Hello everyone; I believe you have seen many production equipment units that come in a pair of one in use and one as a spare, such as pumps, filters, safety valves, etc. Could you list other devices that use a primary unit along with a backup unit in production, such as the process name, device name, and specific functions? We hope everyone will participate actively – there are bonus rewards! :lol
Chemical production is usually carried out on a continuous basis; stopping production and resuming it inevitably leads to increased material and energy consumption. If critical components are damaged, production may be halted for an extended period of time. Therefore, in the chemical production process, operating equipment is usually configured with one in use and one as a backup.

Air compression using nitrogen; one air compressor in use and one as a backup. The maximum gas demand, normal usage levels, as well as the equipment’s maintenance schedule are taken into consideration
For example, in batch chemical production, reaction kettles and reaction towers usually have several installed； Some are in production, some are under maintenance ； To avoid affecting production and the operation of subsequent equipment, adopt a configuration of \"one in use and one as backup\" or \"several in use and one as backup\", etc ；
Our company’s cooling towers also operate in a 3-in-use-1-backup configuration.

For the lubricating oil filters in large-scale units, when the differential pressure becomes too high, they are switched over for cleaning
Circulation water pumps are usually operated in groups of several with one as a backup, and the same applies to vacuum pumps.
In the process flow, key equipment and equipment prone to failure are usually equipped with one in use and one as a backup.
The boilers operate in a one-in-use and one-on-backup configuration, or several in use with one on backup, with regular shutdowns for maintenance.
