Pressure Maintaining System

home Product Pressure Maintaining System
Uses and Principles
In this system, functioning as an expansion tank and as a pressure maintaining system to prevent water flushing in the primary heat source piping system (which is for co-generation system or district cooling and heating system CES sectional collective energy included), the tank enclosing the water is filled with 99.9% of N2 gas, which is generated in the self N2 generator of the system, and is kept at low pressure to reduce N2 solubility. Also, in case of inflow of expanded water, motor valve(electric) as well as 1st pressure maintaining valve(mechanic) are opened depending on the pressure sensed, and in case of a contraction(return of expansion water), pump and motor valve(electric) and 2nd pressure maintaining valve(pressure reducing valve) keep the system safe against possible power failure.
Features
Pressure Maintaining System · Working Temperature : 120℃ (non-diaphragm, 99.9% N2 gas filled)

Applications
· Combined heat and power plant, Heat only boiler, Advanced district type community energy system, District heating & Cooling system and new restoration Energy Supply System, etc
Need for community energy supply
· Economic benefit : approximately 20-30% less cost annually than individual heating and enhanced heating efficiency (35% for generation, 85% with combined heating and cooling system)
· Environmental benefit : integrated system makes it applicable to high-tech anti-pollution facilities and energy saving improves air quality
· Safety : generating heat and electricity by section reduces risk factors at a national level (prevents blackouts)
· Convenience : stable indoor heating and hot water are available 24 hours a day and expanded living space by reducing individual boiler rooms

Prevention of
flushing
With the system design temp 120℃,
evaporation is likely in pipeline, and
in the event of evaporation, circulation
is impossible (heating is impossible,
leading to customer complaints)
Pressurization included with the proper
pressurization system in the pipeline.
Having includes evaporation prevention
stabilization feature
Expansion control Opening/closing electronic valve or pressure difference Three-stage safety device used
1. Electric type: pump+2 units of motor valve
2. Mechanical type: Primary pressure relief
valve (in case of blackout, breakdown)
3. Emergency control available
Return control Pump or pressure difference Three-stage safety device used
1. Electric type: pump and 2 units of motor valve
2. Mechanical type: PRV
(in case of blackout, breakdown)
3. Emergency control available
4. Others: Thermal Relief Line Installation
(to protect pump)
Blackout Counter
measure
Expansion allowance impossible
Water hammer by pump trip during
blackout causes evaporation in low
pressure section of the pipeline,
making circulation impossible.
Expansion allowence: electric + mechanical S/B available
Water hammer prevention system in case of
blackout(tank pressurization type)
Auto 1. Minimally functioning auto controller 1. PLC+touch screen+remote control+BAS

2. Emergency control available
(workable in case of breakdown of auto
control system)

Unable to respond on its own Actively copes with variable water control
system to reduce energy loss in both the
heat load and the power plant

In case of using standard model of
district heating system
> Daily N² gas use
> One time of 25% of maximum expansion 0.5K 60³=1K, 30Nm³/day
In case of using N₂ bomb
(gas bomb replaceable type)
> 30Nm³/day x 30days/month x 12months = 10,800m³/year
> 2,500won/m³ x 10,800m³/year = 27,000,000won/year
> 10-year LCC:27,000,000won/year x1.1(maintenance cost)=297,000,000won
In case of using
N₂gas generator
> Initial investment: 40,000,000won(depreciation for 10 years)
> Electricity bill: {3.75hrx5kW/hx30days12monthsx65won/kW}x10year=4,387,500won
> 10-year L.C.C:(40,000,000+438,750)x1.1(maintenance cost)=44,482,700won
Economic profits > Return on investment period: 44.5/29.7=1.49yrs(1.5yrs)
> 10-year return on investment: 252,804,800won
Safety > Runs at a low pressure, thus not subject to the law related to handling high pressure gas
> The N² generator minimizes its driving power, which makes it semi permanent.
