Reasons for large fluctuations in the liquid level of the VCM conversion hot water tank

2022-05-03View Original

Thread Content

Currently, the liquid level in the hot water tank of the VCM converter is fluctuating frequently, with large amplitude fluctuations ranging from about 50% to 100%. What are the possible reasons for this? Thank you

1. Check the level gauge, 2. Check the steam condenser, 3. Check for leaks in the pump seals, 4. Check the drain system, 5. Check the condensate discharge.

The poster is referring to a remote-level gauge, right? What is the fluctuation range of the on-site level gauge?

Thank you; the reason has been mostly identified. It is mainly due to the high temperature of the hot water returning from the converter to the hot water tank, which causes severe vaporization of the hot water and results in significant fluctuations in the liquid level inside the hot water tank.

It is caused by steam pressure buildup. Take a look at the structure inside your hot water tank and the location where the level gauge is installed.

The possible reasons for the frequent fluctuations in the liquid level of the hot water tank in the VCM converter are as follows: 1. A malfunction in the hot water temperature sensor results in inaccurate measurement values. 2. Inaccurate transmission of control commands, poor circuit connections. 3. There is solid debris in the hot water tank, which affects liquid level measurement. 4. Unstable system pressure affects the measurement results. 5. Improper setting of control parameters, resulting in significant changes in the volume of the hot water tank
