SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the electrolysis of brine, specifically focusing on the production of chlorine (Cl2) and hydrogen (H2) gases, and their moisture-holding capacity at 85°C and 1.2 bar absolute pressure. The user seeks psychrometric data to estimate the maximum moisture content for these gases, as they plan to implement shell/tube heat exchangers with chilled water for dehumidification. The absence of relevant psychrometric data is a significant barrier to making preliminary calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of psychrometric charts and their applications
  • Knowledge of electrolysis processes and products
  • Familiarity with shell/tube heat exchanger design
  • Basic principles of gas behavior under varying temperature and pressure
NEXT STEPS
  • Research psychrometric data specific to chlorine and hydrogen gases
  • Explore the design and operation of shell/tube heat exchangers
  • Investigate methods for calculating moisture content in gases at specified conditions
  • Learn about the implications of temperature and pressure on gas properties
USEFUL FOR

Chemical engineers, process engineers, and professionals involved in gas handling and dehumidification processes will benefit from this discussion.

In our electrolysis of brine, Cl2 & H2 are produced as gaseous products along with aqueous NaOH. In this scenario I require what amount of maximum moisture can Cl2 or H2 hold up at specific temperature & pressure (precisely 85celsius & 1.2bar absolute). Two coolers (shell/tube exchanger with chilled water on shell side) are planned to dehumidify these two gases.

I have searched hard but without proper psychrometric data am unable to even estimate preliminary values. Link to data or other alternatives are highly welcome.
