De-Aerator is a dome shaped device [called the mixing unit] fitted to the Feed Water Tank, having three Nozzles for Cold Make up Water, Recovered and recycled hot condensate and Flash Steam. It also has a top vent nozzle with automatic thermostatic vent. The three nozzles result in mixing of the three fluids, consequently heating the water and the Oxygen thus released is vented out from the top. A SS dip/Immersion tube with perforations attached to the De Aerator is led into the tank up to near to the tank bottom, releasing hot water through perforation from the bottom level of water helps the mixing of the heated water from the De Aerator Head and the water available in Feed water Tank, and supply hot water to boiler, saving Fuel costs, reducing O2 and avoiding Flashing and noise, and achieve higher levels of process efficiency.

Removal of Moisture becomes essential from gases and Steam as it cause of two phase flow, water hammer, damage to equipments, as well as it affects heat transfer, total heat carrying capacity of the fluid in case of steam.

Steam should be distributed at high pressure as it has low volume and impacts the inventory and its cost, At the same time it should be used at low pressure, as it has high latent heat at low pressure, Thus the function of lowering the pressure at the point of use is done by the PRS [Pressure Reducing Station]

To overcome stalling situation and to enhance the heat transfer efficiency, it is advised to install Uni Klingers Automatic Pumping Trap (UAPT). There are innumerable advantages of installing this device.

UKL APT is a device having the combined features of a conventional steam trap as well as a pump. In situation where the pressure of the condensate approaching APT is suitably high, then the delta pressure inside this APT will facilitate this device to perform as a mere conventional trap only.

However under stalling conditions where the delta pressure inside APT drops below 0.5 kg/cm2(g), this APT is automatically switched over to pumping mode. During this mode, the motive port opens up to allow motive steam to enter in APT resulting in to immediate pumping of the condensate at elevated place.

The Sight Glass is fitted in the pipeline to indicate if the fluid is flowing correctly in the line. These can therefore be used to indicate blocked or choked valves or Traps, strainers, pipelines or piping components which otherwise would lead to a decreased level of performance, plant efficiency and safety.The sight glasses would indicate if the traps are leaking or passing live steamvapors.A sight Flow Indicator is a device which is inserted in a run of pipe to observe the flow of fluid in the pipe. To enhance the visibility of the flow, protrusion is often incorporated body of its indicator, in the flow stream, so that fluid impinging on the same, cause turbulence, which indicates flow.

UKL Air Eliminators are meant to automatically remove air from Liquid lines.Air has to be removed because: air in liquid line cause of two phase flow, water hammering as well as prevents smooth flow of fluid or causes air locks.Air also acts as an oxidizing agent and causes corrosion and weakening leading to damage and leakage in pipes and related equipment. Solubility of air in water is high at low temp, but on heating solubility decreases, and release air from water and flows with water. Mainly this happens in cooling water circuit. Function of Air elimination can be achieved by a mechanical Float operated Trap, with just a position change of its Float assembly. This change in the float assembly position now holds back the liquid but allows Air to be vented out as against the normal Float trap holding steam and discharging condensate.

Leakage of costly fluids has been a major cause of concern to all industries.Apart from the monetary losses, such leaks are seen as damaging to the environment.

Valves and steam traps contribute to more than 90% of the fluid leaks. These leaks can either be across the seat causing process irregularities, or from the glands, bonnets and seals to the atmosphere. The damage caused is of substantially high value, especially for continuous-process industries.

The main contributors to this damage to environment is by:Safety Valve Leaks, Steam Trap Leaks, Control Valve Leaks

The UPPPU is a skid mounted Assembly. The receiver collects the condensate from various points. The condensate flows through a Uni directional Disc Check Valve (DCV) to the pump section. The Float assembly, inside the pump section, rises with the level of the condensate and at a predetermined level snaps a valve open to let in Steam, while simultaneously a vent valve gets closed. The steam pushes the condensate out through the outlet DCV which too is unidirectional leading the condensate out to the desired point. Once the pumping is done the level of condensate falls and the float drops down automatically closing the steam valve and opening the vent to vent out the accumulated steam and allow the fresh condensate to enter and begin the next cycle. This is a maintenance free pump, functions as long as there is condensate coming to the pump. Provided as a complete skid mounted unit, with valves, strainers, DCV, Condensate flow meter etc.

In these days of energy conservation hot condensate is too valuable to be lost as it contains more than 25% of heat used in creating steam. Also it is distilled water making excellent feed water for boilers. UKL Pressure Power Pumps are pumps which are used to pump condensate to the desired location and are cheaper to operate against electrically operated pumps which require special impellers to avoid risk of cavitations by condensate and temperature limits of condensate to be handled.

Under this arrangement Leak Tector is available

LeakTector is a portable gas or steam leak detector, designed for periodical survey of steam traps and valves. This ultrasound based leak detector detects abnormal vibrations on rotary machines, as well.

This ultrasound is captured and analyzed by the Leaktector microprocessor and finally shown its result on the LCD display, wrist mounted. The system is integrated by two components: probe and analyzer.

A novelty of LeakTector is its special verification function of thermodynamic steam traps, allowing the evaluation of the low energetic efficiency states (cycle too short) of this type of steam traps.

The concept of leak monitoring of valves and traps may be new to industries in India, but the losses and the financial impact is true universally.

The need of the hour is to cut down the stark losses and tighten the bottom line.

Uni Klinger team is committed to help take any lead to a meaningful end.

The Advantages of Hot Water vs. Steam for Jacketed Heating

In jacketed heating applications where processes require operating temperatures up to 350F [177Deg.C], steam and hot water serve as typical forms of heat transfer.

Currently, an increasing number of process engineers are switching from steam to hot water for heating jacketed reactors or vessels. There are several basic reasons for this trend:

• The temperature in the jacket can be controlled much more accurately with hot water than with steam. This higher degree of control protects against damage to or loss of product through overheating.
• Hot water ensures a better quality end product. This is particularly important in processes requiring very precise product temperature control.
• Hot water distributes heat more evenly than steam. This eliminates hot spots which often cause product to bake onto the walls of the vessel, and at worst, ruin the entire batch.
• In critical processes utilizing glass-lined reactors, steam can shock and damage the lining. Hot water allows smooth transitions from heating to cooling with no thermal shock.

Condensate when discharged from higher pressure to lower pressure, the difference in the sensible heats at the two pressures causes certain amount of Condensate to again convert to Steam known and referred to as Flash Steam. This is as good as dry steam, albeit at lower pressure, and can be utilized as such.This separation can be done by allowing the hot condensate to discharge into a vessel of a pre determined volume, to get the desired amount of condensate and Flash at a specific pressure. This vessel is known as a Flash vessel.

The Bi-Thermostatic Bimetallic steam traps, with corrosion resistant regulator. These Traps are unaffected by water hammer and superheated steam which having balanced pressure valve, independent seat and cone valve, and having a external adjustment device that can be used while the trap is functioning, for temperature and flow discharge. The trap also has an integral Y type Strainer.The most innovative of the bimetallic steam traps is the bi-thermostatic steam trap of balanced pressure that incorporates two antagonistic [Opposing] thermostats. The thermostat on top consists of various bimetallic plate pairs guided by the plugs stem, and the Lower thermostat is formed by one bimetallic sheet that leans and is guided in its edges by the body of the steam trap.

These are mechanical devices to observe the level of liquid in vessels. Based on principles of Liquid finding their own levels.UKL manufactures and supplies level gauges as complete assembly with Isolation Drain cocks and vent valves, Safety Ball check arrangement in case of Glass breakage, and original toughened Borosilicate Klinger Glasses and Gaskets.
