Praphulla,

 

Are you working on a lube oil cooler for a compressor?

Hi Pradip

Thanks a lot for your valuable input.

Answering to your query, there is no specific document issued by customer for material requirements, they have only suggested the materials for coolers as mentioned below during Kick of meeting

 

 

Design conditions are also normal like Design pressure is 10.2 Bar G & Design temperature is 90 Deg C. But here I have to provide the cooler with ASME U stamp

 

Do you foresee any issue with this?

 

Thanks

Praphulla

Hi  Praphulla,

 

I  looked at the requirements  and here is the summary:-

 

1.     Channel, Channel cover & Baffles  ASTM B 171 C61400--  Al-6.0-8.0, Fe-1.5-3.5, Balance  Cu.

 

2.    Tubes ASTM B-111 C71500— Cupro-Nickel- Ni-29.0-31.0, Fe -0.4-1.0, Balance Cu.

 

3.   Tube sheets ASTM B-171 C71500—As Above

 

4.    Pipes- seamless, copper alloy  in  nominal pipe sizes, both regular and extra strong--ASME ,SB-315, Alloy C61400

 

5.   Girth flanges, Nozzle flanges- Hot Forged SB 283 C 61900 (Max Fe content 4.0%, clause F of TABLE-1)  or SB-283 ,C-62300 or  ASTM B 124 C-61900 OR C-62300.

 

 

Note for 1,2,3 the identical ASME specification is available  as  in  Sec-II Part-B , SB 171 &  SB-111. Same applies for materials 4 & 5. Since the  exchanger design is as per ASME , Sec-VIII, DIV-1 , ASME spec ed  materials would be preferred over ASTM. 

 

What are the design conditions and specification requirements for materials. Does your client have any guidebook or specifications  for operating conditions vs materials requirements? 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Ashok

Process fluid is Shell side Oil VG 220 & Tube side Sea Water....

But customer specifically asked to follow these materials for both sides.

 

Thanks

Praphulla,

 

Some info, related to but not specific to your question ---

 

Sea water  is generally placed on the tube side of a floating head exchanger with HDPE inserts at the tube inlet ends to prevent erosion. In these cases, the tubes are made of non-ferrous material like aluminium brass, tubesheets of Al Ni bronze.

 

What is the process fluid?

Hi Pradip

Since I am dealing with these materials 1st time.. I need some more help from you.

Can you please suggest me the material of construction for the rest of the components of the heat exchanger?

 

Right now I am going ahead for Shell, Channel, Channel cover & Baffles as ASTM B 171 C61400 , Tubes ASTM B-111 C71500 , Tubesheets ASTM B-171 C71500

 

But for girth flanges, nozzle flanges which material is best one since its going to be welded to ASTM B 171 C61400? Can you please help me?

 

Thanks

Praphulla

Praphulla,

 

General composition of  both the alloys are as follows.For sea water applications both the alloys are popular.Alloy C-63000(Ni-Al bronze) is an alloy with higher strength which could be attractive from design point of view and would be costlier than the other variety.

 

 

 

 

 

You may find the attached booklet as good information to start with.

Bronze alloys are  common cost effective choices in sea water applications, many times as castings. However if heat exchangers are to be fabricated entirely from this alloy, it would involve good fabrication practices.

Thanks.

Dear all,

For one of my project, I have to use Sea water for cooling purpose.

For the same customer has suggested following materials for heat exchanger

 

Shell, Channel, Channel cover & Baffles as ASTM B 171 C61400 or ASTM B 171 C63000

 

I never used such type of materials earlier.

 

Can anyone suggest me which option is best option & why?

Also let me know which is costlier ?

 

Thanks

Praphulla
