What is the load during device design?
Thread Content
Dear experts, when designing a system, what value should be assigned to load flexibility, and how is it determined?
Generally, it is 60%-110% of the normal design value
60%-110% of the normal design value. 60-120% can also be selected as needed.
For devices with two or three units connected in parallel upstream, when two gasifiers are connected in parallel, the plant load is 50~110%.
It is necessary to analyze each case on its own; there is a high degree of flexibility in operation, but it is not very effective for energy savings. Additionally, considerations must be given to the process characteristics and product features.
If the owner has no special requirements, the equipment is primarily tested for its ability to operate under 60%-110% load, meaning it should be able to function properly at these load levels. If the owner has special requirements, these must definitely be taken into account when purchasing equipment and instruments.
**Are there any relevant standards or regulations that outline how to make the selection?
The owners will decide; I’ve done 150%
