Can a 1.0Mpa steam generator maintain a pressure of over 1.2Mpa?
Thread Content
Seeking expert advice: As the title suggests, I have a steam generator whose pressure gauge shows a maximum reading of 1.0 Mpa. Now I need to increase the pressure to above 1.0 Mpa. What are some ways to do this? Thank you!
It can be achieved by heating intensely; intense heating may cause an explosion. :lol
Find the nameplate of that steam generator and check the values such as the design pressure and operating pressure indicated there; if they are within the specified range, then there is no problem. As for the pressure gauge, just replace it with one that has a larger range.
Once beyond the range, it’s hard to say exactly what value can be maintained; it’s similar to the situation where the monthly salary is less than 100,000. Additionally, it depends on what the setting pressure of the safety valve is, on what kind of pressure gauge is used, and also on the design parameters of the steam generator – specifically, what the maximum operating pressure is
It is not recommended to do this, as it can lead to problems. If it must be used, then it will need to be recalculated – to determine whether the current equipment can meet your pressure requirements
