Texaco gasifier wall thickness issue!
Thread Content
Why are the wall thicknesses of the cylinder and the vault different in a Texaco gasifier?
Hahahahahahaha, another beginner! The dome is cast as a single unit, with three layers of bricks; the cylinder consists of four layers of bricks, built layer by layer. Due to the size of the reaction area, there is a reflux zone at the top, which is why it’s larger. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Big brother! I’m talking about the thickness of the iron wall, not the thickness of the bricks!
For pressure vessels, the thickness is calculated based on the stress conditions applied. The membrane stress acting on a spherical head is half of the circumferential stress in the connecting cylinder; therefore, the calculated thickness is also approximately half of that of the connecting cylinder.
What is the wall thickness of 2.8-meter and 3.2-meter gasification furnaces?
