If the water seal or inside of the tube freeze, the inside of the product may be pressurized which could cause problems on equipment or devices that are connected to the product. 172-65207MA-08 (SR-3/SR-8) 8 Oct 2020...
Product Description Intended Use The SR-3/SR-8 is an atmospheric indirect heat exchanger for recovering heat energy from waste or flash steam for applications where the steam cannot otherwise be utilized. By using this product for waste heat recovery or steam condensation, system energy efficiency, work environment, and plant scenery can be improved without increasing back pressure on steam-using equipment.
System Principle Because the SR-3/SR-8 steam condensing heat exchanger does not have any valve parts on the Waste Steam Recovery side, it does not create any back-pressure on upstream equipment. For this reason, it can be directly connected to and used with feed water tanks and other vessels that do not meet pressure vessel regulations in most locations.
Do not install valves or orifices at the exhaust outlet, since the SR is an atmospheric type heat exchanger. Maximum Operating Model Pressure Maximum Operating Temperature Heat Transfer Surface Area Maximum Steam Flow Rate Serial No. 172-65207MA-08 (SR-3/SR-8) 8 Oct 2020...
Configuration SR-3/SR-8 Appearance Internal Construction The figure above shows the SR-3. The internal configuration of the SR-8 differs slightly from the SR-3. * Depending on the specifications, the product may or may not feature an overflow outlet for the exhaust pipe.

To handle steam without applying back pressure on steam-using equipment, it is recommended that the piping be of the same diameter as the SR steam inlet (SR-3: 80 mm (3 in), SR-8: 150 mm (6 in)). Suggested diameters for the steam inlet piping...
* Depending on the specifications, the product may or may not feature an overflow outlet for the exhaust pipe. Products without an overflow outlet should be fitted with an overflow line of nominal diameter 10 mm (3/8 in) or more. 172-65207MA-08 (SR-3/SR-8) 8 Oct 2020...

C3 chamfering has been performed on the exhaust outlet. When welding is performed on the exhaust outlet, the connecting tube should be also chamfered and butt welded. Furthermore, when SUS304 is used for the SR, the piping thickness of the exhaust outlet will be “Sch40”. 172-65207MA-08 (SR-3/SR-8) 8 Oct 2020...

(If the valve is closed rapidly, water hammer will occur, resulting in impacts to the SR and the surrounding piping.) 3. When the SR is to be shutdown for long periods of time, discharge all condensate by opening the blow valve (C) at the bottom of the body. 172-65207MA-08 (SR-3/SR-8) 8 Oct 2020...
1. Remove the plug from the inspection opening and check the condition inside the tank. 2. If the inspection reveals heavy grime, close the condensate outlet and the condensate blowdown outlet and perform chemical cleaning by pouring cleaning solution through the exhaust outlet of the SR. 172-65207MA-08 (SR-3/SR-8) 8 Oct 2020...
