PASSIVE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER SYSTEM

A heat and mass transfer system configured to be a passive system using gravitational force to form a thin liquid film flow on an outer surface of a flow distribution head and downstream conduit member to subject the thin liquid film to heat transfer mediums. The at least partially spherical flow distribution head creates a uniform thin flow of liquid on the outer surface increasing the efficiency of the heat and mass transfer system. The heat and mass transfer system may include a heat transfer medium supply system in fluid communication with internal aspects of the downstream conduit such that a heat transfer medium flows within the downstream conduit while the liquid film flows on the outer surface of the downstream conduit. Rather than conventional sheet flow on inner surfaces of a conduit, the flow distribution head enables sheet flow to be formed on an outside surface of a component.

Method and apparatus for improving steam oxidation resistance of small diameter boiler tube in coal-fired boiler

This application relates to the technical field of coal-fired boilers, and provides a method and an apparatus for improving steam oxidation resistance of a small-diameter boiler tube in a coal-fired boiler. The method includes the following steps: cutting a boiler tube panel from a ceiling of the boiler, vertically hoisting and fixing the boiler tube panel, and cutting out a section from a bottom portion of a lower bend of the boiler tube panel; cleaning an inner tube wall of each tube body in the boiler tube panel; performing oxidation resistance coating sintering on the inner tube wall of each tube body in the boiler tube panel; and performing a welding repair on each tube body in a sintered boiler tube panel. All construction processes of this method can be completed in a furnace during shutdown and maintenance, production efficiency is high, and maintenance duration can be significantly reduced. In addition, a steam oxidation resistance layer can be formed on an inner wall of the small-diameter boiler tube, so that a steam oxidation resistance capability of a small-diameter boiler tube in a service coal-fired boiler can be greatly improved.
