Dry Cooling Towers

http://www.ts-aceroinoxidable.com

Dry Cooling Tower is an equipment which is used to cool and maintain the temperature of process hot water at a particular level. Our designing teams are technically qualified of engineer with facility to meet various application need.

Radiator Coil Type Dry Cooling Towers
Dry Cooling Towers are nothing but extended type radiator Cooling. Dry Cooling towers functions in the combination of extended sine wave finned surface heat transfer coils, with axial flow fans. The construction is rigid and supports regular operation. The hot water sent from any equipment is passed to the dry cooling tower. The hot water is cooled and is pushed out from the cooling tower through the outlet pump. This pump is in turn connected to the concerned equipment. Thus, the heat transfer from the equipment is executed with minimum evaporation loss, maintenance cost. The cooling system eliminates the requirement of raw water tank.

Applications of Dry Cooling Tower

Dry Cooling Towers are used in,
1. Lots power plants.
2. Steel manufacturing industries.
3. Geothermal power plants.
4. Diesel Power Plants.
5. Dry Cooling Tower are used for air compressor.

Advantages of Dry Cooling Tower

2. Used for high temperature applications.
3. A huge of water gets conserved on using dry cooling towers.
4. This cooling tower efficacy ensures minimum ecological impact.

  

Pressure Vessels

http://www.ts-aceroinoxidable.com

Pressure Vessels are used in refineries, chemical plants, power plants, and other process. A pressure vessel is a container used to hold gases or liquids at different temperature from ambient pressure.

The stability of a pressure vessel is very important. Its not structurally sound may leak or even burst under pressure depending on the type of liquid or gas inside the tank,

leaks can cause poisoning, fire, or suffocation.Types of pressure vessels are, Thin- walled,  storage tanks, and transportable containers.

Thin-walled vessels -10 times or more the thickness of the wall.

Storage tanks – kind of super thin-walled vessel. Transportation vessels- are mass produced thin-walled vessels. Thick-walled vessel -diameter that is less than 10 times the thickness of the wall which is the least common type of pressure vessels.

Material used in this pressure vessels are steel, aluminium, other metals, carbon, polymers. Design and analysis of Pressure Vessels (Tall Columns, Vertical Pressure Vessels, Horizontal Pressure Vessels, Spherical Vessels, Reactors etc.) based on ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Div. – 1, Div. – 2 and Div. – 3.

Manufacturing Process

Forming-  In this process size and shapes are be changed. There are Hot, warm, cold formings are used.

Pressing- pressing the machine related to the needs.

Spinning- Shape the Heads which means the ends of the pressure vessels.

Bending- Bending or rolling process is done here.

Welding- Two or more materials are joined by melting both materials.

Post Weld Heat Treatment- To make more strong by heating the product in furnace.

Assembly- Process of joining

Painting- Protect from corrosion

Made to serve offshore: Titanium finned-tube heat exchangers

http://www.ts-aceroinoxidable.com
 

Corrosive offshore platform, marine, and power generation applications and environments are served by newly available titanium finned-tube heat exchangers.

Especially applicable when seawater is used as the working fluids through the tubes, SRC titanium versions exchange heat between air or other gases on the fin-side and a fluid on the tube-side. Because of titanium tube strength, higher velocities for seawater inside them are allowed - as increased heat transfer rates achieved, it's declared.

All exchanger coils are custom configured to your dimensional and heat-transfer requirement. The titanium tubes are welded to headers or manifolds in an inert environment by ASME-certified welders. Tube orientation on a header can be staggered or inline to accommodate any air-side pressure drop requirements. The fins are from heavy-gage aluminum or copper. They can vary in density from 4 to 16 fins/inch. The fin-to-tube bond is strong.
