Precautions for orifice plate installation

Precautions for orifice plate installation
Jul 08, 2022
Author: DEAR AST

In order to ensure the reading accuracy of orifice flowmeter, the installation of orifice flowmeter should pay attention to the following points: the installation position of orifice should be in the straight pipe section, and there should be no protruding plastic, welding marks and dirt in the pipe with a distance of ten times the pipe diameter in front of the orifice and five times the pipe diameter behind the orifice. The installation direction of the orifice plate should not be mistaken, and the sharp edge of the inlet should correspond to the flow direction of the fluid; The center of the orifice plate must coincide with the center of the pipe. The orifice plates of different fluids cannot be installed incorrectly, because the coefficient K in the flow calculation formula is related to factors such as fluid density.

In June 2016, the fifth air separation plant KDON (AR) 30000/70000-900 of Kaifeng DEAR air separation plant for Hebei Anfeng iron and Steel Co., Ltd. was successfully started up at one time, and qualified oxygen and nitrogen products were successfully debugged. The output and purity of the products reached and exceeded the technical indicators required by the contract. After more than two months of normal operation, in September 2016, the argon system was put into operation and the argon indicators were tested to meet the standards, and the argon output was stable at 950nm ³/ H above, the purity is greater than 99.999%. Win users' praise again.

Regulation of liquid nitrogen throttle valveThe opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve not only affects the reflux ratio of the upper tower, but also affects the reflux ratio of the lower tower. When the opening is increased, the reflux ratio of the upper tower increases, while the reflux ratio of the lower tower decreases, the purity of the nitrogen in the upper tower increases, and the purity of the oxygen enriched night sky in the lower tower increases. However, after the opening is over, the purity of the liquid nitrogen decreases, and the reduction of the reflux ratio of the upper tower is also detrimental to the improvement of the purity of the liquid oxygen. Therefore, an equilibrium point should be found for the opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. We can generally use the purity difference between liquid nitrogen and gas nitrogen to judge whether the opening is appropriate. Generally, the purity of the sprayed liquid nitrogen is equal to that of the upper towe

In the field of air separation, entropy is the core thermodynamic parameter to measure the energy quality and irreversibility of the system, which directly determines the energy consumption level and operation efficiency of the unit. Entropy, with the symbol s, is essentially a measure of the degree of chaos and energy unavailability of a system, in kj/(kg ・ K). The second law of thermodynamics clearly states that the total entropy of an isolated system only increases but does not decrease, that is, the principle of entropy increase. The higher the entropy, the lower the energy quality, and the more difficult it is to convert into cold energy or useful work; The smaller the entropy, the more orderly the energy, and the more sufficient the available energy. The essence of air separation unit is the combination of cryogenic refrigeration and distillation separation, and the whole process is closely related to entropy. The ideal reversible process is an isentropic process, and the entropy
