Seal pots (sometime called condensate pots) are used to allow a liquid seal between the instrument and flowing gases such as steam. Their function is to keep the liquid level constant in the impulse tubes. For example, in boiler liquid level applications the high pressure (HP) side of a differential pressure transmitter is connected to the vapor space on top of the steam drum. Steam condenses in the chamber or seal pot and fills the impulse line with condensate. The seal pot is located to allow the condensate to drain back

to the source thus keeping the liquid level constant.

What is the purpose of wall seal blower in cfbc boiler?

The wall seal blower in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) boiler serves to maintain a proper seal between the combustion chamber and the external environment. By creating a slight negative pressure, it prevents the escape of flue gases and ensures efficient combustion by maintaining the required airflow. Additionally, it helps to enhance the overall efficiency of the boiler by optimizing the circulation of the bed material and improving the combustion process.


Is teflon tape required on flare fittings?

No, teflon tape (and pipe dope, for that matter) should never be used on flare fittings. They are designed to seal without tape or dope, and may actually leak if tape or dope is used.


Why the height kept of steam ejector 10.33 m?

So that it can maintain a vacuum on the condenser; and the U-drains, which drain back to the condenser, don't get sucked dry by the ejector set. The length of each leg of U-drain is specifically designed to maintain a certain vacuum at each position. The U-drains drain the condensate from the inter and after condensers and the gland seal condenser back to the main condenser. Water under a perfect vacuum will stand in a column 34 feet high (10.33 meters), which means a vacuum of 30 inches of mercury (762 mm) would draw everything out of a column that is not at least that high. It's to maintain the water seal on the U-drains to prevent air induction into the condenser.


Is Teflon tape use able on a fitting in a gasoline tank?

Teflon is inert to gasoline and all petroleum products. The problem with Teflon is it cold flows under pressure so that when tightened (when wrapped around your fitting) it will relax eventually and probably not seal properly. This is not something you want where gasoline can leak.


What is pipe dope?

Something I REALLY don't recommend trying to get high on! Before they invented teflon tape, a plumber who wanted to seal pipe threads used a liquid sealant. You can still get this and many plumbers prefer it. It comes in a little can with a brush, and you apply it to the threads on the pipe before you screw the pipe into the fitting. It's called "dope" because it can make you dizzy if you inhale the fumes.

What is the purpose of seal pots in pumps?

Seal pots in pumps serve to maintain a controlled environment for mechanical seals by providing a reservoir of fluid that helps prevent leakage of process fluids. They are used to ensure that the seal operates under optimal conditions, often by maintaining a specific pressure or temperature. Additionally, seal pots can help protect the mechanical seal from abrasive or corrosive substances in the pumped fluid, extending the life of the pump and reducing maintenance requirements.
