Hi guys, I do have equipment operating at 2kgf/cm2 and because of that I need to reduce the pressure from 21kgf/cm2 to 2kgf/cm2 through a control valve.
2 questions:
1- This pressure reduction makes me lose energy
2- If this equipment was tested in a high pressure like 21kgf/cm2, if I operate it at 6kgf/cm2 the heat transfer is more or less efficient?
Consider 2 scenarios:
1- The equipment is a heat exchanger
2- I will heat water tthroughdirect steam injection.
