Why is water always added to the positive water seal behind the acetylene generator?
Thread Content
Acetylene gas, upon leaving the generator, contains moisture; some of this moisture should remain in the positive water seal after passing through it. But why does the level in the positive water seal decrease?
The estimated gas production is high, with a considerable amount of condensate
Is there a slight leak in the positive water seal drainage valve? If not, it may be due to gas entrainment carrying away the moisture.
One possibility is internal leakage in the valves, and another is that the acetylene gas has been carried away. The acetylene gas coming out of the generator passes through the sludge washer; the temperature of the sludge in that washer is then checked
It’s impossible; please, the original poster, describe the phenomenon in detail.
After coming out of the acetylene gas generator, the gas passes through a sludge washer and then a positive water seal; the liquid level in this positive water seal keeps dropping, so it is necessary to keep adding water to it
My concern is that the level of the positive water seal extends too shallowly
There are several possibilities: valve leakage, gas phase entrainment; it’s also possible that the high temperature of the acetylene gas caused some water to evaporate. It’s necessary to check whether the temperature of the acetylene gas is very high.
