How much liquid should be allowed in the suction line when charging?

absolutely none. there is almost no more sure way to wreck a compressor than allowing liquid into the compressor.


Can you put a clear epoxy over an oil concrete stain?

First you must pressure wash as best as possible. Next you need to acid wash the concrete. Finally you should be able to neutralize the acid with a vinegar and water solution. Let dry. You should prepare the whole floor this way.


Biogas Production Anaerobic digestion?

Hi, A typical gas system comprises the digester cover, pressure and vacuum relief devices, water trap, flame trap, pressure regulator, gas meter, check valve, pressure gauges, waste gas burner and a gas holder. Mixing of digesters by means of gas re-circulation requires a compressor. The digester is covered to contain odours, maintain temperature, keeps air out and to collect the gas. Fixed covers are more usual than floating covers. During normal operation, there is a space for gas collection between the cover and the liquid surface of the digester contents. The cover of a digester has certain unique features that the operating staff must be aware of, for example, how the variation in pressure and the level inside the digester may affect the cover. The biggest danger associated with the operation of fixed cover digesters occurs when the pressure relief device mounted on top of the digester fails or the sludge overflow line blocks and the liquid level in the digester continues to rise. In such a situation, the excess gas pressure inside the digester can exceed the maximum design pressure and damage the cover or its mountings. Fixed covers can also be damaged by excess negative pressure (vacuum) or if the rate of waste sludge withdrawal exceeds the feed rate or the vacuum relief device fails. The function of the pressure relief device is to allow pressure that exceeds a safe level to escape from the digester. The manufacturer's specifications should provide the following information to enable the operating staff to control the gas system safely. (a) The system's normal operating pressure (mm water gauge). (b) The pressure at which the pressure relief device should operate. (c) The rated gas flow capacity of the pipes. A gas system generally comprises three pressure relief devices; one mounted on the cover of the digester, one on the gas holder and one situated at the end of the gas line before the gas burner. This device releases gas to the waste gas burner before the design gas pressure of the digester cover is reached. The vacuum relief device functions in the opposite manner to the pressure relief device and allows air to enter the digester in the event of the waste sludge being withdrawn too rapidly. Air should not, under normal conditions, be allowed to enter the digester because a mixture of air and methane is potentially highly explosive. Gas leaving the digester is almost saturated with water vapour. As the gas cools, the water vapour condenses causing problems. The problem is more severe when digesters are heated. To solve the problem it is essential to remove as much of the moisture as possible before the gas comes into contact with the gas system devices. For this reason, water traps should be located as close to the digester as possible. All piping should be sloped a minimum of 1% towards the water trap, which should be situated at a low point in the gas line. Flame traps are emergency devices installed in gas lines to prevent flames travelling back up the gas line (flashback) and reaching the digester. The flame trap generally consists of a box filled with stone or a metal grid. If a flame develops in the gas line, the temperature of the flame is reduced below the ignition point as it passes through the trap and the flame is extinguished. Pressure regulators are used when a lower pressure than the system operating pressure, is required for a specific device such as a boiler water heater or incinerator. Regulators maintain a constant gas pressure at the point of use The rate of gas production is probably the most sensitive process control indicator at the disposal of the operating staff. Gas meters should be regularly serviced so as to give accurate and reliable gas readings. Every effort should be made to have the gas meter calibrated every six months. Check valves (non-return valves) are installed in the gas line to allow gas flow in one direction only i.e. out of the digester. Gas pressure gauges indicate the pressure in the gas system and assist in locating any blockages in the line. If a blockage occurs, a pressure reading downstream will register a lower pressure than that of a gauge upstream. The pressure relief device at the waste gas burner safely flares excess gas to the atmosphere and thus reduces the potential for a dangerous accumulation of gas in the system. Many anaerobic digestion waste treatment plants have a means of storing excess gas. This can be in the form of either a floating roof on the digester or a separate gasholder. A mixture of biogas and air can be explosive. Methane gas in concentrations of between 5% and 15% in air by volume is explosive. Operating staff on waste treatment plants should ensure that no air is allowed to enter the digester or gasholder. All piping and equipment must be sealed properly to prevent gas from escaping to the outside. There must be no smoking and all electrical installations, including light switches, torches etc must be of the explosion-proof type, as the smallest spark could ignite escaped gases.

How far should eyewash stations be from chemicals?

Eyewash stations should be no more than 10 seconds walk from where chemicals are used and splashed may occur.


What safety precautions should be taken before cleaning a heat exchanger?

Prior to cleaning a heat exchanger, one should be sure to use hand, body, and eye protection. One should not conduct acid and bleach flushing simultaneously, as this produces a noxious gas which can be lethal if inhaled for an extended period of time.

How do you determine what suction pressure should be in R22 air conditioning compressors suction line?

The proper suction pressure of any air conditioning or refrigeration system is determined by the type of refrigerant used and sometimes the amount of charge. : Suction pressure used is also directly related to the temperature required. : The temperature required in the evaporator relates to the pressure required in the suction line since, the fluid is at saturation in the evaporator. : Knowing the temperature required, use the fluid's saturation tables to find the corresponding pressure required.

How do you maintain net positive suction head of a pump?

first of all the term NPSH should be clear.It is pressure which should be available at the eye of the pump impeller,so as to avoid vaporisation of liquid. Second which arises ,how this liquid will vaporise?Ans-if a vapour pressure of a liquid falls at constt temperature or temperature of liquid is raised at constt pressure it vaporises.In case of pump it's mostly the first case. Now,how to manitain NPSH. NPSHa> NPSHr (always) where NPSHa= available NPSH NPSHr = Required NPSH NPSH = Hps+Hsl-Hvp-Hfl Hps= pressure acting on the eye due to pressure in the suction drum. Hsl = pressure acting due to height of liquid in the suction line. Hvp= vapour pressure of the liquid Hfl= head loss due to friction losses Thus, to maintain the NPSH, variables in hand are,Hps and Hsl.increase the height of the suction line or increase the pressure of the suction drum.
