Any experience with alternating steam and circulating water in the jacket/internal coil of a reactor? How can the water inside be removed effectively?
Using them alternately can easily lead to water hammer; it is recommended to set them up separately. However, switching between them is acceptable. Moreover, using steam and circulating water alternately will also contaminate the condensate system
That means steam is used for heating during the temperature-raising phase, while circulating water is used to remove the heat generated by the reaction during the reaction phase; it’s only necessary to drain the water completely!
We used to blow it with an air compressor before the conversion
