The calorific value of pure methanol seems to be much lower than that of diesel. Theoretically, it should work, but it’s important to ensure that pure methanol burns completely; otherwise, any unburned residues can be harmful if they leak out, and they can also pollute the environment
Incomplete combustion can be addressed by redesigning the nozzle; there should be no leaks then. Heat value – I heard that certain additives need to be added to increase it. What are they?
I’ve seen this problem for the first time; what I encountered before was liquefied gas, methanol off-gas, and diesel. Our plant is designed to work with natural gas.
Sure, my company uses methanol to heat the furnace; this method works well. The key is to adjust the misting of methanol, as otherwise it may be difficult to ignite or extinguish.
Hello, our company is currently considering a methanol drying furnace solution. It is mainly due to environmental concerns; in the past, diesel caused severe pollution to the gasification system. Could you analyze what specific problems exist with the methanol drying ovens in your company? For example, what is the highest temperature that can be achieved, and how is the nozzle designed, etc.
Sure, the misting effect is crucial! However, the calorific value is a bit low, so it’s necessary to add fuel with a higher calorific value!
Heat value and atomization are two crucial factors. If the heat value of that substance isn’t high enough, it’s necessary to mix in some fuel with a higher heat value; moreover, the nozzle needs to be adjusted properly to achieve the right ratio
I’ve seen liquefied gas and diesel heaters; I haven’t seen any others! I think methanol heaters are very bad – methanol pollutes the environment and is harmful to humans! It is recommended not to use methanol for oven drying!
Both refined methanol and crude methanol can be used; our company uses them very effectively! Calorific value is not a problem either; it’s something that’s quite mature by now
