Problems with the gear pump circulation system

This flow rate depends on the size of the furnace; it is generally between 28 and 40. If it is too high, it will cause severe wear on the pipes, and a flow control orifice plate can be installed at the outlet.

The main impact is not just worn pipes! Are there any other factors?

Flow control for the lock-hopper circulation pump is not achieved immediately; it depends on the slag discharge load of the gasification furnace. Generally, the process engineering team in the design institute determines the process flow rate, while the equipment engineering team handles the equipment-related aspects, and no flow adjustment is made during normal operation. Excessive flow increases the energy consumption of the pump and accelerates wear on the pipes and the pump, but it is beneficial for slag removal. Too low a flow rate is not conducive to slag discharge ； Through comprehensive analysis of the temperatures at the two thermocouples in the lock hopper, it is possible to determine the amount of slag discharged from the gasification furnace as well as the distribution of its particle size. Generally, the water temperature in the lock hopper increases gradually as heat is exchanged between the slag from the gasification furnace and the water inside the hopper; however, the increase in temperature is not significant.

50 cubic meters. . It can be done at home, with a temperature of 50 to 60. . .

Our company has a capacity of around 40 cubic meters; I’m not sure about the specifics of other companies

How can the amount of slag discharged from the gasification grate and the distribution of its particle size be determined through a comprehensive analysis of the temperatures measured by 2 thermocouples in the lock hopper? How to make such judgments?
