What is the maximum temperature in degrees Celsius that the conversion furnace tube used for hydrogen production can reach?
Here, we had an issue with the catalyst, which caused the furnace tubes to become completely burned through. At that time, it was not allowed to shut down the operation; everyone on shift would monitor the temperature of the furnace tubes, and it seemed that the temperature of the hottest tube reached almost 1050 degrees Celsius. We continued operating in this condition for two months until the plant was shut down for maintenance.
It depends on the material of your furnace tube; check the maximum allowable temperature for that material!
HP40—Nb is used, with a designed tube temperature of 938°C; excessive temperatures can lead to high-temperature creep
What instrument is used to measure the temperature of this pipe wall?
An infrared thermometer measures the temperature at the highest point of a furnace tube, not the temperature of the entire tube.
We have a unit with a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters; the temperature of the furnace tubes is currently between 1,020 and 1,090°C, and production is running normally
