Heat Exchanger Engineering & Storage Tank Engineering from Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger.

The Bendel engineering and drafting teams are highly-trained, experienced and focused professionals.  Our internal system stresses definition of design, testing, fabricating, and quality control at each stage of development.

Our engineers and draftsmen are highly-trained and experienced with the following design and engineering software:

• AutoCAD: Design and dimensional layout of Storage Tanks, Pressure Vessels, Reactors and Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers.
• Compress: Mechanical design of Pressure Vessels, Reactors and Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers.
• HTRI: Thermal analysis of Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers.
• Custom “In-House” programs: Developed by our experienced engineering staff for the efficient creation of Bill of Materials and Customer Quotations.

We are frequently called upon by our clients to address unusual and challenging vessel design scenarios, and our engineers currently design to the following industry-recognized codes:

• ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 (U & R Stamps)
• TEMA
• API-650, 620 and 12F
• UL-142
• NFPA-22

The Bendel engineering team has a primary focus to design and produce best-in-class mechanical designs to meet all technical and mechanical industry standards.

Bendel Corporation has developed our Quality Assurance Program around the requirements of the ASME Code (Section VIII, Division I) for the design and fabrication of shop built Tanks, Pressure Vessels and Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers.

The Program is documented in the Bendel Quality Control Manual and is reviewed annually to ensure compliance with all of the latest revisions of the ASME Code.

Pressure Vessel Fabricators – The Science Behind Pressure Vessels

We received some great comments and feedback from our article on the “science behind Heat Exchangers” that we posted on our blog a week ago…so we’re going to discuss about the “science behind pressure vessels” this week!

A sealed container that is intended to hold liquids or gases at a different pressure from the atmosphere around it is known as a pressure vessel. Contemporary boiler pressure vessels are typically composed of steel. Older boiler vessels were composed of wrought iron, copper or cast iron, and held together by rivets.

All Bendel Pressure Vessels and Reactors are designed and fabricated in strict accordance with ASME (Section VIII, Division I). ASME vessels can be fabricated from Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel or Nickel Alloy materials.

Boiler pressure vessels, if punctured or flawed, can cause serious and even fatal accidents. This is a result of the difference in the pressure levels between the substance inside the container and the substance outside the container. If breached, the danger lies in the reaction, as the substance inside the container regulates to the same pressure as the atmosphere outside the vessel.

If the substance inside is compressed, and stored at a higher pressure than the air outside, the substance will rush outwards if the vessel is punctured, creating an explosion. If the substance inside is at a lower pressure, it will create a suction effect if punctured. Pressurized containers can also create explosions if exposed to excessive heat, or other adverse conditions.

As a result of these hazards, extensive laws govern pressure vessels. The laws that regulate pressure vessels are carefully enforced by engineering authorities for the safety of operators, as well as the general public. These laws regulate the design and manufacture, as well as the operation, of pressure vessels.

Boiler pressure vessels are used to produce power by creating and utilizing the energy provided by the creation of pressurized steam. In order to create this reaction, a source of heat is applied to the boiler. The boiler is kept partially filled with water. As the water evaporates and becomes steam, pressure within the boiler vessel rises. The highly heated and pressurized steam provides energy for a number of applications, including early locomotive trains and steam ships.
