You need to clarify this request first.

Are you trying to chill propane by using some other refrigerant? If so, how much propane per hour, initial phase and temperature, and desired phase and temperature?

Or are you trying to use propane as a refrigerant to chill some other fluid? If so, how much other fluid per hour, etc.? Propane is flammable and thus not much longer used (or even allowed) as a refrigerant, but in certain oil-field applications and in the absence of prohibitions, propane may be suitable for this purpose.

Design data may be difficult to come by, except from first principles derived from a P-h diagram and/or propane property tables.

I think your request is not clear well. perhaps, following explanation can help you,

propane chiller is a kind of exchanger, kettle type, that, according to process design requirnment, is used in gas plants for cooling process stream(s)(usually gas). saturated liquid of propane enters the shell side, and tubes submerged in sat. liq with an evaporation space above it. process stream in tubes absorbes laten heat from propane liq., converts it to saturated vapor.

you should noted that the choosing refrigerant type depends on the desired min. temp. for cooled process stream. the min. sat. liq. temp. for propane is about minus forthy four deg F at atmospheric pressure. thus, with consideration of five to ten deg. F as approach temp., the possible min. temp. of minus thirty nine to minus thirty four deg. F will be provided for process stream.

Hello Kavoshgar

do you can explain that how can control the outlet temperature of gas by level of propane in shell side of chiller?

thanx
