Can air be added to industrial gas? Please explain the reason
Dizzy~~~ Aren’t you afraid of it exploding? ? Each type of gas has its own explosion limit; adding air poses a risk of explosion, and that’s not something that is done. . . Even if, hypothetically, it were possible to do so, why would a company do it? 1 cubic meter of natural gas is mixed with half a cubic meter of air, and you’re charged the price of 1.5 cubic meters of natural gas. If you were the owner, would you accept such unfair treatment? ?
Sincerity really isn’t afraid of causing trouble! I’ve never heard of adding air to gas or fuel before Flammable volatile materials such as fuel are also protected by filling them with an inert gas (nitrogen).
The client claimed that this was indeed the way it was done, but no relevant information could be found upon searching online. Isn’t air usually mixed in with household gas in order to adjust its calorific value? How then can the issue of explosion be taken into consideration in such cases?
I’m worried about explosions, that’s why I’m asking if anyone has done this. The client wants to reduce costs and insists on adding air
I’m not in the industry, so I don’t know much about it. I said I didn’t dare to do it. It depends on the explosive range of the gas you are transporting, right? Although air gets mixed in, during the transportation phase no more air is added; the closer one is to the explosion limit, the more money can be made, right?
@ARPCD liquefied petroleum gas can be mixed with air; this is stated in the guidelines for urban gas
The owner sells industrial gases; it’s not just liquefied petroleum gas – he wants to mix in air as well
If it is to adjust the calorific value range of the gas, a small amount of nitrogen can be added, but air is generally not allowed.
Air can be mixed in, as long as the volume fraction of the combustible gas after mixing exceeds twice its explosion limit
Let me talk about a process I’m familiar with: it involves exhaust gas that is primarily air, with a small amount of liquefied gas present. If this exhaust gas is fed directly into the furnace, it can cause an explosion. I’ve seen that the Beijing Institute uses an American-made process package, which involves adding gas to the exhaust gas so that its concentration remains above 16%, before it is fed into the heating furnace for combustion. It is about breaking through the upper limit of gas explosions. But this device must introduce gas first and then air when in operation.
