What is the difference in heat exchange effect between the jackets of enamel kettles and ordinary carbon steel kettles?
Thread Content
The workshop now has two reaction kettles of the same volume. They use jackets to heat up. I feel that the enamel kettle heats up slower than the carbon steel kettle. I would like to know how much the thermal efficiency of the two kettles can differ? Does anyone in Sichuan have experience in this area or have information to refer to?
The temperature of the enamel kettle is definitely slower than that of the carbon steel kettle, and it is meaningless to have a thermal efficiency difference between the two kettles. The two kettles are suitable for completely different working conditions, and the price difference is insignificant. No one will compare their heat transfer performance.
The heat transfer is different, but they are the same but not the same. This should be a matter of material and nothing else. I don’t know what the original poster means.
Thank you for your answers. Because in our actual production, these two kettles are produced under the same process conditions. I also think that the enamel kettle heats up slower than the carbon steel kettle, but is there any way to measure it? How much difference can there be in thermal efficiency? Want to ask a question?
Check the design manual. The thermal conductivity of enamel is different from that of carbon steel. Just calculate it. In addition, the reactor must be well insulated.
Our enamel reactor cannot rise to 5 degrees Celsius for several hours. I don’t know what’s going on. Does anyone know about this?
