HEAT TRANSFER EQUIPMENT & SYSTEMS


Innovators since 1939
FRITO-LAY SOLAR SYSTEM PUTS THE SUN IN SUNCHIPS,
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
The Frito-Lay plant in Modesto
CA has installed Alstrom Model

ASTEG/HC-HTW-2-24-42-144
Steam Generator to manufacture
their Sun Chips brand utilizing
solar collectors.
The solar field is made up of large
curved mirrors (parabolic trough
collectors) that move with the position of the sun, focusing the heat
into tubes of glass filled with high
temperature pressurized water.
That water is directed into the
Alstrom Unfired Steam Generator,
which converts the energy into
steam thereby heating the oil used
to cook Sun Chips. This is the largest operating solar process heat
system in the U.S., producing over
8 million Btu/h (2.4 MW) of thermal
energy under peak conditions.

"This is the first time we're using


the technology in this scenario,"
said Aurora Gonzalez, spokeswoman for Frito-Lay, a division of
PepsiCo. "You normally use natural
gas to heat the cookers. This is an
alternative. It will generate enough
steam to produce the plant's Sun
Chips within a year."
Modesto's sun-drenched climate
made it a natural choice for a solar
farm, Gonzalez said. The Modesto
region recorded 306 days in the
past year that weren't cloudy or
partly cloudy, according to statistics
from the National Weather Service.

U-Tube Immersion Heaters


Series ATX

The "ATX" Immersion Heater is designed to heat liquids in storage tanks with steam, hot water or other
high temperature liquid, flowing through the tubes. Another application is heating of liquid, which flows through
tubes, by immersion the tube bundle in a boiler with steam, hot water or other high temperature liquid.
The number of tube passes is variable in order to provide the highest velocity of liquid for maximal heat transfer.
The Head Type "A" is more economical. The Head Type "B" permits removalRIWKH tube bundle without dismounting
head piping. The channel Head Type "C"DOORZV check and plug ofleaking tubes without dismounting the head.

This data is very important !


Dimensions - Inches
1. It is important to know the distance E
between the tubesheet and first baffle
in order to provide the correct flow
orientation for heat exchanger entrance.
2. Tube bundles for steam condensers usually
have four vertical baffles. If you do not know
the diameter of baffles, please indicate
the shell inside diameter or thickness.
3. If you do not know the number of tubes, the
maximum number of tubes will be installed.
4. The heat transfer area and performance of
the tube bundle may be increased using
tubes with a smaller diameter.
5. If you do not know the bolt circle diameter,
number of bolts and their diameter, use
the tubesheet without bolt holes.

The Alstrom "BEST" Heat Exchanger is designed to heat asphalt, syrup and other highly viscous liquids with
steam, hot water or thermal fluid. Usually, the initial viscosity of these liquids is extremely high, complicating
their transfer from a storage tank to the processing equipment. The viscosity is reduced with the temperature rise
in the heat exchanger, but the pressure drop may remain extremely high. The "BEST" heater has minimal pressure
drop due to proper flow. Because the inlet chamber is free of tubes thepressure drop is minimal.
The flow is divided into upstream and downstream flows, reducing the liquid velocity by half. After heating by tubes,
the flows enter the outer chambers, which are created by the outer tube rows and the shell. The flows enter the next
chamber without the friction resistance of tubes, resulting in a reduced pressure drop.
The liquid flows are directed to cross the tubes, improving heat transfer.

" AHS " Series

The Alstrom Heat Exchanger Series AHS is the only heater, manufactured in accor dance with ASME Pressure Vessel Code and TEMA
Standard that provides real time indication in the case of damaged tube-to-tubesheet joint.
AHS Heat Exchangers feature double tubesheet design with Hydro-Seal Chamber between the tubesheets. This hermetic chamber
contains aninert liquid and is equipped with a pressure gauge. If a leak occurs, pressure of inert liquid evens out with the pressure of the
shell or tube side fluid . The pressure gauge will register the leak and its source. Equilibrium of pressure between the Chamb er and the
leaking side will stop the leak and prevent cross contamination until a replacement tube bundle is installed. Removable head cover allows
visual inspection of the external tubesheet.
In addition, an alarm sensor can be installed to provide real time signal to the systems of control. A tube bundle can be tested without
the shell by providing high pressure air or water into the chamber.
Combination of different materials can be used in manufacturing of Hydro-Seal Chamber to minimize the cost.
This Heat Exchanger was developed by The Alstrom Corporation upon request of a major American chemical manufacturer that hadsuffer ed
heavy financial losses due to cross contamination of heat transfer fluids.

The Alstrom Feedwater Heater "AFH-DTB" represents an important implementation of the innovative
Alstrom Double Tube Bundle shell and tube heat exchanger. The superheated steam enters the heater via
the steam inlet between the inner rows of tubes of the first tube bundle and cooled in the desuperheating zone.
The double segmental baffles control the velocity of superheated steam. The condensation of steam begins
in the first condensation zone, when the temperature of the heat transfer surface is equal to or below the
temperature of saturation at given steam pressure. Uncondensed steam and condensate from the first tube
bundle pass to the second tube bundle, where steam is condensed totally in the second condensation zone.
The condensate is cooled in the drains subcooling zone and drained via drain outlet. The segmental baffles
provide the required velocity of the condensate. When saturated steam is used, the desuperheating zone
is not necessary. Also the drains subcooling zone is eliminated when subcooling of condensate is not required.
Compared to the commonly used closed feedwater heaters, recommended by Heat Exchange Institute,
the Alstrom Feedwater Heater features simple construction, better usage of the inner volume, savings
of materials, simplicity of repair and replacement of the damaged tube bundles and a lower price.
Due to smaller diameter of the shell, the advantages are significantly greater for high pressure applications.
The Alstrom Feedwater Heater "AFH-DTB" is fabricated according to ASME Code, Section 8, Div. 1,
and TEMA Standard. While the conceptual design of the heater is different, all major recommendations
for Feedwater Heaters closely follow the standards of the Heat Exchange Institute.

Alstrom Non-Contaminating Heaters Series "ABX-DTB" provide heat transfer between two flows
via the intermediate third flow. The hot liquid or gas passes through the tubes of the first tube bundle,
while the heated flow passes through the tubes of the second tube bundle. Low pressure water or other
liquid is circulated in the shell by a centrifugal pump, transferring heat energy from the hot flow
to the cold flow. If the heating or heated flow leaks to the shell, the pressure gauge installed in the shell
will show a rise in pressure indicating the necessity for repair. When the shell side pressure equals
the pressure of flow in a leaking tube bundle, the leak will be stopped, giving the maintenance personnel
an opportunity to order and install a replacement tube bundle without the interruption of service.
The contamination of the heating and heated flows is totally eliminated. Since heating and heated flows
are located in the tubes, "ABX-DTB" heaters will be especially effective when the heat transfer occurs
between high pressure or highly corrosive flows by eliminating an expensive shell.
Each tube bundle can be fabricated from different tube diameters and materials, with different numbers
of passes, asLV best suited to the working pressureand corrosivity of flow and intensityRI heat transfer.
The centrifugal pump operation can be a part of a control system.

Series AMS Sludge-To-Sludge & Water To-Sludge Heat Exchangers are custom built
to your requirements in the concentric tube counter-flow style. This design is the gold
standard for the industry, proven to be the most efficient design available.

Sludge must be heated to more than 130F and transferred to a thermophilic digester. The
sludge is then cooled before being pumped to a conventional mesophilic (less than
120F) digester. Series AMS heat exchanger is used to accomplish both tasks removing heat from the thermophilic transfer sludge before it goes to the mesophilic
digester and using the recovered heat to preheat raw sludge for the thermophilic digester.

Series AMS Sludge Heat Exchangers meet


ASME standards and are National Board
inspected and stamped.

Multipass U-Tube Fuel Oil Preheaters


Series ST

The Alstrom Multipass "U-Tube" preheaters series "ST"are used for preheating fuel oil
with steam or boiler water. Fuel oil flows through the tubes and steam or water passes through
the shell. The major features of this construction are the removable tube bundle
for inspection or servicing, and the elimination of strains in the tubing due to free expansion.
The Multipass design allows the selection of 2, 4 or 6 tube passes for the maximal fuel oil
velocity in the tubes within the permitted pressure drop. When boiler water is the heating medium
the low shell side pressure drop increases performance on a gravity circulation hook-up by
increasing boiler flow rate and allowing the heater to keep its full rating.

Typical Applications
Fuel oil heaters
for water boilers
Low pressure drop
provides better
circulation of
boiler water

Tubular Type Fuel Oil Heater


Series "Para-Coil "

PARA-COIL Tubular Type Fuel Oil Heaters are designed to replace the heaters manufactured by Davis
Engineering Corporation and Old Dominion Iron & Steel Corporation which went out of business years ago.
Still, many heaters are in service and in need to be replaced. The PARA-COIL heaters have the same
dimensions and connections as the original heaters. As a result, there is no need in re-piping of the system.
The heat transfer area is created by small diameter plural U-tubes, providing efficient heat transfer.
The 316L stainless steel tubes are seal welded to the tubesheet with 100% joint efficiency.

Hermetic Safe Guard Fuel Oil Preheaters


Series HDT

The Alstrom "Hermetic Safe Guard" preheaters series HDT are used for preheating fuel oil
with steam or boiler water. The HDT preheater features a tube-within-a-tube. The inner tube
contains the boiler water or steam, the outer tube is surrounded by the fuel oil. The space between
the two tubes contains heat transfer solution and is charged in the factory. Should an oil leak occur,
the oil goes into the rear safety chamber and becomes visible in the Alstrom visual indicator.
The high efficiency design includes baffles spaced to provide optimal crossflow and higher heat
transfer rate between highly viscous fuel oil and outer tubes.

Typical Applications

Multipass Safe Guard Fuel Oil Preheaters


Series DT

The Alstrom Multipass "Safe Guard" preheaters series "DT"are used for preheating fuel oil with steam
or boiler water. The DT preheater features a tube-within-a-tube. The inner tube contains the oil, the outer
tube is surrounded by the boiler water or steam. The space between the two tubes contains heat transfer
solution and is charged in the factory. Should an oil leak occur, the oil goes into the rear safety chamber
and becomes visible in the Alstrom visual indicator.
The multipass design allows the selection of 2, 4 or 6 tube passes for the maximal fuel oil velocity
in the tubes within the permitted pressure drop.
When boiler water is the heating medium, the low shell side pressure drop increases performance on
a gravity circulation hook-up by increasing boiler flow rate which allows the heater to keep its full rating.
Typical Applications

To maintain a pumpable temperature for the fuel oil entering to the sucton heater, hot oil from the return line
is blended with cold oil from the storage tank. Afterwards, fuel oil is heated in the "ATL" Suction Heater and
pumped through the Alstrom Oil Preheater "HST" or "HDT" toward the burner. The excessive oil is returned
to the mixing chamber of the "ATL" Suction Heater. The mixing tempetarure Tm is equal to :
Tm = Tb - (Tb - Ts)/RR
Tp - oil temperature leaving ATL, Ts - oil strorage temperature, RR = Vp/Vb - recirculation ratio.
The recommended temperature for No. 6 fuel oil leaving the ATL suction heater is 110 - 120 deg.F.

Tubeless Suspension Suction Heaters


Series ATL
The Alstrom Tubeless Suspension Suction Heaters Series "ATL" provide the heating of fuel oil or any other viscous liquids with steam.
The steam is condensed on the internal surface of inner pipe. The heated liquid passes through the space between outer and inner pipe.
The heat transfer area is created by the inner pipe and longitudinal fins welded to the inner pipe. At the bottom of the heater is a mixing
chamber where the cold liquid from the storage tank is mixed with the return hot liquid. As a result, the viscosity of liquid is drastically
reduced.

Combination Steam-Electric Fuel Oil Heaters


Series ASE

Alstrom Combination Steam-Electric Fuel Oil Preheater Series "ASE" combines a highly efficient steam heated tube bundle with an electrical
element, resulting into one simple, compact, labor-saving package. This unit is highly recommended for installations which require minimal space
and installation costs. The purpose of this heater is to preheat fuel oil with an electrical element for the start-up. When a boiler generates
sufficient steam pressure, the heating is taken over by the steam heated tube bundle and then the electrical element assumes a stand-by function.
Fuel oil flows through the baffled tube bundle and then reaches the electrical element. The removable steam heated tube bundle and electrical
element have "U"- bend construction to provide the expansion of tubing due to its heating.
Two models are available: single shell type "A" and twin shell type "B". The correct selection depends on the actual design of a boiler room.
Indeed, all sizes and performance data may be changed from standard, often at little or no extra cost.

Blowdown Heat Recovery Package


Series ALSTAR

The Alstrom Packaged Blowdown Heat Recovery System saves energy and water in steam boilers and other steam
generators. The packaged unit can be installed in any new or existing steam generator system requireing minimal piping.
Blowdown water enters the built-in flash steam separator, with segmental baffles where two phase flow is separated to
flash steam and drain water. The heat transfer process occurs in the Alstrom Double Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger TBD.
Make-up water passes through the shell side of the heat exchanger. The heat energy of the blowdown water is transferred
to the make-up water in three steps. The drain water flows through the tubes of the left tube bundle, providing the initial
heating of make-up water. Flash steam in partially condensed on the external surface of the shell of the heat exchanger
and further in the tubes of the right tube bundle, providing additional heatingg of make-up water. The Alstrom Blowdown
Heat Recovery System recovers 94% and more of heat normally lost.
The shell and tubes of the Alstrom Double Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger TBD are fabricated from high quality 316
stainless steel, resulting in long lasting, trouble-free operation.
This simple stand-alone design permits a high level of heat recovery from drain water and flash steam at minimal cost.
The actual sizing of the system and its components depends on boiler performance, TDS concentration in make-up and
boiler water, and the percentage of condensate returning to the boiler. The Alstrom Corporation offers OEM requirements
for the product series are welcome.

Blowdown Heat Recovery Package


Series ALSTAR-L

The Alstrom Packaged Blowdown Heat Recovery System saves energy and water in low pressure steam boilers and
generators, with a small ratio of flash steam-to-drain water in the blowdown. The packaged unit can be installed in any
new or existing steam generator system requireing minimal piping.
Blowdown water enters the built-in flash steam separator, where two phase flow is separated into flash steam and drain
water. Flash steam is condensed on the external surface of the shell of the heat exchanger and condensate drops to the
bottom of the steam separator where it mixes with drain water. The combined water flow passes through the tubes of
the Alstrom Heat Exchanger and heated make-up water passes through the shell. The Alstrom Blowdown Heat Recovery
System recovers up to 94% of heat normally lost.
The shell and tubes of the Heat Exchanger are fabricated from high quality 316 stainless steel, resulting in long lasting,
trouble-free operation.
This simple stand-alone design permits a high level of heat recovery from drain water and flash steam at minimal cost.
The actual sizing of the system and its components depends on boiler performance, TDS concentration in make-up and
boiler water, and the percentage of condensate returning to the boiler. The Alstrom Corporation offers the optimal
OEM requirements for the product series are welcome.

Alstrom Eco-Pack Water Heater represents a proven, economical solution for providing water for central heating, service and process applications.
Steam condenses in the shell, and water is heated in the tubes. Due to small volume of water in the tubes, steam control valve responds virtually
instantaneously to water flow fluctuations.
Unique stand design permits vertical or horizontal installation depending on available space as well as easy tube bundle replacement.
Single or Double Tubesheet models provide engineering solution for most applications including cross-non-contaminating requirement.

Service Water

Process Steam

Usually, city water is heated to 140 F for domestic use and 180 F for laundries, kitchens and
other service applications. In orer to prevent corrosion of the heater by released oxygen, the
tube bundle and head are manufactured from stainless steel.
Various types of temperature regulators are available but the best control is
acheived by use of additional tempering valve (Fig. 1).
This system requires that continuous running return water will be mixed with
city water before entering tempering valve. Stevens Institute of Technology Lab tests
confirm that the outgoing temperature is maintained in the range of +/- 2F., which exceeds
ASSE Standard 1017, Performance requirements for Temperature Actuated Mixing Valves
for Primary Domestic Use.

The common temperature raise of central heating water


or glycol is from 160 F to 180 F, but other conditions
may occur. Since closed heating system practically has
no free oxygen, economical carbon steel head and
tubesheet may be used. Three-way water temperature
regulating valve in conjunction with pressure regulating
valve provide desirable temperature control (Fig.2)

**Optional Double Tubesheet


Leak Eliminating Construction
This TEMA recommended design
eliminates possible contamination
of either tube or shell side fluid
with at tube-to-tubesheet joint
leakage. Should a leak occur, the
liquid goes into the seal chamber
filled with inert liquid. This event
TEMA INTEGRAL DOUBLE TUBESHEET
will be reported via pressure
transmitter to system control or can be visually detected by pressure gauge
reading. Meanwhile, the leak will stop due to equal pressure in the seal
chamber and leaking part. Seal welding of tubes to the external tube sheet and
quality expansion in to the double grooved inner tube sheet provides
sufficient time for replacement.

Hot Water Storage Tank


Series ASTOR

All stainless steel construction @ prices competitive with

Tanks made of carbon steel with lining or copper cladding.


No more rusty tanks or cracked lining to worry about.
Many years of reliable, trouble-free service.

Astor storage heaters are designed for buildings where hot water consumption fluctuates over time or is subject to sudden increases in demand. These heaters
consist of a vertical or horizontal storage tank made of 316 Stainless Steel and heating section that may be heated by steam, water, thermal fluid or other
available heating media. The heating section may consist of two circuits that utilize two available heating mediums. The actual design of the heating section
depends on the specific demands of a client.

CM

Superior corrosion resistance of 316 Stainless Steel provides extended life expectancy of the system at costs competitive with conventional systems with lined
tanks.

Type "A"

Water storage tank with


immersed heater. The
heat transfer process is
conducted by natural
convection. This simple
and economical type of
tank is used for systems
that have occasional
water consumption with
long intervals between
each. The heater does not
have any moving parts
and requires minimal
maintenance. If the heater
is damaged, the stored
water must be drained to
provide access to the tube
bundle.

Type "B"

Water Storage tank with


pump-driven internal
water circulation. Water
from the bottom of the
tank enters the shell of
the built-in heat
exchanger. The heated
water is returned to the
middle of the tank. Due
to intensive forced
convection, the entire
volume of water is
heated quickly and
deficiently. Hot water
must be drained in order
to provide an access for
maintenance and repair
of the heat exchanger.

Type "C"

Water storage tank with


pump-driven internal
water circulation and
external heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger can
be serviced or repaired
without draining the
stored water from the
tank. An optional standby
heater provides uninterrupted hot water supply.

Type "D"

Pump-driven internal water


circulation and external
heat exchanger with two
tube bundles. The heating
media passes through the
tubes of the right tube
bundle and stored water is
circulated through the
tubes of the left tube
bundle. A pump circulates
water in the shell of the
heat exchanger providing
heat transfer between two
tube bundles. This unique
design provides noncontaminating heating of
domestic water with any
heating media.

Clean steam unfired steam generators utilizes feed water that is free
from boiler water treatment chemicals. Use of clean steam is commonly
associated with hospitals, food processing plants, commercial kitchens
and research labs for cooking, cleaning, sterilization and humidification.
Usually clean steam generators are made of stainless steel pressure
vessel and accessories. When city water is used for make-up, continuous
blowdown is required. The Alstrom patented blowdown heat recovery
system reduces consumption of the heating media.

Unfired steam generators are used to protect fired steam boilers from
harmful chemicals contained in the return condensate, such as in pulp
and paper processing. Heating section and storage section are
fabricated using materials that will be cost effective for the process
steam condition. Tube bundles can be manufactured from stainless
steel, cupro-nickel or titanium. Pressure vessels are offered in quality
carbon steel or high grade stainless steel.

Lifetime Warranty on Titanium Tube Bundles

When heat transfer fluid of high temperature water is available as a heat source, the Alstrom unfired steam generator provides
low pressure steam to intended user. Ask for Alstroms self-operating unfired steam generator

The Alstrom Compact Water Heater combines the advantages of both


instantaneous and storage heaters. The package is constructed from
316L STAINLESS STEEL 316L STAINLESS STEEL a vertical storage tank and a built-in shell & tube heat exchanger.
MATERIALS
Steam, hot water or heat transfer fluid passes through the shell of the
DESIGN PRESSURE
125 psig
150 psig
heat exchanger. City water is heated by forced convection in the tubes
400 F
400 F
DESIGN TEMPERATURE
of the heat exchanger and enters the storage tank. When the
consumption of hot water stops, the heat losses are compensated by natural convection heat transfer between the external surface of the heat
exchangers shell and stored water. In addition, the heated water is circulating between the heat exchanger and the storage tank by natural
convection, eliminating the need for recirculating pump. This systems design permits fast cleaning, repair and replacement of the tube
bundle without draining the water from the tank. The storage tank is already full of heated water that is available to the user during the
shutdown. Unique features of this system reduce its price and maintenance expenses while making it more reliable. Model ASH-V stores
water at 140 deg. F (other storage temperatures are optional). A small tank with a large heat transfer section is used as a semi-instantaneous heater.
A large tank with a small heat transfer section will serve as a storage
heater.

Unique diamond shape pattern provides multiple vented leak ports for
positive indication of potential contamination. Double wall tubes are
available on ASH Series Hot Water Generator. Double wall tube
options include Copper, 90/10 Cu-Ni, and 316 SS materials.
Double Wall heat exchangers are
designed to give a positive indication of
potential cross-contamination of potable
water and other liquids in an economical
and thermally efficient way.

The Alstrom Boiler Feedwater & Condensate Return Packaged Systems are economical, reliable, easily installed & maintained units.
The system contains four modules: tank, pump set, control panel & base. It can be delivered as knock down or shop assembled package.
Steam trim, gauges and valves are installed in the field.
When steam is used in process, and part of condensate does not return to the boiler, the feedwater system is required.
Boiler mounted level feeder controls the water supply from the feedwater tank to the boiler. Returned condensate is mixed with make-up
water in the tank. In plants, where the returned condensate does not provide sufficient heat to heat the feedwater to the desired
temperature, a heater assembly can be provided. The heater is selected for 50% makeup. Deaerating Feedwater Systems with a
Stainless Steel Tank should be considered for installations when boilers corrosion is a problem.
When a small amount of make-up water is required, then condensate return system is used, and the tank level regulator controls the
pumps operation. Make-up water must be supplied to the boiler by a boiler feeder or boiler level control.

The pr imary funct ion of The Alst rom Deaer ators is to remove n on-condensable
gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, a nd air) f rom boiler f eedwater. T he p resence of
undissolved oxyg en in f eed- water is a principal f actor in cor rosion o f steam
system c omponents c onstructed of i ron, steel, o r brass. Carbon dioxide,
besides b eing it self cor rosive,
will ac celerate co rrosion when
combined wi th o xygen. Carbon
dioxide in fe edwater w ill also
carry o ver in to the steam and
subsequently in
to the
condensate, f orming corrosive
carbonic acid th at will erode
piping a
nd heat
transfer
equipment. Air (non-condensable
gases) is an insul ator an d will
"plate o ut" o n he at transfer
surfaces as the ste am condenses,
greatly re ducing he at trans fer
efficiency.
Alstrom s pray-scrubber deaerators are design ed to re move thes e non condensable gases and reduce the oxygen content of the feedwater to not more than
0.005 cc/liter, and reduce the titratable fr ee car bon d ioxide to zero. A s an a dded
benefit, th e fee dwater from a A lstrom d eaerator, being at saturation temperature,
eliminates problems caused by cold water being injected into a boiler such as thermal
shock and an unstable water level created by collapsing steam bubbles.

Operation
Incoming cold or tempered water first e nters i nto t he in ternal d irect contact vent
condenser of th
e ve rtical
heater
compartment, w here stainless steel spray
valve(s) direct the f low of wa ter in conical
sheets into a st eam atm osphere. (Tempered
water is a m ixture of p umped c ondensate
and cold water make-up.)
In the intern al direct co ntact vent condenser
most of t he c orrosive gases are removed
before the water strikes any steel surfaces
and is expelled from the deaerator through
a stainless steel vent pipe with a
restricted orifice to the outside.

The hot de aerated water then pa sses into


the ste am scr ubber se ction w here
remaining trac es of un disolved gases
are released as the water is vigorously scrubbed with a l arge excess of steam
containing no free oxygen.

Modular Packaged Systems
STANDARD FEATURES

ACCESSORIES / OPTIONS

ALSTROM Type ABMX boiler feed systems are offered as


standard for boilers up to 125 HP and 40 PSlG pump
pressures in simplex and duplex configurations. Custom
systems are also available. Receivers are constructed of
heavy steel plate with necessary reinforced tank
connections, including internally unrestricted vent for added
safety. For general applications receiver capacity is sized to
allow approximately 1 gallon of nominal capacity per boiler
horsepower (smaller receivers may be utilized for high makeup water conditions; larger receivers are recommended for
high condensate return conditions). Each system includes a
gauge glass assembly and a makeup water feeder (internal
mechanical type). Simplex units may be field converted to
duplex. Pumps are selected for intermittent service unless
otherwise requested.

Exhaust Head
Series Cyclone

Cyclonic Action

Spins out entrained water, oil and dirt leaving only clean,

dry exhaust.

Noise Reduction

MY

Large exhaust opening reduces velocity and minimizes


exhaust noise and does not produce back pressure.

CY

Line Protection

Cyclone exhaust head Spiral Baffle protects exhaust


line from entry of rain, snow and dirt directing them to
the drain.

How it works
Water and Oil entrained in Exhaust Steam and Gases may cause damage to roofs and sidewalls and unsightly icing and
dirt accumulation. The spiral baffles swirl the steam or exhaust gases and the resulting CYCLONIC ACTION throws the
entrained water, oil and dirt to the ouside of the cyclone where it is directed to the exhaust head drain.

Quality Construction
All surfaces of the Exhaust Head slant toward the drain so that THE UNIT IS SELF-DRAINING AND SELF-CLEANING
REQUIRING LITTLE OR NO MAINTENANCE. The vessel walls are constructed of 3/16 or 5/16 carbon steel. With all
external and internal surfaces painted with high-heat, rust-resistant paint, the Alstrom Cuclone Exhaust Head is constructed
for many years of troouble free service. Its symmetrically streamlined design combines modern appearance with design
efficiency.

What is The Optimal Heat Exchanger?


Engineering

Let us first determine the optimal heat exchanger:


The superior heat exchanger is the one that provides the required performance, within design limitations at a minimal cost.

The major design limitations are:


Maximal length of a heat exchanger
While offering the same heat transfer area, the longer heat exchanger with a smaller shell
diameter is less expensive then a shorter one with bigger shell diameter.

Maximal flow velocity


The higher velocity of flow results in an improved heat transfer rate and smaller heat transfer
area.
C

CM

MY

CY

CMY

Maximal pressure drop


The higher pressure drop permits a higher velocity of flow.

Size, location and construction of connections


Your system is unique. To simplify the piping and proper fit to your system, you would prefer to
have a heater with connections of your choice.

Price versus quality


In general, we will work with and within your limits. While we always optimize a heat exchanger
for the lowest price, in some cases we recommend the election of more expensive materials and
design for a higher quality product. For instance, stainless steel tubes have superior mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. When stainless steel tubes are TIG welded to the
tubesheet, the joint efficiency equals one (1). In many cases, these advantages dictate the
usage of more expensive stainless steel tubes. Another example is usage of a channel head
which is more laborious and costly to produce than a bonnet head. However, a channel head
makes it very easy to check and plug leaking tubes without dismounting the piping. A channel
head permits the repair of a tube bundle in fuel oil suction heaters without draining the fuel oil
from the storage tank.

Stainless Steel Tubing versus Copper Tubing


In Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

New study of Brookhaven National Laboratory, contributed by NORA (The National Oil Heat Research
Alliance) supports our long policy of using 316 Stainless Steel tubing for manufacturing shell& tube heat
exchangers.
According to NORA study, one of the keys to maximize fuel performance is characterizing oil sludge and
determining its possible contribution Deposits found in copper tubing consisted of oxidized fuel. The
clogging of copper fuel lines was one of the problems discovered, as the study found solid black particles
that adhered to tube surface. Cooper has also been known to accelerate fuel-degradation process,
forming particulates. On the other hand, far fewer solid and gum were produced by fuel when exposed to
steel and stainless steel. The reports recommend using steel piping materials wherever it is feasible.
This phenomenon is taken in account for heat transfer calculations. TEMA (Standards of the Tubular
Exchanger Manufacturers Association) determines Chemical Reaction Corrosion
Coking, the hard crust deposit of hydrocarbons formed on heat transfer surfaces, is a common form
of this type of fouling. We can not recommend any means to remove this deposit from the tubing.
The high thermal conductivity of copper can not compensate poor thermal conductivity of organic solid
black particles resulting in decrease of heat transfer.

New Method & Systems of Blowdown Heat Recovery


Engineering

INTRODUCTION
Water fed to the steam generator SG contains suspended and dissolved solids. When the water evaporates,
most of these solids remain in the drum. For maximum performance, the concentration of dissolved solids in
the SG water should be maintained within the limits recommended by the boiler's manufacturer. For this
reason, part of the SG water is drained from the system. Some solids are light and float on the surface of the
drum's water. The surface blowdown is usually made on a continuous basis. When the steam consumption is
increased more make-up flow is supplied to the steam generator, and more blowdown flow is required. The
common practice is to use the energy wasted with blowdown to heat the make-up water. It is also necessary
to cool the blowdown water to 140 deg. F in accordance with the requirements of the environmental agencies
to eliminate the drain of hot water to the sewage system.
STATE OF THE ART
The blowdown heat recovery systems are divided into two categories: low or high-pressure systems.
C

CM

High Pressure Systems


These systems (Fig. 1) operate under SG pressure where the blowdown valve is installed after the heat
recovery system. For example, a High Pressure Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger can cool blowdown water by
heating the make-up water (Sentry Company).

MY

CY

CMY

Low Pressure Systems


The common procedure is to use a valve to reduce the pressure of the blowdown water in the tank to 10-15
psig. In this case the blowdown valve is installed before the heat recovery system (Fig 2). The pressure of the
saturated water decreases due to adiabatic expansion, and part of the blowdown water evaporates generating
flash steam. The flash steam and the temperature of remaining water declines to the temperature of saturation
at the new pressure. The remaining water exits the blowdown tank and flows to the heat exchanger which
heats make-up water. The flash steam is directed to th
(Penn Separator Corporation).
If the low-pressure steam user is too far from the blowdown tank, a substantial investment in piping may be
required, and in many cases the flash steam is lost to the atmosphere. This is particularly true for older model
boilers, fabricated and installed in an era when because of the relatively low fuel oil prices, heat recovery was
not an important consideration.
The mass portion of the flash steam and its heat content as a function of the ratio of the pressure in the steam
generator and blowdown tank are shown on Fig 2. From the diagram we can see that with an increase in
pressure, the flash steam mass portion and heat content increase. While the flash steam mass portion remains
relatively small, its heat content may reach more than 50% of the heat energy wasted with the blowdown
water. It is obvious that the user must recover this energy by this or other means.

New Method & Systems of Blowdown Heat Recovery


Engineering

THE ALSTROM BLOWDOWN HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM ALSTAR


The new method of blowdown heat recovery is based on separating the two-phase flow into liquid and vapor
fractions. Blowdown water enters the flash steam separator with a working pressure of 10-15 psig. Here the
two-phase flow is separated into flash steam and water. The make-up water passes through the shell side of
the heat exchanger. The make-up water is initially heated by the blowdown water fraction, and further by
flash steam condensation. Separating the heat transfer process into two consequent stages creates a
temperature difference between the heating and heated fluids similar to a countercurrent flow arrangement.
The result is an increase in the heat transfer rate and more efficient heat recovery systems.
Depending on the initial working pressure of the steam generator, its capacity, and the amount of flash steam,
The Alstrom Corporation offers three options.
Option One. The steam generator blowdown produces a large amount of flash steam
This option requires separation of the water and flash steam in the stand alone flash steam separator
(Fig. 3). The heat transfer occurs in the Double Tube Bundle Heat Exchanger DTB. The heat energy of the
blowdown water is transferred to the make-up water in three steps. First, the blowdown water fraction flows
through the tubes of the left tube bundle (sub-cooling section), providing the initial heating of the make-up
water. Then the flash steam is condensed in the tubes of the right tube bundle (condensing section), which
provides additional heating of the make-up water. Finally, the high temperature flash steam condensate is
pumped to the make-up water. In this option saved flash steam condensate justifies the additional investment
to recover it by proper means of pumping the condensate to the make-up water pipe.
Option Two. The blowdown of the steam generator contains a moderate amount of flash steam
This model includes a DTB heat exchanger, installed in the flash steam separator (Fig. 4). The heat energy of
the blowdown water is transferred to the make-up water in three steps. Flash steam is partially condensed on
the surface of the heat exchanger shell. Then the remaining flash steam is condensed in the tubes of the right
tube bundle (condensing section). The blowdown water mixed with flash steam condensate, flows through
the tubes of the left tube bundle (sub-cooling section), providing the initial heating of the make-up water.
Option Three. The blowdown of low-pressure steam generator contains a small amount of flash steam
The heat energy of the blowdown water is transferred to the make-up water in two steps.
First, the flash steam is condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger shell, which provides heating of the
make-up water. The blowdown water fraction, mixed with flash steam condensate, flows through the tubes
of the tube bundle (sub-cooling section), providing the initial heating of the make-up water. In this option the
condensing tube bundle may be unnecessary (Fig. 5).
The heat and mass rates of the condensing and sub-cooling sections, as well as the temperature distribution
are calculated from the heat balance equations by the in-house computer program Alstar (see attached
printout).

New Method & Systems of Blowdown Heat Recovery


Engineering

Option Four. The blowdown of high-pressure steam generator contains a very large amount of flash steam
When this report was almost completed, we received a request for a blowdown heat recovery system, where
the possible heat recovery rate was more than what the make-up water should absorb. The outlet temperature
of the make-up water was more than 200 deg. F. In order to prevent the extensive de-aeration, the maximum
outlet temperature of the make-up water should be about 140 deg. F. In this system blowdown water from the
tank enters built-in separator (Fig. 6) where the drain water is separated from the flash steam. Small portion
of the flash steam condenses on the external side of the inner shell. The remaining major portion of the flash
steam is directed to any user of low pressure steam, for instance de-aerator or feedwater tank. The flash steam
condensate mixes with the drain water and this mixture enters the tube bundle. The make-up water is heated
by this mixture and the condensed part of the flash steam. In fact, this is the only solution to recover the
excessive energy of the flash steam. While this design is similar to many other existing systems, by including
it to our product line we cover the full range of possible applications.
The temperature distribution in the heat recovery system that heats 38.4 gpm of make-up water entering at 70
deg. F with 4.5 gpm of blowdown water from 300 psig steam generator is shown on the diagram (Fig. 7). First,
the mixture of blowdown water fraction and flash steam condensate (drain water) heats the make-up water to
85.2 deg. F, with the outlet temperature of the drain water at 87 deg. F (1.8 deg. F temperature approach). The
positive temperature approach is required to provide the proper temperature difference in the sub-cooling
section of the DTB. The make-up water then is heated to 104.1 deg. F in the condensing section. The final
outlet temperature of the make-up water is higher than the outlet temperature of the drain water - a result,
which may be only achieved in true counter-current heat exchangers.
Continuous Blowdown Heat Recovery System is designed for maximum blowdown and make-up water flow
rates. In the process industry steam consumption can change during this period, which will affect the flow
rates and cause one to be temporarily interrupted. If interruptions occur in the blowdown flow, the make-up
water is supplied to the feedwater tank without heating it. While this does not create a problem, interruption
of the feedwater flow eliminates the cooling of the blowdown water. It may occur when the water in the
feedwater tank reaches the highest level and the liquid level indicator stops further supply of the make-up
water. This problem may be solved by flowing city water, which will be heated and drained to the sewer. In
this case heat energy is wasted.
The decision as to which system is best should be based on an economical comparison of the systems taking
into consideration initial investment and energy savings.

COMPARISON OF BLOWDOWN HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS


The efficiency of a heat recovery system is based on the ratio of the heat energy transferred to the make-up
water and the energy lost without heat recovery. Table 1 contains the calculated efficiency of various
blowdown heat recovery systems as a function of the steam generator pressure (%).

When the pressure in the steam generator is 15 psig, the flash steam lost to the atmosphere has small effect on
the efficiency of the blowdown heat recovery system. For such applications the system evaluation is based
solely on the initial investment. However, the results change drastically with an increase in pressure. At 150
psig the efficiency of a system without heat recovery from flash steam is reduced to 45%, and any additional
pressure will lead to further reduction in efficiency.
ALSTAR with condensate recovery provides the maximal performance which is equal in efficiency to
systems which utilize flash steam. The major advantage of the ALSTAR is its stand alone packaged design
which does not require additional piping. Therefore, the ALSTAR may be installed in any old or new steam
generating system regardless of the location of its other components.

ECONOMICAL & ECOLOGICAL EFFECT


The actual savings of the Alstrom Blowdown Heat Recovery System depend on the percentage of return
condensate, boiler & make-up TDS, annual usage, and energy cost. Table 2 contains the data of few
Blowdown Heat Recovery Systems for 1000 hp boilers with 85% efficiency, 50% returned condensate,
working 8000 hours per year, energy cost $4.0 per one MBH, and 70 deg. F inlet make-up water temperature.

The energy and cost savings can be calculated for different conditions:
Energy Savings = [ES x ( (1-R) x T x HP ]/( 8000 x 0.5 x 1000)
Cost Savings = Energy Savings x FC/4
where:
R - actual mass ratio of return condensate to generated steam
T - annual boiler usage (hr/Yr.)
HP - boiler Horse Power
FC - energy cost per one MBH
Preliminary calculations show that the cost of the Alstrom Blowdown Heat Recovery System will be in the
range 0.3-0.5 of the total cost savings. The return of investment is expected to be within 4 - 6 months. The
improved boiler efficiency reduces fuel consumption and emission of flue gases to the atmosphere. Also, the
system eliminates the exhaust of the flash steam to the atmosphere.

The improvement of boiler efficiency reduces fuel consumption and, as a result, emission reduction of flue
gases to the atmosphere. Table 3 presents data for estimating this reduction.
The emission of flue gases is subject to government regulations-existing, pending and proposed. The 1990
Clean Act Amendments and Kyoto Protocol on global warming restrict and punish for excessive
contamination of the atmosphere. Therefore, any improvement of boiler efficiency, including the Blowdown
Heat Recovery, has not only economical, but also ecological effect, which can not be underestimated.

CONCLUSIONS
1. The ALSTAR has high efficiency for all ranges of steam generator pressures.
2. The ALSTAR works after the blowdown valve with low pressure of 10-15 psi .The High Pressure Shell
& Tube Heat Exchanger operates under the operating pressure of the steam generator. This difference is
important for high-pressure applications, since at high pressure a failure of the heat exchanger affect the
boiler operation.
3. The ALSTAR is better protected against TDS (total dissolved solids) deposits forming on the heat
transfer area. This statement needs further explanation. The total dissolved solids contain different
chemical compounds which respond differently to changes in temperature. The maximum concentration
of some of these compounds decreases with reduction in water temperature, leaving deposits on the heat
transfer area. These deposits reduce the heat transfer area performance, and in extreme cases plug the
heat exchanger. When the pressure of the blowdown water decreases to 10-15 psig in the ALSTAR, its
temperature reduces to the corresponding temperature of saturation. In addition, the water partially
evaporates resulting in further growth in chemical compound concentrations. Due to the reduced
temperature and high concentration of chemical compounds, part of the blowdown water TDS settles in
the separator. Here the separator serves as a TDS trap, reducing the TDS concentration in water en-route
to the heat transfer area. This phenomenon improves the ALSTAR heat transfer area performance and
increases the systems life. The High Pressure Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers performance decreases
due to the deposits on the heat transfer area.
4. The ALSTAR saves energy in steam boilers and other steam generators. It reduces emission of flue gases,
and eliminates the exhaust of the flash steam to the atmosphere. Both of these factors have positive effect
to ecology.

Sizing Heaters and Steam Requirements for


Domestic Hot Water Systems
-Hotel-

An adequate supply of hot water is a must in motels, hotels and other types of multiple
dwellings. Improper sizing and design of hot water supply systems will invariably lead to
problems such as dissatisfaction of the customer due to undersized systems or wasteful
economics of oversized systems.
The report is based on recommendations of The ASHRAE Applications Handbook, good
practice of major USA manufacturers of the instantaneous, semi-instantaneous and storage
heaters, and the experience of the engineering staff of The Alstrom Corporation.

Although this report is limited to analysis of service, hot water supply at minimal initial
investment and maintenance cost. Hot water consumption depends on the hotel size, occupancy,
auxiliary services, and to a degree, the level of luxury provided by the hotel. While consumption
of hot water does not depend on the of water heater used, the rate of hourly energy consumption
will vary widely from one type of heater to another. The same building can get the necessary hot
water supply from a large boiler and a small instantaneous heat exchanger, or from a large
storage heater and a small boiler. A hot water storage heater will reduce the size of the boiler;
minimize hourly steam rate, gas, oil or electricity supply as opposed to an instantaneous and
semi-instantaneous water heater. Of course, the daily water and energy consumption does not
depend on the type of the heaters, but it will definitely affect the initial cost of the system and its
maintenance.

The correct sizing of boilers and heat transfer equipment for hotels required the
understanding of the basic system design. This report provides a short review of the major
considerations for the end user and designer.
The review is restricted to guest room systems that utilize hot water for lavatories,
showers, bathtubs and basins. Although consumption patterns in guest rooms are subject o wide
variations, the general classification can be achieved depending on the type of hotel. Kitchens
and laundries vary greatly, and always re a subject to custom design. Fortunately, hot water
demand for kitchens and laundry rooms for a specific hotel can be estimated by the hot water
consumption of equipment utilized in these facilities.
In addition, the hotel engineering community prefers the separation of the kitchen and
laundry due to the severe impact of laundry start up demands that often coincide with the days
peak guest room consumption.

Temperature Regulators and Steam Traps


By definition, service water heaters are designed to heat cold water to desirable
temperature where demands are intermittent and are subject to frequent fluctuations. Selection
of the temperature regulator is important decisions that will affect the temperature expand during
the load variations, and, in to some degree, determines the size of the heating section. Indeed,
the size of the heat transfer equipment depends on the actual steam pressure that equals to
temperature regulating valve.

Sizing Heaters and Steam Requirements for


Domestic Hot Water Systems
-HotelThere are three types of temperature regulating valves (TRV).
First: Self-contained vapor tension, Pilot-operated and Pneumatically-operated. Each has unique
advantages and disadvantages. Temperature regulator installations vary from systems with large
storage tanks that change temperature gradually as hot water is drawn off to instantaneous shell
and tube heat exchanges that require a fast temperature response time. Because the volume of
water in the tubes of the instantaneous heaters is small, variable flow causes uncertain
temperature fluctuations.
Self-contained (TRV) or pilots may require 10 to 80 seconds to respond to a temperature
change. This can cause momentary temperature fluctuations until the regulator is stabilized to a
changed condition. The use of a self-contained (TRV) with light spring decreases the
temperature span from a closed to an open position to approximately 6 deg. F. for valve, 10
deg. F to 1 1/14: valve and 13 deg. F to 2 valve. Actual span is determined by the fill fluid and
spring combination that varies with the adjustable temperature range selected. The short stroke
characteristic of the TRV design minimizes temperature span.
If self-operated (TRVs) must be used (air or electricity is not available) and a smaller
span is essential then further improvement may achieved by using a larger valve, half opened at
peak steam flow. Due to the linear characteristic of the sliding gate valves, the use of a larger
valve will reduce the differential temperature needed to achieve required steam flow when the
water flow is suddenly changed.
Pilot-operated regulators offer the advantage of higher flow rates and larger sizes,
however, are more expensive. In addition their control may be erratic if they are not sized
perfectly for flow rates and operating pressures. Please note that minimal differential pressure is
not required for proper operation of the pilot-operated self-contained temperature regulating
valve. The use of pilot-operated regulators should be reserved for use only where compressed
air or electrical supply is not available.
Pneumatically-operated Control Valves with temperature controller usually respond
faster to changed conditions and hold a closer set temperature. Pneumatic temperature
controllers with adjustable proportional band (span) and reset function can continuously maintain
the hot water temperature very close to the set point. Less expensive bi-metallic models are
available in accuracies similar to self-contained TRV, providing the advantage of quicker
response. These less sophisticated controllers are very popular due to reasonable cost.
Pneumatically-operated control valves with temperature controller, like the self-operated TRV,
do not require minimal differential pressure for proper operation.
All types of regulators do not have an immediate response. If the close temperature
control is required, the addition of a thermostatic mixing valve will temper the water temperature
within 2-3 deg. F., lower steam temperature that increases the size and cost of the heat transfer
equipment.

TRV.

The Float & Thermostatic Traps are commonly used to discharge air and condensate from
heat exchanges, preventing steam from entering return piping in steam heating systems. An
undersized steam trap will cause condensate to back into the heat exchanger and result in a steam
hammer. It is a good practice to oversize a steam trap 2(x) times the maximum capacity of the
temperature regulator. The steam trap selection is based on a differential pressure, which equals
to operational pressure in the heat exchanger less back pressure of the condensate line.

Instantaneous Hot Water Heaters


Instantaneous water heaters are selected to heat water during the peak momentary
consumption at the maximal temperature rise. A boiler, steam and condensate piping, TRV and
other accessories are selected to satisfy this maximal heat demand. With a drop in heat demand,
the TRV will reduce steam supply by controlling the hot water temperature.
The most common design of these heaters is shell and tube heat exchangers where the
water is heated as it flows through the tubes (Alstrom ECO-Pack Package). The tube side of the
instantaneous water heaters is constructed from stainless steel, copper or other nonferrous alloys.
Since steam is not corrosive fluid, the shell is constructed from carbon steel. The instantaneous
water heaters have relatively small size and can be easily installed, repaired or replaced in the
boiler room with limited access. Due to their small size and low cost of materials used,
instantaneous water heaters are inexpensive. The optimal heat exchanger will be one with
maximal permitted length because of its smaller diameter. High velocity of water improves heat
transfer rate and prevents scaling. This type of heaters requires the largest source of steam to
compare with other heaters.
Steam consumption can be reduced by sub-cooling the condensate (Alstrom Steam Saver
Package). This method results in smaller diameter of piping and accessories, and it reduces heat
loss from the condensate line. By sub-cooling the condensate, heat loss from the flash steam,
occurring after the steam trap, is prevented, resulting in substantial energy savings and
preventing water hammer in the condensate line.

Semi-Instantaneous Water Heats without Storage Section


Several domestic manufacturers of Semi-instantaneous heaters use the shell as a storage
section for hot water. Since the ratio of storage capacity to recovery is measured in seconds,
they perform as instantaneous heaters. Therefore, their commercial name may result in certain
confusion.
The storage and heating sections of these heaters are constructed from corrosion resistant
materials, In addition, a circulating pump is provide in order to reduce temperature fluctuations
of the outgoing water. The manufactures of semi-instantaneous water heaters claim that outlet

Sizing Heaters and Steam Requirements for


Domestic Hot Water Systems
-Hotelwater temperature is maintained within 4 deg. F due to continuous circulation of water by the
pump. Unfortunately, there is no explanation whether this rang is maintained at steady flow rate
or is the temperature span from closed to open TRV.
Usually, hot water systems for hotels are designed to have hot water available
continuously at the fixtures by using return piping. In this case the circulation pump does not
provide any advantage, and the use of semi-instantaneous water heart with very small storage
section is hardly justified. High cost of materials, circulating pump, electrical panel and power
supply significantly increases the cost of these heater compared with instantaneous water heaters.

Compact Water Heaters


The Compact Water Heaters have storage section, designed by manufacturers to
accumulate heat in order to meet the surges of hot water demand for a limited period. Since
there is no need to satisfy momentary heat demand, these heaters require significantly smaller
source of steam than instantaneous water heaters.
C

The Compact Water Heaters have similar design to semi-instantaneous Water Heaters.
In this case, a circulating pump is useful to intensify heat transfer and prevent temperature
stratification of the stored water. As a result, 90% of the storage section is assumed to be useful.

preliminary estimate shows very close results. Please not, that there is a possibility of
preliminary estimate being twice as large then the actual fixture count.

Pressurized Hot Water Storage Heaters


Pressurized Hot Water Storage Heaters use vessels of certain volume. They consist of a
storage section and an immersed tube bundle. Steam or boiler water passes through the tubes of
the tube bundle. The incoming cold water enters the bottom of the storage section where it is
mixed with stored water and heated by a natural convention. Due to dilution by the cold water
entering the heater, only 60 to 80% of the storage section is assumed to be useful.

Sizing Heaters and Steam Requirements for


Domestic Hot Water Systems
-HotelDuring the day, flow rate of water entering the pressurized vessel, equal to the flow rate
of the water leaving the vessel. Although flow rate of the incoming water varies, the heating
section is selected for relatively steady average water rate called recovery. If water consumption
equals the recovery rate, than the average temperature of the stored water remains the same.
When the water demand is increased, the average temperature of the stored water is decreased.
And when the water demand is decreased, the average temperature of the stored water is again
increased. Since the recovery is significantly smaller than peak water demand, the use of storage
heaters requires smaller boilers, piping and accessories.
Storage heaters require the smallest source of steam in comparison with other heaters. At the
same time, they required large space in the boiler room. If the heating section or circulating
pump is damaged, the stored water has to be drained. In order to prevent corrosion, inner surface
of the storage section is line with epoxy, cement or other types of coatings. This protective layer
is prone to cracking and, therefore, requires periodical inspection. Due to thermal inertia of the
stored water temperature control is less problematic, and self-contained valves will provide
inexpensive and accurate result. Storage heaters are selected to maintain a reasonable constant
supply of steam or boiler water, but the actual water flow rate depends on hot water demand
during the day. An analysis of heat consumption patterns in hotels and other type of dwellings
shows that there are three heat consumption periods as follows: heat accumulating heat discharge
and standby.
Heat Accumulating
Heat Recovery is larger than Heat Consumption. The mean temperature of the stored
water is rising. The TRV is totally open to provide maximal supply of steam. When the set
temperature is achieved, the steam supply is reduced to minimum to compensate the heat loss.
Heat Discharging
Heat Consumption is larger than Heat Recovery. The mean temperature of the stored
water is dropping. Again, the TRV is totally open to provide maximal supply of steam.
Standby Period
When the stored water reaches the set temperature of TRV, steam consumption will be
reduced to compensate for the heat losses from the storage heater and the return price.
In conclusion, the method of hot water storage in the pressurized vessels is based on
1. Constant volume of stored water
2. Variable incoming and outgoing water flow rate
3. Variable temperature of stored water
Heat, stored in the Pressurized Storage Heater
Q (a) = M*Cp* (Ts-Tm) Btu
Where:
Ts-set temperature of the TRV that is maximal permitted temperature of the stored water
Tm-minimal permitted temperature of the stored water
M-Net Weight Storage Capacity of the Heater (lbs)
Cp-specific heat of water
As follows from this equation, heat stored in the Pressurized Storage Heater does not depend on
temperature of the incoming water.

Atmospheric Hot Water Storage Heaters


Atmospheric Hot Water Storage Heaters have similar design to Pressurized Storage
Heaters, but they are open to the atmosphere. This type of storage heater is commonly used in
several European countries and is used in the US for cold water storage.
The incoming cold water is heated to the requested temperature at a constant water flow
rate, usually, called recovery. The heating section is selected for recovery rate. If water
consumption equals the recovery rate, than the level of the stored water remains the same. When
the water demand is increased, the level of the stored water is decreased. And when the water
demand is decreased, the level of the stored water is again increased.

The incoming water flow rate is constant during the day, while the flow rate of the
outgoing water depends on hot water demand during the day. Obviously, the flow rate of
outgoing water is equal or larger than flow rate of water entering the vessel. An analysis of
water consumption patterns in hotels and other type of dwellings shows that there are three water
consumption periods as follows: water accumulating, water discharge and standby.
Water Accumulating
When water demand is lower than hourly water supply, then the level of the stored water
is rising. The TRV is open to provide heating of the incoming water to the set temperature.
When the maximal level is achieved, the water supply is stopped by the liquid level control, and
steam supply is reduced to minimum to compensate the heat losses.
Water Discharging
When water demand is larger than hurly water supply, then the level of the stored water
drops. The steam supply remains the same as during the period of water accumulation.
Standby Period
When the stored water is not consumed, then steam consumption will be reduced to
compensate the heat loss from the heater and the return pipe. The water flow rate equals to the
flow rate of re-circulation.
In conclusion, the method of hot water storage in the Atmospheric vessels is based on:
1. Variable volume of stored water
2. Constant incoming and variable outgoing water flow rate
3. Constant temperature of stored water

Alstrom Hot Water Generator

The Alstrom Corporation introduced a new, patented hot water heater that combines the
advantages of instantaneous and storage heaters (Alstrom Hot Water Generator ASH). The
Alstrom Hot Water Generator consists of storage section and built-in instantaneous shell and
tube heat exchanger. Steam or boiler water passes through the shell. At average recovery period
the incoming water enters the tubes of the tube bundle, where it is heated to the required storage
temperature. When the water consumption is lower than the recovery rate, the temperature
regulator reduces the supply of the heating media in order to prevent the overheating of the
stored water. And when the water demand is higher than the recovery rate, the temperature
regulator provided the maximal available steam.

The immersed shell serves as an additional heat transfer area. Due to the natural
convection, water circulates from the bottom of the tank via tube bundle to the upper part of the
storage tank. If the heating section is damaged, the storage tank can be disconnected. The repair
or replacement of the heat transfer section can be performed without draining the tank. Hot
water already stored in the tank can provide uninterrupted minimal hot water demand (for
example, at night).

The heater is constructed from 316L stainless steel storage section and immersed heat
exchanger. Many manufacturers of 316L storage tanks provide up to 10 years guarantee against
material and workmanship failures.
Alstrom Combinational Hot Water Generator ASH can be sized as a Pressurized or
Atmospheric heater.
Sizing of Storage and Compact Heaters
ASHRAE Handbook recommends two different methods of sizing Pressurized Storage
and Compact Heaters without offering any analytical backup to their approach. Each offered
method yields a very different result when selecting a heater for the same set of data. The oldest
practice is to heat total tank volume of incoming cold water to set temperature within one hour.
Unfortunately, this method does not take into consideration the actual pattern of heat supply and
demand. Many manufacturers of heat transfer equipment recommend their methods with some
justification, but they usually recommend ASHRAE methods for government projects.

ASHRAE recovery Storage Capacity Ratio (RSR) Method


Volume of a storage section depends on recovery rate of the heating section. The higher
the recovery rate results in the smaller storage section. 1995 ASHRAE Application Handbook,
Chapter 45 provides the relationships between recovery and storage capacity for the various
building categories.

The usable storage capacities are net usable requirements. Due to temperature
stratification the average temperature of the stored water is lower than the desirable outlet
temperature. Assuming that 70% of the hot water in a storage tank is usable, the actual storage

The comparison of the tabulated data shows that the ASHRAE methods result in
significant difference of the storage section size and heat recovery without any explanation.
The previous calculations are based on consumption of 140 deg. F hot water using 40
deg. F cold water to obtain 100 deg. F. mixed water at the fixture. Any variation of these
standard temperatures will affect the hot water consumption. The Correction Factor from the
following formula should multiply the calculated standard Hot Water Demand: CF = [ (Tm-Tc) /
(Tm-40)] x [Th-Tc) / (140-40)]

For example, if the heater is sized for 792.0gal/hr recovery and 1321gal storage section, but
actual cold-water temperature is 68 deg. F and hot water temperature is 176 dg F, then:
CF = [(100-68) / (100-40)] x [(176-68) / (140-40)] = 0.576

The Alstrom method of Sizing Hot Water Storage Heaters
The Alstrom method of sizing storage heaters is based on comparison of integrated heat
supply and demand during the periods of accumulation and discharge. It utilizes the more
general concept of storing energy by heat recovery rather than water recovery.
This method was developed by Russian scientist Dr. Hludov with modifications made by
the Alstrom President, Dr. Ari Nir. The similar ideas and useful recommendation are provided
by the paper of Valentine A. Lehr, PE, A Hot Water Requirements for Hotels in Heating,
Piping Air Conditioning Magazine.
The Alstrom method utilizes statistical data of daily hot water consumption per unit. This
data may be extracted from ASHRAE handbook, but the most accurate information can be
established from the measured hot water demand pattern of comparable buildings.
The Average Hourly Heat Recovery equals:
Q = a * n*Cp (Ts-Tc) /24
Where:
a: hot water demand at maximal day water recovery per one unit gal/day.
n: number of units.

Due to heat loss in return pipe the temperature of the hot water at the far end may be 18

Sizing Heaters and Steam Requirements for


Domestic Hot Water Systems
-HotelFor storage and compact heaters heat exchanged depends mostly on the difference
between steam temperature and cold water temperature that may be assumed constant during the
day. The following heat balance equation can be used:
Q(dm) = M x (Ts -Tm) x Cp + Q(h) x DP or
Q(h) = [Q(dm) M x (Ts Tm) x Cp] / DP
Where:
Q(dm)- heat demand during discharge period (Btu)
Q(a)- heat recovery (Btu/hr)
DP- discharge period (hr)
M- weight of the stored water (gal)
For the discussed case, maximal Accumulated Heat during the day equals 555960 Btu.
This heat will be discharge within period from 7a.m. to 12 a.m.
Therefore:

The calculations show that the sizing of a compact heater and, as result, heat recovery
depends on the permitted temperature fluctuation within the storage section and hours of
discharge period. There are many options for size selection of the storage heart and,
consequently, steam demand.
The pressurized Hot Water Heaters selected by ASHRAE Methods provide
quicker reheat time, and obviously, need more available steam. Further decrease of the storage
section may result in insufficient storage capacity and drastic increase in steam peak demand.

Return Piping

Usually, hot water systems for hotels are designed to have hot water available
continuously at the fixtures by using return piping. When the designer selects Heat Recovery
Section, the amount and temperature of return water should be taken in consideration.
Return Water Flow Rate = Heat Loss / Cp x (Th Tr)

Sizing of heat recovery section without taken into consideration, the amount and temperature of

Major Problems Scale Formation, Corrosion & Water Hammer

CM

MY

CY

CMY

The common problems that occur in the heat exchanges are: scale formation, corrosion,
and water hammer. Indeed, the rate of scaling increase with temperature rise and prolonged
usage because calcium carbonate and other solids lose solubility at high temperature from hard
water. Scaling results in poor performance of the heater and increased pressure drop. Scaling
can be reduced by selecting a heater with high water velocity to generate turbulent flow that
prevents the precipitation of scales on the surface. The Alstrom Corporation recommends water
velocity in the 5-8 ft/s that may be achieved in the water heaters with a pressure droop of 3 7.5
psi.
Corrosion problems increase with temperature because corrosive oxygen and carbon
dioxide gases are release from the water. The Alstrom Corporation recommends the use of 316L
stainless steel that has superior corrosion resistance. The concentration of chlorides should be
maintained at the minimal recommended level in order to prevent stress corrosion.
Steam hammer can cause serious damage to the tubes of any heat exchanger. A vacuum
breaker and/or air vent should be used in accordance with the type of steam system installed.
The proper steam trap should be selected for the total capacity of the temperature
regulator (not the capacity of heat exchanger!) for the pressure at the trap. A careful
consideration of the above-mentioned points, before installation is done, could prevent costly
repairs that may be caused by steam hammer. In addition, a properly sized relief valve must be
installed on the heated waterside to protect heat exchanges from possible damage due to
volumetric expansion.
The weakest point in the heat exchange is tube-to-tube-sheet joints. Tube expansion and
further seal welding tubes to the tube-sheet achieve the most efficient joins.

Sizing Heaters and Steam Requirements for


Domestic Hot Water Systems
-Hotel-

Conclusions
Instantaneous and Semi-instantaneous Heaters require minimal space and very large
steam supply. They may be recommended for applications where unlimited or inexpensive
steam is available. Self-contained TRV can be used if there are no momentary changes in hot
water consumption. Otherwise, pneumatically operated TRV should be used.
Storage heaters require minimal and steady supply of steam, but they have the largest size
of storage section as opposed to compact heaters that require smaller size of the storage section,
but they need more hourly steam supply. The major factor in sizing of compact heaters is the
duration of the discharge period that depends on the type and location of the hotel. Surprisingly,
size of the storage section has limited effect on the requested heat recovery. Self-contained TRV
provides sufficient temperature control.
In comparison with empirical ASHRAE Methods, The Alstrom Method provides
analytical approach for sizing of storage section, steam requirement calculation, and prediction
of temperature variations of the mean stored water temperature during the periods of heat
accumulation and discharge. All of the discussed methods provide legitimate result that may be
considered by a designer, depending on specifics of the particular project.
Atmospheric Hot Water Storage Heaters have minimal sizes and require minimal amount
of heat. The usage of these heaters should be considered.
All mentioned above methods can be used for the sizing of storage heaters and boilers.
Economical analysis, space limitations, hot water demand for kitchens, laundries, swimming
pools, as well as, other factors may affect the decision of the designer to select heaters and
boilers.
It should be taken in consideration, that design calculations are based on heating cold
water, entering at minimal temperature during the year. In reality, this temperature will be
higher during most of the seasons and, consequently, heat demand will be reduced. The TRV
will reduce the steam supply and, as a result, boilers and heaters will not be used for their full
capacity.
Over sizing of boilers and heaters increases the initial cost of the system, but he under
sizing of the heating capacity may result in sever shortage of hot water during the coldest periods
of the year. The systems designer shall establish the delicate balance between the investment in
the system and its reliability.

Properties of Liquid Water


Engineering

Water is used in large buildings to move heating and cooling energy. For example, water
is used to distribute the cooling from a chiller plant to one or more air handlers. Under all
normal HVAC conditions, water is incompressible and the only significant property that
varies is the water density as shown in table.

Since the properties of water in HVAC applications do not change very mXch, we can
come up with the following general equation that may be useful. The pumping power (in
horsepower) for water is given by:

Horsepower

gallons per minute x total head in feet


3960

The flow rate of water through the pipe (in gallons per minute) is given by:
GPM = 0.0408 x (pipe diameter) 2 x (water velocity)
Where the pipe diameter is in inches and water velocity is in feet per minute.
The weight of water in a given section of pipe is found from:
Lbs of water = 0.34 x pipe length x (pipe diameter) 2
Where the pipe length is in feet and pipe diameter is in inches.

How to use above table.


Assume a unit required to heat 3,000GPH of water from 50 deg.F to 160 deg.F using 50 psig steam
pressure. From the table you will find that under these conditions each square foot of heating surface will
heat 60 GPH.
Therefore by dividing 3000 by 60 you will require a unit with 50 square feet of heating surface.

SHELL & TUBE HEAT EXCHANGERS

RECOMMENDED BOLT TIGHTENING PROCEDURE

Heat exchangers are pressure tested before leaving the manufactures shop in accordance with ASME
Code requirements. However, normal relaxing of the gasketed joints may occur in the interval between
testing in the manufacturers shop and installation at the jobsite. Therefore, all external bolted joints
may require retightening after installation and, if necessary, after the exchanger has reached operating
temperature.
It is important that all bolted joints be tightened uniformly and in a diametrically staggered pattern as
illustrated in bellow, except for special high pressure closures when the instructions of the manufacturer
should be followed.

Values calculated using industry accepted formula T = KDP where T = Torque, K = torque coefficient (dimensionless), D = nominal diameter
(inches), P = bolt clamp load, lb.
K values: waxed (e.g. pressure wax as supplied on high strength nuts) = .10, hot dip galvanized = .25, and plain non-plated bolts (as
received) = .20.
Torque has been converted into ft/lbs by dividing the result of the formula by 12
All calculations are for Coarse Thread Series (UNC).
Grade 2 calculations only cover fasteners 1/4"-3/4" in diameter up to 6" long; for longer fasteners the torque is reduced significantly.
Clamp loads are based on 75% of the minimum proof loads for each grade and size.
Proof load, stress area, yield strength, and other data is based on IFI 7th Edition (2003) Technical Data N-68, SAE J429, ASTM A307, A325,
A354, A449, and A490.
