Abstract

Reactor or pressure vessel is the core equipment in processing of petroleum products, working in high temperature and high pressure environment. In vertical reactor skirt is main supporting structure and it is taking all dead and thermal load of reaction. Skirt is attached to reactor by its standard attachment method like matching of center line and outer diameter. In this paper reactor is taken of stainless steel material and thermal analysis is done for this two attachment method by without hot box and with provision of hot box. From FEA result it is shows that with provision of hot box leads to less thermal gradient which is help in generation of less thermal stress at joint and center line attachment method should be used to improve life of joint.
