the flooded shell and tube exchanger.

Heat transfer coefficients

Heat transfer area

Thermal and hydraulic analysis summary

Evaluation of fluid flow rates and temperature differentials to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of the chilling plant.

Mechanical GA drawings wtih dimensions, specifications and design features

The flooded shell and tube heat exchanger design for a BXM TEMA-type configuration was a critical component of the chilling plant. It featured a Vapor Disengagement chamber at the top and a Knockout drum at the air outlet side to effectively remove moisture from the system.
