Particular emphasis is placed on safety concepts for evolving systems group 1 fluids (dangerous fluids) and group 2 (fluids under pressure) and related risk analysis TEACHING METHODS Theoretical lectures with exercises. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Basic Components. References to the main components found in process and service systems: piping, pumps, surface and direct contact heat exchangers. Shut-off, safety, and control valves. Components are discussed based on actual data found in catalogs and technical manuals. Water Service. Supply: water mains, wells, reservoirs, waterways. Storage: level, underground, and elevated tanks, pressure vessels (pressure tanks). Sizing the hydraulic network and choosing a pump from the catalog. Sizing the usable volume for storage tanks. Compressed Air and Technical Gas Service. Compression stations; types and uses of technical gases. Storage in and withdrawal from cylinders. European Community Legislation 97/23/EC – PED and related system implications. Steam Service: Sizing saturated and superheated steam distribution networks, pressure reduction units, desuperheaters. Drainage and condensate collection networks. Structural sizing of the network and expansion joint system. Liquid fuel service: chemical and physical characteristics. Storage tanks. Pumping and heat tracing systems. Burner feed rings (atmospheric and pressurized), regulation and safety devices. Burners (mechanical atomization, pneumatic, centrifugal, with steam injection; on/off control, dual flame, flame modulation). Sizing of fuel transfer and burner feed systems.
