In a heat transfer oil boiler, the flow velocity of the liquid inside the pipes is relatively high, exceeding 4 meters per second – what impact does this have on the boiler?
The effect on the boiler is an increase in the heat transfer coefficient; there are no other effects.
High flow rate, large volume flow, increased power
It has no significant impact; a higher flow rate leads to a faster increase in temperature. Determine the cause – if the pump is too powerful, then there’s no problem. If the flow rate is high due to pressure buildup, then it’s necessary to find out where the pressure is being accumulated
The heat transfer coefficient increases, allowing heating equipment to warm up more quickly
