Issues with access holes in the water wall
Thread Content
The manager wants to add two manholes to the water-cooling walls in the high-temperature area. I told him that this is not feasible, but I couldn’t provide any convincing arguments. I’m asking everyone for advice on how to talk to him about the risks involved, what those risks are, and if there are any specific examples
It is inappropriate to provide two manholes on the water-cooled wall in the high-temperature area. Firstly, the presence of two manholes reduces the cooling surface area significantly, affecting the thermal balance intended in the original design； On the other hand, creating two manholes will weaken the strength of the wall, potentially causing deformation ； Furthermore, it may also increase safety hazards. It’s still better to advise against it.
If the leader requests that a hole be made, you can ask the design department to carry out the calculations; however, it’s likely they won’t agree to this. This way, you avoid dealing directly with the leader and risking offending them, which could lead to trouble for you
