How do I evaluate a heat up or cool down scenario?

Heat transfer and pressure drops work against each other. You can maximize your heat transfer by increasing overall heat transfer coefficient and confirming you are in turbulent flow regime. Also confirm pressure drop is not an issue. That said each vessel design is unique, to get specific expertise with your project, we ask that you gather this information and contact us. 

  • What is the Tank Design?
  • What is the heat transfer surface design?
  • Operating Volume
  • Connection sizes?
  • Heat Transfer Media
  • Pump Limitations
  • Media Inlet Temperature
  • Steam Media Pressure - starting temperature of product
  • Goal - heating or cooling? To what temperatures?
