The operating temperature is higher than the design temperature
Thread Content
The design pressure of the inlet buffer tank for the circulating exhaust fan is 0.1 MPa, the design temperature is 60°C, and the maximum operating pressure is 0.03 MPa. The operating pressure of the medium is currently 0.02 MPa, and the operating temperature is 80°C. What impact will this have on the buffer tanks? Can it be put into use?
What you need to check is the condition of the craftsmanship, rather than simply asking whether it can be used
When the temperature is higher than the design temperature, excessive expansion must be taken into account. Pressure might not be that important after all. But per the specifications, it is best not to exceed it.
For buffer tanks, the main considerations are the material’s temperature resistance and the degree of corrosion caused by the medium at that temperature. 80 degrees is not a high temperature, so there should be no issues with the material’s temperature resistance; it’s also necessary to check how corrosive the medium is to that material at that temperature. There shouldn’t be any problem
According to the design principles, temperature determines the material, and pressure determines the wall thickness. Consider the heat exposure requirements of the equipment’s materials, while also taking into account the maximum heat exposure requirements for seals and other accessories
No problem; it mainly depends on the material you use – there’s no such high level of precision.
The pressure is not an issue; the design temperature is on the low side, but there isn’t much difference between 80 and 60 degrees. It’s best to consult experts in equipment design to see whether materials rated for 0.02 MPa at 80 degrees can also handle 60 degrees – it should be fine
