Unusual noises from the device
Thread Content
Recently, since the temperature in the pressure relief tower has risen, there has been continuous bubbling noise inside it; another tank also makes such bubbling sounds. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Sent something to mpcchuang (ID 231652) – let’s see if it’s useful Rattling sounds occur during steam-based vacuum extraction. Apart from nozzle wear, improper alignment of the center points during installation can also cause such rattling. Additionally, insufficient pressure at normal conditions, low temperature of the steam used for vacuum extraction with water content, high temperature of the cooler, and poor drainage of gas from the back side can all be factors contributing to this issue. In large-scale installations where two steam vacuum pumps are used in parallel, in addition to the problems mentioned above, issues such as air leakage between the two pumps, unreasonable design of the inlet pipelines for the vacuum pumps, and uneven consumption of steam by the two pumps can also occur; there are many other possible causes as well
Does your pressure relief tower also have steam injection at the bottom? Noise can occur when the steam at the bottom contains water or has a low temperature
It was making noise in front of the vacuum distillation tower, but it’s not making any sound now. It’s just a flash tower for removing water and light hydrocarbons; there is no gas vapor. When the feed temperature rises to around 180 degrees, abnormal noises occur – I don’t know why
Oh, I see! It could be this reason! Our steam temperature has been fluctuating. Currently, a simple flash tower is producing significant noise; the noise starts when the feed temperature rises to 170 degrees. I don’t know why
The fluid contains a gas phase, with perturbing sounds. How many stages of packing does your pressure relief tower have? Is the sound coming from that area?
