Installation location of the dilution valve
Thread Content
The original dilution valve is installed at the dry air inlet. Now that the hot season has arrived, could a smaller dilution valve be installed at the outlet of the gas cooling tower? By adjusting this newly installed valve along with the original one, it is possible to introduce some air at the electrostatic fog inlet, thereby reducing the temperature of the gas inside the electrostatic fog system. This approach allows for the removal of more moisture compared to the original process, ensuring that the dry adsorption balance remains stable during the hot season
Personally, I don’t think it’s very useful. First, the temperature is high in summer, especially during the day when it can reach 38 degrees, which is even higher than the temperature of the gas coming from the electrostatic demister; as a result, it fails to cool the gas from the electrostatic demister and does not improve its demisting efficiency. Second, increasing the volume of gas flowing through the electrostatic demister raises the gas flow rate, thereby reducing the demisting efficiency.
