Heating for the production of vinyl carbonate
Thread Content
The normal-pressure melting point of vinyl carbonate is around 35°C; what is used for heating in its production? Jacket or steam tracing pipe? Steam or hot water?
There is enough hot water, and the electric heating system is easy to design and install; it’s also simple to operate. Some property owners don’t care about the initial investment – what matters to them is operation and ease of use.
What about using a hot water jacket? Is a heat tracing tube sufficient?
{:3_57:} Electric heating is the most convenient option – it features automatic control and doesn’t pose a risk to other systems. . . The coils and jackets are outdated
It’s better to use a jacket; if the heat tracing tubes don’t provide adequate insulation, the fluid will freeze up, which is not good. A jacket ensures even heating~
Well, you get what you pay for – if you really want to save money, then make sure to use proper insulation materials. Of course, this might not be something within your control; saving money means taking on the risk that the materials used may not be of sufficient quality. It reminds me of what happened a few days ago at the power plant in Fengcheng, Jiangxi – they tried to save time and money by using substandard cement. Similar situations have occurred in previous projects as well; it’s not the first time such things have happened. Just because nothing went wrong before doesn’t mean it won’t happen this time either. The risk is always there; whether it turns into an accident depends on timing and luck. I saw on the news that the general manager was crying – even if they manage to save millions, is that really worth it? Everyone knows the consequences of trying to save money. Even I, a young person, understand this, so I can’t believe that a general manager with years of experience wouldn’t be aware of the risks involved. It’s just a matter of luck and greed getting the better of them. Pity those workers; they became wandering spirits for no reason.
Yes. I wonder which one works better in practice; using a jacket adds far more than just heating tubes – valves and various piping components are also required, and the construction is more difficult as well. Have you done similar designs before? Still in use?
