What is pipe support? How the pipe support is choose during the process plant piping design? Factor which affect the pipe support span?

A pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfers the load from a pipe to the supporting structures then civil structure. The load includes the weight of the empty pipe, fluid (medium) that pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe, weight of valve and special item, and the pipe covering … Read more

Introduction The refrigeration cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that is used to draw-out heat from a particular space that you want to cool. It is also referred to as the heat pump cycle. The refrigeration cycle is specifically designed for refrigeration systems, air conditioning systems, and heat pumps. The heat pump is a mechanical device … Read more

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger | How It Work?

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a mechanical device that uses a tube mounted in a cylindrical housing to exchange heat between two hydraulic fluids through thermal contact. Shell-and-tube heat exchangers are also known as shell and tube heat exchangers. As the name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of an outer shell … Read more

Double Pipe Heat Exchanger | Configuration of Double Pipe Heat Exchangers | Types, Advantages, Disadvantages, Applications, and Uses

A double pipe heat exchanger is a sort of heat exchanger which includes concentric pipes parted through a mechanical closure. The name of this heat exchanger indicates that it makes use of pipes to exchange heat among fluids. One pipe has hot fluid whilst the opposite pipe has cold fluid. These two fluids do not mix … Read more
