Phenomena, consequences, causes, and handling of regulator pipe side leaks during transformation

Phenomenon: When draining the air side of the thermostat, water will be discharged; the amount is small at first, but a large volume of water will be released when the leakage is severe. Consequence: Introducing water into the low-temperature converter results in a low temperature of the gas entering the furnace, and in severe cases it may cause a drop in the furnace temperature. Reason: Corrosion caused by acidic substances in the gas combining with misty water. Treatment: When the initial leakage is minor, it is not necessary to stop the operation to seal the leak; instead, simply increase the waste discharge and maintain the temperature at the furnace inlet. In the event of a large-scale leak and the inlet temperature of the low-temperature transformer cannot be maintained, it is necessary to shut down the unit; the leaking tubes can be sealed or replaced with new stainless steel tubes.
