If the oil in a horizontal heat transfer oil boiler cannot be completely drained, it poses a serious risk in the event of a fire
Thread Content
Currently, it’s impossible to completely drain the oil from manufacturers’ heat transfer oil boilers; even with the use of air pumps, the oil cannot be fully removed. The amount of oil that remains varies from one boiler to another. If the boiler suffers from coking, pipe ruptures, or fires, it can cause huge losses for the users. I wonder if there are any such standards that can be used as a reference?
Although heat transfer oil is not easy to catch fire, it will burn when exposed to an open flame.
The control of normal parameters and the setting of abnormal interlocks are very important. Furthermore, the fittings of such equipment must be inspected regularly; otherwise, similar situations can lead to explosions
Yes, watching it burn right in front of your eyes – can this be considered a design flaw?
Is this a design flaw? Lack of emergency oil release system
The furnace should be equipped with inert gas fire suppression; in an emergency, the valves are opened to allow inert gas to fill the furnace, thereby achieving fire suppression, rather than by releasing oil.
