Layout issue of the guide pipe in the feed buffer tank
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts here: why is a guide pipe installed at the inlet of the buffer tank in the diagram below, and why does it extend all the way to the bottom of the tank? Couldn’t we simply use a baffle plate instead? What are the advantages of this design?
The advantage of installing a guide pipe at the inlet of the buffer tank is that it allows the feed to be directed to the bottom of the tank, preventing sediment from accumulating in the pipes. If an oil baffle is installed directly, it may cause sediment to remain above the guide plate, affecting the performance of the buffer tank. By using a guide tube, the feed can be directed to the bottom of the tank, which helps reduce the accumulation of sediment and makes the buffer tank more stable and reliable during use. .
Usually, the liquid inlet pipe is inserted below the liquid surface. 1. The space above is empty; the sound of liquid flowing in is too loud. 2. It impacts the tank walls, and high flow rates can also generate static electricity. III. Impact the bottom of the tank to reduce material stratification at the bottom, which affects the stability of product quality
Avoid static electricity generated by friction due to high flow rates
To prevent static electricity, it is generally extended to the bottom of the container
Hello, may I ask which standard this is from?
Article 7.2.14 of GB50160 for petrochemical industries
