    First you need to know the refrigerant capacity and the operating conditions. The capacity depends on the temperatures of the fluids, mass flows,...give me thermodynamic data.

    Re: expansion valve for evaporator

    actually i am electrical engineer but new to refrigeration industry, what is mean by thermodynamic data. Could u pls explain?

    i need to cool down the acid in aluminium industry,

    acid tank 4ft wide, 25ft lenght, 9ft deep
    acid temperature 30dec
    i need to cool down to 20dec

    if for the 6m, 1 inch, 1.5 thickness stainless steel 316L pipe

    1.how long that i need for the evaporator design

    First at all I need the sensible specific heat (cp) kJ/kg.K on SI units is needed or in another units, then I make the conversion. Also I need to know the time you need yo cool from 30 to 20ºC.

    I would suggest that you employ a refrigeration engineer, to design and build the system.
