In the last article, we introduced the materials used in heat exchangers and condenser pipes in power plants. Today, we will focus on the difference between the common failure mechanism of copper alloy and stainless steel tubing used in power plants. Possible erosion of copper alloys tubing: Steam side erosion Ammonia grooves and stress corrosion…
Condensation is one of the pivotal parts of a turbine generator set. A condenser converts a gas or vapor into a liquid and quickly transfers heat out of the tube. Its performance directly affects the operation of the unit. Condenser works in a high-temperature environment which is essentially an exothermic process. As the main heat…
Most of the hydraulic cylinder is composed of a cylinder, cylinder head, piston and piston rod and sealing device. The comprehensive performance of the cylinder such as pressure resistance, wear-resistance and fatigue strength, determines the service life of the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder is usually required to withstand pressure within 20Mpa (continuous pressure), and the…
