No.Screw compressors can handle a little bit of liquid,because of internal slide valve.Reciprocating compressors can not handle liquid.

Why is that you use 347H tubes in superheater in ammonia plant whereas in power plants the superheater tubes are of P22?

People who know about things like that at all, would know the answer, or at least ask a pro not WikiAnswers.


What is the Definition for simple distillation?

The two most elementary forms of distillation are a continuous http://www.answers.com/topic/equilibrium-flash-vaporization and a simple http://www.answers.com/topic/batch-distillation. In a continuous equilibrium distillation, a continuously flowing liquid feed is heated or reduced in pressure (flashed) so as to cause partial vaporization. The vapor and liquid disengage while flowing through an open drum, and the products emerge as vapor and liquid streams. The vapor product can be condensed to form a liquid distillate. It is also possible to use a vapor feed, subjected to cooling and thereby http://www.answers.com/topic/partial-condensation, again followed by http://www.answers.com/topic/disengagement of the resultant vapor and liquid in an open drum. In a simple batch distillation, an entire batch of liquid is initially charged to a vessel and is then heated, typically by http://www.answers.com/topic/condensation of steam inside a metal http://www.answers.com/topic/coil within the vessel. Vapor is thereby continuously generated, and may be condensed to form a liquid distillate, which is collected. In the batch distillation, increments of vapor are formed in equilibrium with all liquid compositions ranging from the original to the final, whereas the continuous equilibrium distillation gives vapor in equilibrium with only the final liquid composition. Since the distillate consists primarily of the more volatile components and the feed liquid contains more of these substances than does the final liquid, the simple batch distillation gives a more http://www.answers.com/topic/enrichment distillate than does the continuous equilibrium distillation.

What do you do if a oxy-acetylene gas is leaking from welding bottles?

It depends on where the gas is leaking. If it is from the regulator connection sometimes just readjusting and tightening the grooved nut will stop the leak. Turn off the valve and remove the regulator. Check for dirt particles and damage to the seat and regulator bulb (the fat part that fits against the seat), open and close the valve quickly to blow out any loose particles, reattach the regulator. Check to see if the gas is still escaping. If it is, the regulator bulb or the valve seat may be damaged. All cylinders have a fuseable plug and if it is leaking from there evacuate the area immediately and call emergency personnel. If it is from the valve area you may be able to stop the leak by tightening the packing nut at the base of the valve stem. With the regulator attached open the cylinder valve slightly and tighten the packing nut. Check to see if this stops the leak. If immediate attempts fail, evacuate the area.

What is the conductivity of ammonia?

Ammonia is not conductive at all because a conductive element needs to be ionic AND liquid


Is ammonia a solid liquid or a gas?

Dissolved Ammonia is generally gaseous ammonia reacting with water to form both NH3 (aq) molecules (i.e. ammonia molecules hydrogen bonded with water) and NH4+(aq) and OH- (aq) ions. These are all in solution, so technically its a liquid.

What are the disadvantages of ammonia as solvent?

Disadvantages Of Liquid NH3 As a Solvent1. The freezing point and melting point of liquid ammonia -77.7 and -33.40 are low and the liquid range is very small. This poses few experimental problems.2. Ammonia is a toxic compound. Due precautions need to be taken. It has to be worked in a closed system.3. Liq. Ammonia is hygroscopic in nature. Hence all the reactions are to be carried out in sealed tubes.4. The use of liq. Ammonia as a solvent and as a reaction medium required special technique as it has offensive odour.


What types of tools can be used with an air compressor?

Drills, Compressors, and jack hammers can all be used with air compressors. There are commercial versions of compressors also available.


Why is liquid ammonia a non electrolyte but aqueous ammonia an electrolyte?

For the conduction of electricity, the conducting species must be charged either +ve or -Ve. In case of liquid ammonia all molecule are in NH3 form i.e. neutral so it is non electrolyte but it's aqueous solution is get dissociate as NH3 + H2O = (NH4)+ + (OH)- this ammonium and hydroxyl ions are available for conduction of current!


Will ammonia kill trees if you spray around to get rid of raccoons?

Liquid ammonia used for this purpose is household cleaning type of ammonia. This should not harm trees at all as your application will be exterior spraying lightly on the surface of the bark of the trees and not soaking the ground with the ammonia in order to reach the roots. A different form of ammonia called ammonium nitrate is a type of fertilizer that is use to feed all types of plants. This type is a mixture of ammonia and nitrogen and is pelletized most of the time for the purpose of feeding. In the manner you are applying it should not harm the trees at all.


Who manufactures craftsman air compressors?

I have three Craftsman air compressors, and on all three, the tank is marked with DeVilbiss. I can't say who manufactures the COMPRESSOR portion, but the TANK comes from DeVilbiss, who also does make compressors.

How good is the liquid metal armor in dragon quest swords It say Defence 105 Reduce physical damage by 30 procent But is it physical damage taken or dealt or maybe both?

Don't worry, it is damage TAKEN only, it does not reduce the damage you yourself deal. Liquid Metal Armor is one of the best armours in all the games it appears in, in terms of resisting physical damage.

Is .5 ammonia bad for the water in your fish tank?

Any ammonia is BAD. Your filter is not working well enough. To keep thing safe you will need to be doing some extra water changes (maybe daily) until the filter is working efficiently. Ammonia should be kept at 0ppm at all time. It is toxic and leave permanent damage to the fish even if the fish survive it. Either your tank has not been cycled properly or the nitrogen cycle has crashed, or you have not cycled your tank at all. You need increase the partial water change to minimize the damage.
