    Operation of a Fluid Bed Drier

    As far as I know, high moisture balls maybe be due to one or some reasons as below: 1: Jam of spraying nozzle result in un-balance solution spraying in chamber. 2: Insufficient powder also cause failure formation of particle. 3: Please check your inlet fan and chamber mesh, jam mesh also could...

    Plate and Frame Heat Exchanger for Purified Water

    Dear Daragh Did you mean the double-sheet exchanger? We have double-sheet exchangers installed in out purity water 80C and 20C production system, and I know why you plan to install a same one on your distribution loop, maybe that the ambient temperature is higher than 30C and with purpose of...

    Cooling purity water without a exchanger.

    Dear cooky and SAK9: Yes you're right, I prefer to install a wrapping cooling jacket around the pipe to cool down the water temp. The diameter is DN40, and the peak temperature in summer is 35C. I have contacted some suppliers but they cannot provide us with this unit you mentioned, could you...

    Cooling purity water without a exchanger.

    Dears, I have a problem with our 20C Purity water loop, in summer the water temperature of this loop is higher than 30C,under this temperature, you know, the risk of bio-fouling is high, however we don't want to install another exchanger to cooling the water temp. down, that would be a large...

    Design of overflow drainer for deionized water tank

    Dear Daragh, Thanks very much for your kindly help and, you're right this drainer is a potential area bio-fouling. The existing U-shape section is to separate the tank side from outside, and the pressure inside actually is at ambient pressure due to another breather filter installed. Auditor's...

    Design of overflow drainer for deionized water tank

    Our deionized water storage tank has a overflow drainer installed to avoid overflow when level switch fails, which is a U-shape PVC pipe leads to ambient, you know, generally, that's always one U-pipe full of water. However the question is that how and when do you know there is full of water in...

    Remedy of double tubular sheets heat exchanger leakage issue

    Hi Bmoorthy, Thanks for your reply, and this HE is a type of double-sheet tubular heat exchanger with tube bundle of 80 pieces, at each end of the tube bundle there are two tube plate. The inner two of the tube plates are used for sealing off the shell, the two outer tube plates together with...

    Remedy of double tubular sheets heat exchanger leakage issue

    Dear All, Tubular heat exchanger in our plant we use to produce purified and process water(high temperature) for about 5years but, now condensate leakage is visible at the inner tube plate due to the failed sealing off between tube and plate. Because of the special running condition under which...
