Hammer design

It was soon realized that the only effective means of removing the additional heat from the boiler would be to install additional tube bundles. Boiler manufacturers were consulted and they confirmed that there was sufficient room within the existing unit, in the space presently used as a radiation chamber, to install two additional bundles. Foster Wheeler, with their spring-hammer designed cleaning system, was the successful bidder. 

Materials and Reactions. Candle systems vary in mechanical design and shape but contain the same genetic components (Fig. 1). The candle mass contains a cone of material high in iron which initiates reaction of the soHd chlorate composite. Reaction of the cone material is started by a flash powder train fired by a spring-actuated hammer against a primer. An electrically heated wire has also been used. The candle is wrapped in insulation and held in an outer housing that is equipped with a gas exit port and rehef valve. Other elements of the assembly include gas-conditioning filters and chemicals and supports for vibration and shock resistance (4). 

In the second type of mill (Fig. 20-28), a cyhndrical grating is provided beneath the rotor for product discharge. Some hammer crushers are symmetrically designed so that the direction of rotation can be reversed to distribute wear evenly on the hammer and breaker plates. When such a Pennsylvania nonreversible hammermill is used for reduction, material is broken first by impacl against hammers and then by rubbing action (attrition) against screen bars. Performance data of Pennsylvania reversible hammer mills are shown in Table 20-14. 

There are several mechanical air classifiers designed to operate in the superfine 10- to 90- Im range. Two of these are the Mikroplex spiral air classifier MP T Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems Div.) and the classifier which is an intregal part of the Hurricane pulverizer-classifier ABB Raymond Div, Combustion Engineering Inc.) described under Hammer Mills. Others are the Majac classifier Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems Div.), the Sturtevant Superfine Air Separator, and the Bradley RMC classifier. These also use a vaned rotor, but operate at higher speed with higher power input and lower throughput. 

With a better understanding of the nature and severity of the water hammer problem, we can avoid its destructive forces. This greater understanding should also help with the introduction of more preventive measures into system designs and installations, which will help provide maximum safety for personnel, lower maintenance cost and reduce system downtime. 

Steam traps are automatic mechanisms that remove low heat-content air and condensate from the steam delivery system. The lack of steam traps or use of traps that fail to function properly leads to a gradual decline in heat-transfer efficiency, waterlogged heat exchangers, and water hammer (which may in turn result in ruptured pipes). When adequate maintenance of steam traps is neglected, this ultimately leads to a serious overall loss of operating efficiency. There are various types of steam traps, each designed for a specific function. Some common variations are discussed in the following sections. 

Under these conditions, the tendency is to try to compensate as quickly as possible for the loss of inhibitor and either add treatment directly to the condensate receiver, FW tank, or FW pump. This usually is not a good idea because in many cases the physically compact FT boiler design is insufficiently forgiving and problems of surging (priming) and foaming occur. This typically leads to carryover of BW and also the development of water hammer.

The sensitiveness of an explosive to impact is measured by determining the minimum height from which a given weight must be dropped in order to initiate detonation. Many forms of fall hammer test have been devised, the most important point of the various designs being the means adopted for retaining the explosive. A simple and practical method, used at Ardeer for many years, is shown in Fig. 6.7. In this the explosive is put... 

Depending on the relief stream components (with or without noncondensable gases) and quenching efficiency, this arrangement often obviates the need for a subsequent scrubber and/or flare stack. The design of the quencher arm is critical to efficient condensation and avoidance of water hammer. Figure 23-55 is the more conventional passive type quench pool used in the chemical and nuclear industry. 

Remove a small sample of each of the elements contained in a dish and place it on a hard surface designated by your teacher. Gently tap each element sample with a small hammer. CAUTION Safety goggles must be worn. If the element is malleable, it will flatten. If it is brittle, it will shatter. Record your observations.
