Hey,
In my py game I've just started using a regenerative heat exchanger(RHE) to make hot air for my glass maker. The RHE requires pressurised air and hot stone bricks. Air, no problem. Hot stone bricks, no problem. Made those in a furnace with normal bricks and tried using an inserter to direct insert them into the RHE. But the inserter wont put them into the RHE. I wondered if you couldnt direct insert so I put them into a box and then from there into the RHE. But still the inserter wont pick them up. I wondered if I had the wrong item, so I picked them up myself and manually put them in and it was fine.
What could I possibly be doing wrong? I even tried a filter inserter but still no joy?
I'm not at my computer at the minute so I cant post a screenshot but I can do it later if needed.
In more detail: I noticed that if we take, for example 4 reactors, that gives us 480 MW heat output in total, but in most designs, more heat exchangers are attached to them than the total heat output. Exactly why do we do this?:”D
Gonna do a serious few hour recirc on my heat exchanger. What’s your preferred chemical line up. Im thinking acid followed by bru r ez. Or should I just use caustic. So many floaties after my typical brew day clean. Really wanna punish this heat exchanger with chemicals.
It's my first time designing a heat exchanger and I would like to ask a few questions,
- Is the Kern Method a good method to follow in designing?
- Which fluids are usually undergoing through a heat exchanger?
- What is the difference between the Caloric Temperature & Arithmetic Mean Temperature?
Any other tips you may give will be highly appreciated!
ive been in service probably 7 years now but i never felt confident on checking heat exchangers. i know the usual, pull burners and limits. of its an 80% pull the blower wheel, check rollout. 90% you have the nasty oder of a secondary is clogged, or if you have time and space, open up the plenum and check through the coil. ive been through a heat exchanger class, and while it was helpful, i didnt see an improvement. its easy to find cracks when everything is torn apart and open. any suggestions would be great
As title implies, had a HVAC company out to look at my furnace and they told me the heat exchanger is cracked. First, a few caveats: furnace is from 2001, so I know its on borrowed time, and second, I don't know how fast these cracks developed, so its entirely possible they could accelerate exponentially. That said..
Looking at what I see here vs what I see when I search cracked heat exchangers, this looks like negligible damage that doesn't have much of a chance for significant gas leakage. Its also only on one rivet, all others were fine.
What I want to know is a. Does this look serious and b. Is this something in its current condition that could be put off till at least the summer, or does this need to be replaced now?
Can you guys settle an argument for me?
Simple enough, HE furnace with an inducer motor and cracked heat exchanger.
1st: as the heat exchanger is under negative pressure and the plenum is positive - you'd need a significant crack or hole to actually leak CO into the plenum yeah?
2nd: in general if the heat exchanger is cracked it would pull in air from the plenum?
I know, it's simple and I sound like an idiot - and I am one.... I forgot where I was going with that
I have a 2018 q50 luxe that I purchased within the last year and I was wondering if adding a heat exchanger would jeopardize my warranty in anyway. We all know those turbos will go eventually so I just want to make sure I don’t screw my self in the long run
I'll be using the Soto Windmaster as a stove, and I've been looking at the Sterno Inferno, Olimpus XTS, Optimus Weekend, and Widesea models. I'm leaning toward the Sterno due to it's size (0.5L), but the Widesea's also a good size (0.8L). One thing I don't like about any of these models are the lids and lack of cozies though (fixable, but not optimal). Anything better than what I've been looking at, or is that basically it?
I want the fastest possible set up so it's not unreasonable to whip up a cup of coffee while hiding from the rain.
