Seeking advice on a reboiler heated by an open flame
Thread Content
Are there still reboilers that use an open flame for heating? If so, in which fields is it commonly used?
I came across the term \"open-flame reboiler\" in a document, but I have never heard of such a type of reboiler before. I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance; thank you
For open-flame heating, it should be considered in the same way as for boilers.
Is it widely used in the chemical industry?
I’ve never seen a reboiler that uses an open flame for heating; its function must be similar to that of a heating furnace.
It’s hardly used these days, as an open flame is unsafe.
Yes, where there’s an open flame, a fire safety distance must be maintained. This has an impact on both land use and equipment layout within the factory premises; it seems rather uneconomical. May I also ask if this requirement is applied in other fields?
