Determination of Operating Conditions
Applied Vacuum/Boiling Point:
t
s
= Boiling point at 1 bar (normal pressure)
t
p
= Boiling point at P mbar (operating pressure)
p = Operating pressure in mbar
Example methyl alcohol
:
1.
Boiling point at normal (1 bar) atmospheric pressure = 65°C.
2.
Constant b = 0.160
3.
Operating pressure = 130 mBar
4.
Boiling point at 130 mBar pressure = 24°C
