How to determine the steam volume for furnace drying
Thread Content
During furnace drying, steam is introduced into the furnace tubes. How is the flow rate of this steam determined? What flow rate of steam is necessary to complete the drying process while also protecting the furnace tubes and saving fuel gas? Is there any simple algorithm?
The amount of steam is controlled to ensure that the furnace chamber and furnace tubes do not overheat; I hope this is useful to you
Thank you. I was asking if specific figures could be provided, as I would like to do some calculations.
I’m looking for it again right now. But if you’re asking how to determine it, and if you already know the structure of the furnace chamber and the wall thickness of the pipes, etc., you can calculate it yourself: 1. It’s necessary to know the maximum allowable temperature of the furnace tubes during the heating process ； 2. It is necessary to know the minimum control heat capacity of the burner, assuming that all of this heat is absorbed by the steam inside the furnace tubes ； 3. Assuming a steam flow rate, calculate the average heat transfer coefficient and determine the wall temperature........
