How to control the regenerator liquid level
Thread Content
For the regenerator placed behind the converter drum in a steel plant, what should be the appropriate range for the liquid level? The regenerator is horizontal in design and has a height of approximately 2 meters.
For this level control, it’s best to consult the relevant equipment manual; after all, when taking action one should follow established procedures. ”. In principle, it involves sending the vaporized steam to a heat storage tank (by inserting the steam pipe into water) to heat the water, and the steam generated from this hot water is then used as a product. Usually, if the water level is controlled too high, water entering the steam outlet pipeline can cause overpressure; if the water level control is set too low, it fails to provide storage capacity, and the steam cannot be stabilized by heating water, which directly leads to fluctuations or overpressure in the pressure of the steam supplied externally. According to the general design of the equipment’s level gauge, it is controlled at 3/5 of the upper limit; it’s not clear whether 1/2 of the lower limit would work. This is merely a reference value for the principle; the specific requirements should follow those specified in the device’s user manual. For reference.
