Such discussions on these issues are very practical and lively. After reading the discussions, I have one question: Can a minor leak cause such significant fluctuations in the system, especially when it’s a minor leak that leads to backflow?
2. How high is the pressure of the high-pressure coal slurry? Should the design of the backflow preventers in these pipelines be a dual-valve system, so that if one valve fails, another is still available? Moreover, many of such backflow preventers come equipped with plugs
I think in the case of a minor leak, it’s possible to keep the furnace running by manually reducing the oxygen flow rate and bringing the furnace temperature back to normal, which is equivalent to operating at a reduced load. The key is to identify the cause of the leak; if it cannot be resolved in a short time, considering notifying downstream parties to shut down the plant or switch to a backup unit may be an option.
