Installation temperatures provided by the client from a gas processing plant site as below:
Max. Surface Temp. (direct sunlight) = 85 C Max. Ambient Temp. = 46 C Min. Ambient Temp. = 0 C Working Fluid (Propane) Operating Temperature = -20 C
In the Caesar Stress Analysis, design temperature T2 which is 46 C has been used. The question is why 85 C is not considered instead? This line is one of the compressor side load piping.
