SHELL & TUBE OR CROSSOVER SYSTEM

Sizing

Each Shell & Tube or Crossover system is sized individually for each application. For proper selection of a system that will insure maximum heat recovery please present the following detailed information to Penn Separator. With this information Penn can offer a system proposal based on your specific application.

1. Boiler Ouput #/hr or hp.
2. Boiler Operating Pressure (psig).
3. Low Pressure Use in psig.
4. Percentage or Amount (gpm) of Continuous Blowdown.
5. Percent or Amount (gpm) Make-Up Water.
7. Temperature of Make-up Water.



Suggested Specification

Furnish and install as shown on drawings. A Penn (CROSSOVER Flash Separator & Plate and Frame) or (Flash Separator Shell & Tube) Continuous Blowdown Heat Recovery System as manufactured by Penn Separator Corp., Brookville, PA.

The System shall provide 90%-95% heat recovery from __________ #/HR. continuous blowdown and shall have a make-up water capacity of __________ gpm. for boiler or boilers operating at a pressure/pressures of __________ psig. flashing to a low pressure deaerator, feedwater heater, or other low pressure steam use at __________ psig.

The Heat Recovery System shall consist of the following components and accessories:

  1. Vertical ASME Code Sec VIII, Div. 1 Stamped Flash Separator with connections for tangential inlet with stainless steel wear plate, blowdown overflow type drain, centrally located steam vent to provide a minimum 97% quality steam, and tank clean out connections as well as couplings as required for accessories.

  2. Heat Exchanger:
    (A)
    Plate & Frame heat exchanger ASME Code rated with parallel herringbone stainless steel plates held together by zinc plated bolts on EPDM ethylene propylene tapered gaskets. The flow shall enter the heat exchanger through threaded stainless steel connections in opposite directions to provide U values of 3 to 5 times that of conventional heat exchanger. The heat exchanger shall be located on the skid to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.

    OR

    (B)
    Shell & Tube "U" Tube type heat exchanger. ASME Code rated with removable (stainless steel or copper) tubes 20 B.W. G., cast iron head, and steel tube sheet. Make-up to enter the head and tubes through NPT connections. The blowdown connections NPT are located on the shell. The heat exchanger shall be located on the skid to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.

  3. Externally mounted caged pneumatic level controller with stainless steel float and control valve which maintain the water level in the tank and heat exchanger. A level gauge shall be included to visually monitor this level.

  4. Stainless steel gauge panel with three remote thermometers showing temperatures of the makeup inlet, make-up outlet, and blowdown water to drain.

  5. A safety relief valve will be provided to limit the systems maximum pressure to protect the components of the system.

  6. Clean-out valve located on the bottom of the flash separator and level control piping, provided for periodic cleaning of the flash separator.

  7. Optional accessories can include a multiboiler manifold A23M for __________ (No.) of Boilers, a high level or low level alarm switch, pressure gauge, and sample cooler with isolation valves and piping.

The flash separator, heat exchanger, components and accessories shall be assembled on a channel frame in a manner, which allows gravity drainage of the blowdown through the system and to allow easy installation and maintenance. The entire assembled system shall then receive a coat of blue enamel paint and be packaged in a crate for shipment.
