Tank and Pressure Vessels :
A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold fluids (gases or liquids) at a pressure significantly higher than atmospheric pressure. Pressure vessels are used in various industries, including:
1. Oil and gas
2. Chemical processing
3. Power generation
4. Aerospace
5. Healthcare
Common types of pressure vessels include:
1. Boilers
2. Tanks (e.g., storage tanks, process tanks)
3. Reactors (e.g., chemical reactors, nuclear reactors)
4. Heat exchangers (e.g., shell and tube heat exchangers)
5. Piping systems
A vessel intended to store gases or liquids at pressures considerably higher than atmospheric pressure is called a pressure vessel. It is a sealed container that is resistant to many kinds of pressure, such as dynamic loads, external pressure, and internal pressure.
Types of Tank and Pressure Vessels :
Here are some common types of pressure vessels:
1. Boilers: Used to generate steam or hot water for power generation, heating, or processing.
2. Tanks: Store fluids, gases, or liquids, such as water, oil, or chemicals.
3. Reactors: Contain chemical reactions, like polymerization or hydrogenation.
4. Heat Exchangers: Transfer heat between fluids, like shell and tube or plate heat exchangers.
5. Separators: Split fluids into phases, like oil-water separators.
6. Columns: Used in distillation, absorption, or stripping processes.
7. Drums: Store liquids or gases, often used in oil refineries or chemical plants.
8. Vessels for High-Pressure Applications: Designed for extreme pressure conditions, like hydrogen storage.
9. Cryogenic Vessels: Store extremely low-temperature fluids, like liquid nitrogen.
10. Pressure Spheres: Spherical vessels for high-pressure applications.
11. Process Vessels: Used in various industrial processes, like mixing, blending, or reacting.
12. Storage Vessels: Hold fluids or gases for later use.
13. Surge Vessels: Mitigate pressure surges in pipelines or systems.
14. Accumulator Vessels: Store energy or fluids for later release.
15. Hydrogen Storage Vessels: Store hydrogen fuel for clean energy applications.
