Processing of insulation ring around the tower
Thread Content
The insulation rings around the tower are all arc-shaped; how are these insulation rings manufactured? Plate cutting? Or flat steel splicing?
The insulation of the pilot-scale distillation tower in our laboratory is made from stainless steel coils, which are then secured in place with rivets.
The insulation rings around the tower are all arc-shaped, and these rings are manufactured by underwater plasma cutting of whole plates. Create an electronic version of the drawing using CAD at a 1:1 scale, upload it to the computer of the plasma cutter, and carry out the operation.
You didn’t understand what the original poster meant. .
For towers with a relatively small diameter, find a large steel plate and draw two concentric circles: the smaller circle corresponds to the outer diameter of the tower, while the larger circle is the size of the smaller circle plus the width of the insulation layer. After it’s ready, divide it evenly, either into 4 or 8 parts. Then they are welded to the outer wall of the tower section by section. The same applies to towers with large diameters; it’s just that they aren’t built all at once, but rather section by section in an arc shape, to avoid the need for cutting. Its function is to hold the insulation material in place so that it doesn’t all fall to the bottom.
