Problems with the pipe warming silencer of air separation turbines
Thread Content
Has anyone here had experience with steam pipe insulation silencers? We have a set in which steam turbines are used to drive air compressors; the main steam pipes of these turbines require pipe warming, and there is a steam pipe warming silencer at the end of these pipes. May I ask, once the main steam pipeline of the turbine is determined, how is the diameter of the steam warming pipe determined? The high-pressure superheated steam in the main steam pipeline is 9.8 MPa; can the inlet pressure of the steam pipe warming silencer be specified at 9.8 MPa when placing the order?
If there is any information available on this topic, that would be helpful too; I hope someone can provide an answer.
I remember a site project manager saying that this can be done on-site. Of course, if you have enough funds, it’s better to buy a better one! When placing your order, simply provide your steam parameters; let the designer or manufacturer do the calculations!
It’s possible; the pressure is very low when warming the pipes.
If 9.8 MPa is specified, will the pressure be too high? I found a protocol for a steam silencer online; it states that the inlet pressure is only 0.5 MPa, but the operating temperature ranges from 510 to 530 degrees.
A muffler with a pressure rating of 9.8MPA is a bit high; usually, the maximum rating is 6.3, but it can still be manufactured. Provide various parameters so that the supplier can proceed with production; otherwise, if problems arise, they will blame you for providing incomplete parameters. Since you have already provided them, you can sue the other party if further issues occur, accusing them of producing products that do not meet your requirements.
In that case, a pressure relief valve can be installed in front of the silencer.
How to calculate the air volume of a steam pipe heating silencer?
Is your steam used for power generation? If not, it is necessary to specify an inlet pressure of 9.8 MPa when ordering the steam pipe silencer.
Steam is used to drive the turbine, which in turn drives the compressor. Is an inlet pressure of 9.8 MPa too high? Can a silencer be made? How is the air volume for heating pipes calculated?
