Hi all

There are few queries related to column reboiler analysis.
I am having one column and two reboiler where one is working and other is standby.
The reboiler is supported from independent structure and on springs.
While selecting springs for these reboilers I am taking operating weight of the reboiler which is given as 44 Te by mechanical and empty weight is 28 Te. The problem I am facing is the huge loads coming on standby reboiler due to the spring support which would be preset for operating loads. And same is the problem for steam out cases when I’m considering reboiler as empty.
Is there any way to reduce these loads?

Thanks regards
Sabiha
