Can liquid chlorine cylinders be heated using an electric heating blanket? Previously, hot water was used for heating, which gave it an unsatisfactory appearance; now we are considering using a heating blanket for heating instead Is it feasible, and what issues need to be considered? How to prevent it.
We basically use hot water for heating； The reasons are as follows: 1) The temperature of the hot water will not be too high; both the chlorine gas pipelines and the buffer tanks can withstand the maximum temperature at which hot water can keep the chlorine gas’s saturated vapor pressure under control ； 2) The temperature of the hot water is very stable, which allows for good control over the amount of chlorine vaporized. With an electric heating blanket, there are three issues: 1) Are there any Class A or B solvents nearby? Is it necessary to consider the explosion-proof requirements of the electric heating blanket? 2) Could the local temperature of the electric blanket become too high, and is it necessary to increase the pressure rating of the pipes and equipment? 3) Is the temperature of the electric blanket maintained evenly? Personal opinion, for reference only!
A hot water bath is relatively safe.
Based on the heat transfer conditions and taking into account the saturated vapor pressure of liquid chlorine at different temperatures, no electric heating was used; instead, hot water was employed.
For safety reasons, shouldn’t it be sent to the carburetor to be heated? ?
Previously, hot water was also used for heating; in winter, there is a high level of moisture indoors, which has an impact on various aspects. I wonder if anyone has done this before.
It’s definitely feasible. Firstly, an electric blanket with adjustable temperature control is needed, in addition to on-site or portable chlorine leak detection equipment. In fact, dry heating is more convenient and easier to operate than using hot water, but safety measures must be taken.
It can be heated electrically. Yantai Xintai Weighing Equipment Co., Ltd. has been awarded two **patents: a patent for the electric heating device and a patent for the electric heating conveying control system; more details can be found on their website
The heating of liquid chlorine cylinders should not use hot water above 40°C, right?
