How much do you know about torch repairs?
The torch is an indispensable and important equipment in the production of petroleum, natural gas and other chemical industries, and its maintenance is of great significance to ensure the safety and stability of production. However, due to the complexity of the structure and operating principle of the torch, the maintenance of the torch has also become a highly professional technical work. This article will introduce the basic knowledge, common faults and handling methods of torch maintenance to help readers better understand the relevant knowledge of torch maintenance.
First, the basic knowledge of torch maintenance.
1.Structural composition of the torch.
The torch is mainly composed of a burner, a combustion chamber, a chimney, an ignition system and other parts. Among them, the burner is the core component of the flare, which is responsible for mixing fuel and air and ignition;The combustion chamber is the place where the fuel is burned;The chimney discharges the exhaust gases produced by combustionThe ignition system ensures that the torch can be lit stably and reliably.
2.How the torch works.
The working principle of the flare is mainly to mix fuel and air through the ignition system and ignite it to produce a high-temperature flame. When the high-temperature flame heats the exhaust gas to a certain temperature, the combustible components in the exhaust gas are ignited, generating harmless gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These harmless gases are discharged through the chimney and thus the exhaust gas is treated.
3.The importance of torch repair.
Flare maintenance is of great significance to ensure the safety and stability of production. If the flare fails, it will not only affect the treatment effect of the exhaust gas, but also may cause safety accidents. Therefore, regular maintenance of the torch to ensure its normal operation is an important measure to ensure the safety and stability of production.
2. Common faults and solutions.
1.Burner failure.
The burner is the core component of the flare, and its failure often causes the flare to fail to ignite properly. Common burner failures include ignition failure, flame instability, etc. For these failures, you can take the following actions:
1) Check whether the ignition system is working normally, such as whether the ignition electrode, ignition transformer and other components are damaged;
2) Check whether the mixing ratio of fuel and air is appropriate, if the amount of air is insufficient or too much, it will lead to the instability of the flame;
3) Check whether there is blockage or coking inside the burner, and clean it if necessary
4) Check whether there is air leakage on the outside of the burner, and repair the leakage if necessary.
2.Combustion chamber failure.
The combustion chamber is a place where fuel is burned, and its failure often leads to poor exhaust gas treatment. Common combustion chamber faults include excessively high exhaust air temperatures and excessive levels of combustible components in the exhaust gases. For these failures, you can take the following actions:
1) Check whether there is blockage or coking inside the combustion chamber, and clean it if necessary
2) Check whether there is air leakage outside the combustion chamber, and repair the air leakage if necessary
3) Check whether the mixing ratio of fuel and air is appropriate, if the amount of air is insufficient or too much, it will lead to excessive exhaust air temperature;
4) Check whether the burner is working normally, if the burner is damaged, the content of combustible components in the exhaust gas will exceed the standard.
3.Chimney failure.
The chimney is a channel for exhaust gas to be discharged, and its failure often leads to the failure of exhaust gas to discharge normally. Common chimney failures include chimney blockage, chimney leakage, etc. For these failures, you can take the following actions:
1) Check whether there is a blockage inside the chimney, and clean it if necessary
2) Check whether there is air leakage on the outside of the chimney, and repair the air leakage if necessary
3) Check whether the height of the chimney is appropriate, if the height is insufficient, the exhaust gas will not be discharged normally;
4) Check whether the insulation layer of the chimney is intact, if the insulation layer is damaged, the waste air temperature will be too low and the condensation will block the chimney.
