Thermal performance testing of cryogenic piping systems.

Author(s) : FESMIRE J. E., AUGUSTYNOWICZ S. D., NAGY Z. F.

Summary

The paper presents a new pipeline test apparatus and the method implemented for the thermal performance testing of cryogenic piping systems. The apparatus was used, with the static liquid nitrogen evaporation method, to obtain accurate heat leakage rate data for full-scale cryogenic pipelines under actual field conditions. Example test data for three 18-metre-long pipelines were given to describe the method of operation. The testing method lends itself to the development of a standardized heat transfer test for low-temperature piping systems. The method may also be extended to refrigeration and medium temperature applications from about 200 to near 400 K.
