Oh, dude, seal pots are like these containers that are used in pumps to collect any leakage from the pump shaft seal. They help prevent the leakage from spilling all over the place and causing a mess. So yeah, they're basically like the pump's way of saying, "Oops, my bad, let me catch that for you."

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 a wet cylinder liner?

In a wet cylinder liner the coolant of the engine runs in a space between the liner and the engine block. This gives excellent cooling, but is quite tricky to make good seal, particularly at the crank end of the cylinder. In a dry liner the coolant runs in channels in the block, and the liner is only like a sleeve stuck in a metal hole. Poorer cooling, but an easier build.
