How is the control room in the north heated?
Thread Content
Since the facility previously used heating and air conditioning to raise the temperature in the rooms, and heating systems are not allowed during safety inspections, the facility has adopted such measures in order to save energy and reduce consumption. It doesn’t support long-term use of air conditioners and electric heaters; does anyone have any good solutions for this? ) s& x. b; A% n6 A; g
Could steam (waste steam) heating be considered? ? ?
Air conditioning is the best. The constant humidity and temperature chamber we use. Of course, there are so many important devices in the hollow chamber and between the cabinets.
The steam is good. It’s possible to use what’s available in the factory – it saves money and makes it easier to keep track of costs
As long as it’s not in the three northeastern provinces, a regular air conditioner will do; there’s no need to use one for a very long time either! Near our capital, we hardly need to use air conditioning in winter, as the DCS system itself is able to maintain the desired ambient temperature through its cooling capabilities! ! ! The Great North should improve the insulation of its control rooms, but air conditioners are still essential! ! ! You can afford a DCS, but not an air conditioner? Haha!
In Heilongjiang, air conditioners are generally used; heating is not allowed
We are in Beijing; air conditioners are used, but heating is not allowed
We also use air conditioning; heating is not allowed
It seems that air conditioning is used for heating in the Tianjin area
Control rooms usually use central air conditioning! All the projects I’ve worked on have used air conditioning – in Beijing, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia!
Control rooms are equipped with central air conditioning; using heating systems would be dangerous in case of leaks!
In Xinjiang, air conditioners and heaters are not allowed to be used
Use the air conditioner; saving energy should be done only when conditions permit!
Nowadays, air conditioners are generally one of the main methods for controlling room temperature; those that use gas heating have difficulty in maintaining a stable temperature.
Hydraulic and steam heating cannot be used; the DCS room should be heated by air conditioning. :victory:
Our factory has learned a harsh lesson: a steam pipe leaked, and steam spilled into the cabinet room; the DCS circuit boards were covered in condensation water, which caused the system to stop working. We had to use hair dryers to dry them out for several days! Some boards can no longer be used!
It’s definitely an air conditioner, with constant temperature and humidity control. For the large control room, a central air conditioning system is suitable; for smaller control rooms, cabinet-type air conditioners can be considered. However, the humidity level needs to be checked regularly, and humidification or dehumidification may be necessary. The losses caused by a DCS system shutdown are estimated to be more than enough to cover the air conditioning costs for ten years or even longer. Energy conservation and consumption reduction should not come at the expense of equipment safety.
““The DCS system can basically ensure that the ambient temperature remains within acceptable levels through its own cooling mechanisms.” That’s hilarious; it even needs a heater now, haha
An air conditioner is enough; it’s not a polar climate, so an air conditioner is necessary. On the other hand, this energy consumption isn’t very high; it’s much lower compared to some complete sets of equipment used on site. Even when striving for cost efficiency, it’s still necessary to ensure safe operation, right?
