Does a decrease in boiler pressure mean an increase in water evaporation?
Thread Content
The liquid level in the waste heat boiler of the unit has dropped significantly. I want to reduce the pressure in the boiler; will the evaporation rate of water increase as the boiler pressure decreases? Please share your thoughts, thank you, extra points
Is your stove leaking? Is the difference between the steam flow rate and the feedwater flow rate significant?
From the perspective of phase equilibrium, in the saturated steam state of a drum, reducing the pressure while keeping the temperature constant will increase the evaporation rate; however, a new equilibrium will be established, and it is not advisable to reduce the pressure arbitrarily. It has a significant impact on the drum liquid level fluctuations!
The temperature will also drop while the pressure is reduced, right?
As pressure decreases, temperature also drops, and evaporation increases
As pressure decreases, temperature also drops, and evaporation increases
I agree with what was said on the 3rd floor: under certain conditions of heat exchange, reducing the boiler pressure will lead to an increase in the boiler’s evaporation rate in a short period of time. As the density of the steam and water return streams decreases, the liquid level in the drum rises quickly. If the water supply isn’t increased promptly, it will be more difficult to replenish water later on. Eventually, the boiler will reach a new equilibrium at lower pressure.
With the heat input to the boiler remaining constant, the pressure decreases and the output increases. But the increase in this amount is not significant; the enthalpy value can be checked.
The pressure inside the boiler decreases, and the boiling point of water drops as pressure falls. A large amount of water evaporates in a short period of time, absorbing a significant amount of heat and thereby lowering the temperature inside the boiler until a new equilibrium is established.
The points mentioned for floors 3+7 are great~~~ OP, if there’s a problem with the feed water pump, the pressure will decrease slightly as the level of liquid in the drum drops~~~
