Diseño de sistema centralizado de GLP mediante un tanque estacionario de 0.45 m3 para el uso del laboratorio de ingeniería mecánica de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana del bloque G destinado al funcionamiento de la caldera de vapor

Abstract

This project is related to the design of a centralized system whose main fuel is LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), whose distribution will be carried out from a stationary tank of 0.45 m3 for use in a steam boiler that is It is located in the thermodynamics laboratory of the UPS Quito headquarters south campus. The study is based on theoretical elements that will be the basis for establishing optimal operating parameters, one of them is the consumption analysis of a steam boiler, the calculation of the flow rate and the useful capacity of LPG in the system, establishing a tentative proposal of the elements such as the pipes and regulation and control elements. The purpose of the project is to find the feasibility by means of numbers and after that make a selection of its elements, therefore, establish intrinsic criteria of each element (flow, diameter, pressure) with which they will operate, and finally an economic analysis. in a brief way that will serve to define an approximate monetary value of the project.
