  2. Deaerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaerator

    The treated water falls into a storage tank below the deaerator. [20] [3] Oxygen scavenging chemicals are very often added to the deaerated boiler feedwater to remove any last traces of oxygen that were not removed by the deaerator. The type of chemical added depends on whether the location uses a volatile or non-volatile water treatment program.

  3. Marine heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_heat_exchanger

    Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a tube bundle which is placed inside the larger shell. [2] Due to this design these exchanger require twice the footprint of the plate heat exchanger in order to perform maintenance. Depending on the amount of cooling needed, shell and tube heat exchangers can be built in single or double pass ...

  4. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

    It is used in some household stoves [1] and in some industrial process vessels (tanks), such as shell and tube heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and static mixers. Baffles are an integral part of the shell and tube heat exchanger design. A baffle is designed to support tube bundles and direct the flow of fluids for maximum

  5. LNG carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_carrier

    The gas produced in boil off is traditionally diverted to the boilers and used as a fuel for the vessel. Before this gas is used in the boilers, it must be warmed up to roughly 20 °C by using the gas heaters. The gas is either fed into the boiler by tank pressure or it is increased in pressure by the Low Duty [clarification needed] compressors.

    LPG distribution in Colombia. LPG distribution in Suriname. LPG distribution in Brazil. LPG distribution in Ecuador. Several types of valve connections for propane, butane, and LPG containers exist for transport and storage, sometimes with overlapping usage and applications, and there are major differences in usage between different countries.

  7. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Under the pre-2015 standard, a 75 US gal (280 L; 62 imp gal) gas storage water heater with a nominal input of 22 kW (75,000 BTU/h) or less was able to have an energy factor as low as 53%, while under the 2015 standard, the minimum energy factor for a 75-US-gallon gas storage tank water heater is now 74%, which can only be achieved by using ...

  8. Tube cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_cleaning

    A mechanical tube cleaning system is a cleaning body that is moved through the tube in order to remove deposits from the tube wall. In the most simple case it is a matter of a brush that is moved in the tube by means of a rod or a flexible spring (device). In large-scale technology and industrial sector, however, several processes have ...

  9. Ship ballast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_ballast

    A trick commonly used on boats with water ballast is to link port and starboard tanks with a valved pipe. When preparing to tack, the valve is opened, and water in the windward tank, which is higher, is allowed to flow to the lee side, and the sheet is let off to keep the boat from heeling too far.
