| Exchanger / Vessel Type |
Select either a Single Exchanger or Stacked Exchanger, for the type of heat exchanger vessel will be supported by the foundation. |
| Footing Type |
-
Combined Footing — footing will be designed as monolithic footing connecting two piers. Design philosophy is same as combined footing from General Mode.
-
Isolated Footing — footing will be designed as two isolated footing supporting each pier. These footing can be made identical from footing geometry page. Design philosophy is same as isolated footing for soil footing or pile caps from General Mode.
|
| Support Type |
- Soil Footing — Footings are support by soil bearing.
- Pile Cap — Footings are supported by piles.
|
| Strap Beam |
(Isolated Footing type only) Exchanger footing will be designed as two isolated footing below the piers connected by a strap beam. |
| Bottom of Footing Elevation (B.O.F.) |
Bottom of footing elevation is used for detail drawing purpose. Based on this input elevation at top of concrete (T.O.C.), elevation at top of soil (T.O.S) and elevation at top of pedestal (T.O.P.) are displayed in detail drawing |
| Unit |
Unit of length for all the input in this page only. |
| Heat Exchanger Length (L) |
Length of the heat exchanger. |
| Upper Exchanger Diameter (UD) |
(Stacked Exchanger only) Diameter of the upper exchanger. |
| Lower Exchanger Diameter (LD) |
Diameter of the lower exchanger or, if a Single Exchanger, the diameter of the sole exchanger. |
| Height from Pier Top to Upper Exchanger (H) |
Height from the top of the pier to the center line of the upper exchanger. For a single exchanger, the height is measured to the center line of the single vessel. |
| Soil Depth (SD) |
Depth of soil from top of the footing. |
| Height of Pier Top from Base (B) |
Height from the top of the pier to the base of the foundation. |
| Spacing of Exchanger (S) |
(Stacked Exchanger only) Spacing of the central line of the exchanger in case of stacked exchanger. |
