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.

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

• (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

• (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

• (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

• Heat Transfer
