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.


Where would a steam separator be located on a boiler?

In the steam drum, where steam exits and flows to the superheaters.


How do you work ejector system of desalination plant?

to create vacuum for decreasing the boiling point. it works the base of converging-diverging procedure.


How steam required for steam tracing of jacketed lines is calculated how much steam required for sulfur melting?

The steam required for steam tracing is calculated on the basis of the amount of heat transfer that is required or the temperature that you want to maintain with the help of steam. It also depends on the pipe material through which the steam is passing,the condition of the steam that whether it is saturated or superheated etc. Overall heat transfer cofficient is calculated considering all the factors like fouling or scaling,inside and outside dia. , surface area etc. After calculating the amount of heat to be transferred, the requirement of rate of steam is calculated. Generally, Low pressure steam is used as it has got more latent/Sensible heat as compared to MP or Superheated steam.

How air ejector maintains vacuume in condenser in thermal power plant?

It is one of the types of air ejector which is used in the steam like near the condenser to remove the non condensable gases and some vapour entering into main condenser by an air ejector and it is cooled by the main condensate and released in the ejector condenser. A steam is used as the motive fluid to withdraw air and dissolved gases from the condenser by the ejector action. In each stage of the steam jet ejector, high pressure steam is expanded in a convergent /divergent nozzle. The steam leaves the nozzle at a very high velocity in the order of 1220 m/s and a proportion of the kinetic energy in the steam jet transferred by interchange of momentum to the body of air which entrained and passes along with the operating steam through a diffuser in which the kinetic energy of combined steam is re-converted to pressure energy. The maximum pressure ratio that can be obtained with a single stage is roughly 5:1 and consequently it is necessary to use two or even three stages in series to establish a vacuum in the order of 724mm of Hg with reasonable steam consumption.


What are the reasons of failure of steam jet ejector Steam jet ejector is not able to sustain vacuum.Why?

Check the seals and connections for a leak allowing air to infiltrate and thus causing loss of a vacuum VERY common problem as the coefficient of expansion per degree causes havoc on metal to metal connections such as a pump connected to ejector housing


How does multi-stage steam jet air ejector works?

A steam ejector is a pump-like device, with no moving parts or pistons, that utilizes high-pressure steam to compress vapours or gases. This creates a vacuum in any vessel or chamber connected to the suction inlet of the ejector The adjacent diagram depicts a typical modern ejector. It consists of a motive fluid inlet nozzle and a converging-diverging outlet nozzle. In this case of a steam ejector, the motive fluid is high-pressure steam. The Venturi effect, a particular case of Bernoulli's principle, applies to the operation of this device. The high-pressure steam is converted into a high-velocity jet at the throat of the convergent-divergent nozzle which creates a low pressure at that point. The low pressure draws the suction fluid (a vapour or gas in this case) into the convergent-divergent nozzle where it mixes with the high-pressure steam. In essence, the pressure energy of the inlet steam is converted to kinetic energy in the form of velocity head at the throat of the convergent-divergent nozzle. As the mixed fluid then expands in the divergent diffuser, the kinetic energy is converted back to pressure energy at the diffuser outlet in accordance with Bernoulli's principle. The compression ratio of the steam jet ejector, P2/P1, is defined as ratio of the ejector's outlet pressure, P2, to the inlet pressure of the suction vapour or gas, P1. The entrainment ratio of the steam jet ejector, Ws/Wv, is defined as the amount of motive steam, Ws (in kg/hr), required to entrain and compress a given amount, Wv (in kg/hr), of suction vapour or gas. The compression ratio and the entrainment ratio are key parameters in designing a steam jet ejector. In practice, for suction pressure below 100 mbar absolute, more than one ejector will be used, usually with condensors between the ejector stages. Condensing of motive steam greatly improves ejector set efficiency. Both barometric and shell-and-tube surface condensers are used for this purpose. BY M.D.V.PRASAD mdvprasad007@gmail.com


What is uncombustion gases in steam ejector?

Incondensible gases, are gases that do not condense and do not dissolve readily in hot water. Steam ejectors are used to remove these gases from a condenser.

Auxiliary steam stop valve?

It is a stop valve placed on an auxiliary piece of equipment. Or it could be placed at the steam main to feed an auxiliary steam system (heating, auxiliary pumping. etc.). It is not the Main steam stop for the boiler or the prime mover (engine, turbine, process), it is for a secondary service.


What is hogging ejector?

First is the "hogging ejector," which I prefer to call the "start-up ejector" because I think it is more descriptive of what this does. It is usually a large and rather inefficient brute-force ejector used to pull vacuum quickly on a process vessel. Once vacuum is attained, this ejector is shut off and taken off-line. The vacuum is maintained by the "holding" system. The hogging - or start-up- ejector is usually used in a batch process or on a steam turbine, an application where it is important to get the main vacuum system on-line quickly. Hogging ejectors are usually single-stage, but they have also been built as two- and even three-stage non-condensing systems.
