Temperature system

Fluorine can be handled using a variety of materials (100—103). Table 4 shows the corrosion rates of some of these as a function of temperature. System cleanliness and passivation ate critical to success. Materials such as nickel, Monel, aluminum, magnesium, copper, brass, stainless steel, and carbon steel ate commonly used. Mote information is available in the Hterature (20,104). 

Reforming is completed in a secondary reformer, where air is added both to elevate the temperature by partial combustion of the gas stream and to produce the 3 1 H2 N2 ratio downstream of the shift converter as is required for ammonia synthesis. The water gas shift converter then produces more H2 from carbon monoxide and water. A low temperature shift process using a zinc—chromium—copper oxide catalyst has replaced the earlier iron oxide-catalyzed high temperature system. The majority of the CO2 is then removed.

For the high temperature systems, dicyandiamide and aromatic-amine hardeners are frequendy used. For room temperature systems, polyamide aminoamide, and aliphatic-amine hardeners are preferred. 

The probe design includes provisions to compensate for temperature variations. This feature is not totally successful. The most reliable results are obtained in constant-temperature systems. 

The values of s/k are less dran 600 K for most of the simple molecules which are found in high temperature systems, and hence the collision integral may be assumed to have a value of unity in tlrese systems. 

The proteetive system is independent of the eontrol system and provides proteetion from over-speed, over-temperature, vibration, loss of flame, and loss of lubrieation. The over-speed proteetion system generally has a trans-dueer mounted on the aeeessory gear or shaft, and trips the gas turbine at approximately 10% of maximum design speed. The over-temperature system has thermoeouples similar to the normal temperature eontrols with a similar redundant system. The flame deteetion system eonsists of at least two ultraviolet flame deteetors to sense a flame in the eombustion eans. 

For a high-temperature system, a separate subheader may be run up to the point where the temperature drops down to the allowable limit of a less expensive material. It may then be connected to the main flare header (either low pressure or high pressure).To properly evaluate this a heat loss calculation is needed. As a rule of thumb a heat loss of 10 BTU/hr/ft may be assumed for a quick estimate for bare pipe. Consideration should also be given to the need for expansion joints. Main flare headers may be as large as 36 to 42 inches in diameter for a large-capacity plant. Expansion joints of such magnitudes may be so expensive as to call for a separate small header for the hot flare system.

The design of low-temperature systems, whether mechanical expansion turbine or throtding valve, is a special technology and cannot be adequately covered in this chapter. References on the subject include 20, 21, 23, 60. 

For low-temperature heating systems using natural convective or radiant appliances the normal design water flow temperature to the system is 83°C (see also Table 27.8). Boost temperatures may be used on modulated-temperature systems because of the changes in heat output characteristics with varying temperatures. Additionally, comfort aspects must be borne in mind, as forced convective emitters operating on modulated temperature systems can deliver air streams at unacceptably low temperatures. 

Where high temperatures are required (e.g. for process work) and lower temperatures for space heating, it is desirable to use flash steam recovery from the high-temperature condensate to feed into the low-temperature system, augmented as required by reduced pressure live steam. 

All samples should be taken from circulating systems, or immediately upon shutdown, while the hydraulic fluid is within 5°C(9°F) of normal system operating temperature. Systems not up to temperature may provide non-representative samples of system dirt and water content, and such samples should either be avoided or so indicated on the analysis report. The first oil coming from the sampling point should be discarded, since it can be very dirty and does not represent the system. As a mle, a volume of oil equivalent to one to two times the volume of oil contained in the sampling line and valve should be drained before the sample is taken. 

A large variety of oils is available, and recommendations for any set of conditions, compressor type and refrigerant can be obtained from the refiners. They are naphthene or paraffin-based oils. Synthetic lubricants have been developed for ultra-low-and high-temperature systems, especially for process heat pumps. 

Tow-temperature systems and cold stores should be brought down slowly, to allow for shrinkage in the structure. A fall of 5 K per day is reasonable, moving more slowly through the band + 2°C to - 2°C.

A prerequisite of long-life sodium/sulfur batteries is that the cells contain suitable corrosion-resistant materials which withstand the aggressively corrosive environment of this high—temperature system. Stackpool and Maclachlan have reported on investigations in this field [17], The components in an Na/S cell are required to be corrosion-resistant towards sodium, sulfur and especially sodium polysulphides. Four cell components suffer particularly in the Na/S environment the glass seal, the anode seal, the cathode seal, and the current collector (in central sodium arrangements, the cell case). 

NOTE Dual-temperature systems provide both HW and chilled water functions and employ common piping for much of the system. Water temperatures range from 34 °F/1.1 °C up to perhaps 250 °F/121.1 °C. 

Where nitrite/molybdate programs are employed, the nitrite reserve falls to 250 to 350 ppm as N02 in simpler systems and 350 to 650 ppm as N02 for higher temperature systems.

GP 1] [R 13] So-called micro-strip electrodes (MSE) can act as electrically steerable catalysts when used to switch on and off the conversion of ammonia at moderate voltages, several hundred volts (6 vol.-% NHj, 88 vol.-% O2, balance He 0.51 ms 260-380 °C) [75]. Thereby, NO formation was observed. By emitting and accelerating electrons in the range of mA cm current density from the solid to the gas phase, radicals were formed, typically much more than the number of released electrons, e.g. 10 radicals per electron. This efficient use of energy is referred to as dynamic catalysis. The gas phase near the electrodes contains hot and cold radicals, thus providing a two-temperature system. 

As a rule, because of the high temperatures, electrochemical reactions in melts are fast and involve little polarization. For such reactions the exchange current densities are as high as 10 to KFmA/cm. Therefore, reactivities in melts (and also in high-temperature systems with solid electrolytes) are usually determined not by kinetic but by thermodynamic features of the system. 

In electrocatalysis, the major subject are redox reactions occurring on inert, nonconsumable electrodes and involving substances dissolved in the electrolyte while there is no stoichiometric involvement of the electrode material. Electrocatalytic processes and phenomena are basically studied in aqueous solutions at temperatures not exceeding 120 to 150°C. Yet electrocatalytic problems sometimes emerge as well in high-temperature systems at interfaces with solid or molten electrolytes.
