Chiller Tr Calculation for 25 Ton Hydrogen Peroxide Storage Tank

07/17/2013 3:51 AM

I am going to have a 25ton hydrogen peroxide jacketed storage tank,the incoming hydrogen peroxide will have a temperature of 30 degree,we have to maintained the hydrogen peroxide temperature to 25 degree.So will be supplying a chilled water to its jacket,I need to calculate that how much will be the capacity of chiller and what will be the flow rate of this chilled water?

Insufficient information. We need to know the flow rate of the H2O2, the insulation characteristics on the tank, and the ambient temperature.

In order to do that, the thermal capacity of hydrogen peroxide and its incoming flowrate will be required, things that are missing from the original post.

It seems a bit bizarre. Why wasn't the option of chilling the incoming peroxide looked at?

What is the concentration? If it's 90% or HTP (High Test Peroxide) then your tank will also need some form of pressure relief as that rocket fuel tends to spontaneously decompose at those temperatures.

If you are, "going to have a 25ton hydrogen peroxide jacketed storage tank", I assume that means that you will purchase, "a 25ton hydrogen peroxide jacketed storage tank".

Do yourself a BIG favor and have the rest of the system designed by someone who at least understands "a 25ton hydrogen peroxide jacketed storage tank" and all that is required to design, fabricate, test and deliver such a tank.

That is not you.

We haven't even begun to discuss the cooling of this imaginary tank of 2(HO).

Hire someone who knows what to do.

What ever happened with the AHU's?

Perhaps the <...25ton hydrogen peroxide jacketed storage tank...> is already on its way from the vendors, and perhaps the original poster is attempting to do some back-of-the-envelope process design that will extricate the project from a particular problem that has been overlooked up to this time. That being so, the project will probably not have been through a formal HazOp Study.

So it may be best for CR4 readers and their families and friends to stay well clear of the immediate area for the foreseeable future, perhaps?
