  • Jacket, chiller and line pressure limits

    Hey all,

    About to do a pressure test on the new glycol lines and tanks. What limitations should I be concerned with here. I do not have any specs on the jacket rating so I will assume it to be 15 PSI - Standard no? - We have 6x15bbl Conical dual zone and 3x15bbl single zone Serving tanks.

    As well, our chiller guy is clueless with regards to calculating operating pressure ex chiller and in the lines as well as typical flow rates and pressure drop limits. Any help is much appreciated. Would I be safe to assume 3-5gpm flow rate? It is a closed loop system with a 40 gallon reservoir. I fear that this chiller is a high pressure one - how would I go about reducing it through the lines and especially before it gets into my jackets and blowin' them apart?

    Cheers,

    Conan
