Hi all,
I would thank you for this discussion and help.
I made decision and got the final number close ~400-450 kw for heating including building losses and infiltration.
From various calculations and all kind of books, the best explanation I got from Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for...
Originally bins shall be completely enclosed inside storage building, that is why an idea was to create and keep a warm layer to heat bins and create “thermos” effect of keeping them warm.
Right now there is another option, to have bins partially enclosed (only lower part) and insulate upper...
"It wasn't perfectly clear whether you are attempting to warm up frozen ore, or simply trying to keep it from freezing"
My aim only to prevent ore to be frozen and stuck in lower part of storage bin by transferring heat thru uninsulated bin wall and warming internal layer of the wall preventing...
Hi,
Thank you guys for replaying even on weekends.
A few clarifications related to this task.
This is a new project, nothing is built yet, but client had previous bad experience of frozen ore in storage bins. It was quite a big problem in past, so this time we should avoid it.
The problem...
Hi all,
Thanks DVD for replaying.
Yes, its interesting problem when you do not need to provide answer and solution for a client quickly.
To answer your questions:
General idea is to create warm air layer inside storage building around bins to act as thermos to keep steel walls warm and prevent...
Hi guys,
Need your help to find the way to calculate amount of heat required to keep two uninsulated steel bins with surface of 790 m2 (8500 ft2) each from ice formation on internal wall. Bins are 19m (60’) high and diameter 14m (45’) located inside storage building which will be kept about...
