Sulfur Tank Heating Coil Design

The document provides information about heating liquid sulfur in a storage tank. Liquid sulfur at 145°C is flowing at 2762.5 kg/h into the insulated storage tank. To maintain the tank temperature above the sulfur melting point of 115.21°C, low pressure steam at 160.1°C and 517 kPa is supplied to a heating coil in the tank. Heat transfer calculations determine the heating coil requires 36.249 kW of steam to compensate for heat losses from the tank. Piping is specified to deliver the low pressure steam to the coil and return the condensate.
