In case Purchaser furnishes thermal design, Clause-7.0 under Section-7 of this specification on thermal design is not to be considered. In case thermal and mechanical designs are done and engineering drawings furnished by Purchaser, then details given in these engineering drawings, take precedence over this specification This specification shall not be considered limiting and it shall be Vendor's responsibili comply with all requirements of Material Requisition/Purchase Requisition/Bid Documents (referred to as enquiry documents), to which this specification is attached. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS ‘The Standard applicable for ACHEs shall be API Standard 661, Sixth Edition February 2006 except to the extent modified hereunder. The section, paragraph and figure numbers refer to those used in API 661. "New” applies to entirely new paragraph presently not included and to be inserted in the numbering order of API-661. "Addition" applies to an addition to the original Para. "Modified" applies to modification of applicable portion of the API-661 Para. GENERAL. The pressure design code shall be ASME Section VIII Division 1, unless specified (Modified) otherwise. Hereinafter referred to as Code, 44 For ACHE to be installed in India, Vendor shall comply with all applicable local (Addition) regulations like approval from CMRI, PESO, and CCE etc. for all electrical and 5.10 (New) 6. 70 (New) 701 7.02 instrument items. PROPOSALS ‘The proposal shall include power consumed by the motor and required motor HP. DOCUMENTATION ‘Vendor shall furnish documents as per Vendor Data Requirements specified in the requisition. DESIGN ‘Thermal Design The Vendor shall do thermal rating when specified. Thermal design proposed by the Vendor will have to be in order as per either HTRI or HTFS software. This includes adequacy of heat transfer area and tube and airside pressure drops. If any modifications are required to be carried out by the Vendor in order to make the thermal design acceptable as per either HTRI or HTFS software, the same will be done without any cost and delivery implications. If an ACHE has to satisfy more than one process condition, separate "Equipment Data Sheet" shall be furnished for each condition.
