LSU PATRICK TAYLOR SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Background

Louisiana State University located in Baton Rouge, LA is a well-known school for both academics and athletics. TIGERFLOW had the privilege of providing a heat transfer system for the Patrick Taylor College of Engineering. This project was especially challenging as it was a very large system that was required to fit in a very small vertical footprint.

System Description

The unit uses a tube and shell heat exchanger to heat water using steam. The system consists of:

Water side:

  • (1) 26″ tube & shell heat exchangers
  • (2) 60HP Taco end suction pumps
  • (2) 10″ Taco triple duty valves
  • (2) 10″ Taco suction diffusers
  • (1) 10″ Taco air separator
  • (1) 1056-gallon Taco Expansion tank
  • (2) Pressure powered condensate return units
  • (1) Make-up water assembly with pressure reducing valve, pressure relief valve and bypass valve
  • Manifolds, isolation valves and necessary accoutrement

Steam side:

  • (2) Steam Control Valve assemblies with a 1/3-2/3 design and bypass valve
  • (1) ASME Relief valve
  • Manifolds, Thermometers, gauges, isolation valves and other necessary accoutrement

Controls

  • (2) Steam Control Valve assemblies with a 1/3-2/3 design and bypass valve
