Severe pipeline vibration occurs after reducing the pressure of the feed water to the converted waste boiler
Thread Content
The feed water pressure to the waste boiler at the site is 2.0 MPa; it is reduced to 1.2 MPa and 0.5 MPa respectively. After the pressure reduction, severe pipe vibration occurs, and the vibration is more intense in the pipes at 0.5 MPa compared to those at 1.2 MPa. How can this problem be solved?
There must be gas in the pipeline; is it gas that vaporizes after pressure reduction, causing vibration in the pipeline?
It seems that water can’t be pumped up; the outlet pressure is low
