Heat-resistant temperature

Polymers used for seat and plug seals and internal static seals include PTFE (polytetrafluoroeth ene) and other fluorocarbons, polyethylene, nylon, polyether-ether-ketone, and acetal. Fluorocarbons are often carbon or glass-filled to improve mechanical properties and heat resistance. Temperature and chemical compatibility with the process fluid are the key selec tion criteria. Polymer-lined bearings and guides are used to decrease fric tion, which lessens dead band and reduces actuator force requirements. See Sec. 28, Materials of Construction, for properties. 

However, the incorporation of the poly(styrene)-based resin, which is more flammable than the poly(phenylene ether)-based resins, lowers the heat resistant temperature of the mixed resin of poly(phenylene ether)/ poly(st5n ene) and makes the resin flammable. Therefore, a novel method that enables molding a poly(phenylene ether)-based resin without incorporating poly(styrene) has been desired. Moreover, it has also been desirable to develop a method of achieving both moldability and flame resistance at the same time. 

In conclusion, the ceramics-coated separator is not effective in preventing internal short circuits when a cell is heated above the heat-resistant temperature of the binder used. I feel no reluctance to admit that these separators contribute to the uniform temperature distribution in the electrodes, because ceramic coatings are effective as regards uniform heat distribution.

The discussion about optimum design parameters does not consider the temperature limit for industrial catalysts. It is actually possible that the outlet temperature at first bed determined by the method mentioned above will excess the functionable temperature of the catalyst, especially for some new catalysts that can operate at low temperatures and low pressures such as A301 and ZA-5. In practice, this case happens frequently. It is a problem that the optimum interval distribution is restricted by the limit of heat-resistant temperature. 

The reaction temperatures of the catalyst bed are determined by the active temperature of catalysts. For the selection of the reaction temperature, not only the optimum reaction temperature but also the requirements of catalyst performance should be considered. In an industrial process, the temperature of catalyst beds should be especially controlled in the range of active temperature of catalysts. The inlet temperature of the catalyst bed should not be less than the initial active temperature of the catalyst. The highest bed temperature must not exceed the heat-resistance temperature of the catalyst. The characteristics of the operating temperatures of iron catalysts are shown in Table 8.7. 

In a multi-bed adiabatic reactor, the first bed of catalyst bears about 70% production task of the whole converter, thus the protection of the catalyst in the first bed is very important. The inlet gases of the reactor must not contain water vapor, liquid ammonia, and trace amounts of CO - - CO2 or other poisons. Above all, the temperature in catalyst bed must not exceed the heat-resistant temperature of the catalyst. This is because high temperature can quicken up catalyst-aging, decrease catalytic activity and the net yield of ammonia due to decrease of equilibrium ammonia concentration.

For the inlet temperatures of the second and subsequent bed, because their outlet temperature will not be higher than the heat-resistant temperature of catalyst (due to small temperature rises), it is best to set the inlet temperatures of the second and subsequent beds such that the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the beds is maximum or the net yields (production) of ammonia highest.
