=== Introduction: === |
|||
'''Sample cooler''' |
|||
is a [[Heat exchanger]] OR unfired pressure vessel designed to cool hot sample from process to the desired temperature. Samples cooled from sample cooler are either "'''collected manually for laboratory analysis"''' OR these samples can be connected to '''"Online [[Analyser|Analyzers]]"''' for measurement of [[Chemical property|Chemical Properties]]. |
|||
Most of the times Laboratory instruments and Online analyzers use very delicate sensors. These sensors cannot handle High temperature and pressure samples. Sample coolers are used to cool sample and to protect downstream instruments. |
|||
=== Following are important aspects while designing sample coolers:[edit] === |
|||
# '''Mechanical Design:''' Sample cooler must be designed to handle high pressure and High temperature of samples. Just to give example Sample cooler used in [[steam and water analysis system (SWAS)]] is used to cool Superheated Steam from Boiler which is at temperature as high as 600 Deg C and Pressure 300 Bar. These sample coolers are often certified as Unfired pressure vessels as per design codes like |
|||
#* ASME Section VIII Division 1&2, |
|||
#* VGB Standards, |
|||
#* [[Pressure Equipment Directives (PED)]] |
|||
#* Indian Boiler Regulation (IBR) |
|||
#* Department of Safety and Health (DOSH) |
|||
# '''Thermal Designing:''' This is most important aspect for sample cooler. Sample cooler should able to cool High temperature samples efficiently using Utilities like cooling water, Chilled water or Air. |
|||
# '''Representative sample:''' As samples from sample cooler are used for Chemical analysis. It is very important that sample cooler should not effect properties of samples while cooling same. |
|||
## '''Material Selection:''' Material selection should be such as sample or cooling media shall not cause corrosion of sample cooler parts |
|||
## '''Size:''' Sample cooler parts must be design to hold required flow for effective chemical analysis of samples |
|||
## '''Drain ability:''' |
|||
# '''Safety:''' Sample coolers are used to protect Operator and instrument & sensors from High Temperature Hazard. Thus sample cooler itself is important component to ensure safety. But, In some abnormal conditions sample cooler may face issues like [[corrosion]], scaling or Failure. Thus it is very important to see that sample coolers can be isolated for maintenance. |
|||
=== Type of sample cooler:[edit] === |
|||
Sample coolers can be classified based on: |
|||
# '''Cooling Utilities:''' |
|||
## Water Cooled |
|||
## Air cooled |
|||
# '''Type of [[Heat exchanger|Heat Exchanger:]]''' |
|||
## Parallel flow design |
|||
## Counter flow design |
|||
# '''Construction:''' |
|||
## Helical coil in shell sample coolers: |
|||
##* Single Helical Coil |
|||
##* Double Helical coil in shell |
|||
## Spiral coil in shell sample cooler |
|||
## Shell and Tube sample coolers |
|||
=== Helical coil sample coolers: === |
|||
Helical coil water cooled sample coolers are most common type of sample coolers used in industry Today. |
|||
These type of sample coolers are not only provide efficient cooling of samples but also compact compared with any other type of sample coolers |
|||
Few Manufacturers of helical coil sample coolers are like: |
|||
(1) Lowe UK |
|||
(2) Dr. Thiedig Germany |
|||
(3) Forbes Marshall India |
|||
(4) Sentry USA |
