Application
In this project an existing cooling system in A°C° material at the Melilla diesel plant was replaced with a new system in GRP and PE100 materials.
Characteristics
Construction of a complete cooling system (supply and return), consisting of two lines of diameter DN700 (FRP system) and DN800 (PE100 system). The FRP material was used for air flights, while the PE100 was used in the buried sections.
PH Technology was responsible for the design, supply, manufacture and installation of the complete cooling system.
Operating Conditions
The design conditions imosed were 7 bar of pressure and a temperature of 30ºC in the supply lines, and 3 bar of pressure and a temperature of 40º in the return lines.
A flexibility analysis was performed throughout the raised sections using CAESAR II to size the elements of the pipework and its supporting structures correctly.
Material
The arial sections were constructed of an isophthalic acid polyester resin based FRP.
The buried sections were constructed of PE100 polyethylene.
