What are the pressure vessels that generate steam using water as a medium?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: According to Section 2.8 of the TSG08-2017 Regulations on the Use and Management of Special Equipment, the units that operate water (medium) boilers and pressure vessels that generate steam using water as a medium must carry out proper treatment and monitoring of the water (medium) used in these boilers and pressure vessels, to ensure that its quality meets the relevant requirements. What devices does this “pressure vessel that generates steam using water as a medium” refer to, and are they common?
The most common ones are things like some floating-head heat exchangers
1. Waste heat boiler 2. Steam generator
No, the technical specifications only mention shell-and-tube waste heat boilers and steam generators – these are the types that produce steam directly and can be used in place of boilers. Moreover, Document No. 1336 includes electrically heated steam generators under the category of boilers. In fact, pressure vessel management applies only to waste heat boilers designed and manufactured as pressure vessels.
