Low temperature process cooling is an energy demanding part in many chemical production processes. Cooling systems operating at very low temperatures consume a large amount of high quality energy such as electricity or high pressure steam, used to drive refrigeration compressor units. Hence decreasing refrigeration load can make a major improvement on the process energy balance. In industrial p...

A superheater is a vital part of the steam generation process in the boiler-turbine system. Reliable control of temperature in the superheated steam temperature system is important to ensure high efficiency and high load-following capability in the operation of modern power plant. The PI and PID controllers are widely applied in cascade control of secondary superheated steam temperature process...

The orthogonal design method was used to determine the optimum conditions for modifying poplar fibers through a high temperature and pressurized steam treatment for the subsequent preparation of wood fiber/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites. The extreme difference, variance, and significance analyses were performed to reveal the effect of the modification parameters on the mechanical p...

Biodiesel has become an attractive fuel recently, because it is renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, etc. With the increase in the production of biodiesel, the problem of disposing crude glycerol, which is produced as main by-product from biodiesel process such as transesterification, has been raised. Therefore, we have been developing a new green technology-Hydrotherm...

Abstract. By testing the superheated steam temperature and its variation trend ,the traditional superheated steam temperature control system of boiler regulates desuperheating water flow so as to control the superheated steam temperature within permitted range . Under the influence of disturbance in desuperheating water flow, the delay of superheated steam temperature is bigger,which makes supe...

This presentation is a pure steam-plasma torch generated by microwave energy and uses it for coal gasification in a lightweight operating system. The high temperature of the steam torch when used for fast gasification reactions of low-grade coal ensures a compact reaction system for an electrical power plant.
