Problem Statement:

Our purpose is to produce cooling effect by passing bleed steam or gas through turbine.
The bleed steam or gas will pass through a pipe to the turbine. To check the performance of
turbine we have to install a pressure sensor and temperature sensor at the entrance of the
turbine. For the purpose we are required to select the material of pipe, pressure sensor and
temperature sensor.
The estimated temperature and pressure ranges of the bleed are given:

 Temperature Range [150 0C – 200 0C]

 Pressure Range [1.5 bar – 2.0 bar]
 Mass Flow Rate [0.5 kg/s – 0.75 kg/s]
 Valve Angle [00 – 900]
 Humidity [0% - 100 %]

Selection of Material:
Stainless steel is selected because of the following reasons.
o Good resistance to corrosion.
o Feasible cost.
o High strength.
o Relatively bad thermal conductivity Good resistance to corrosion.
 o Can be used at high temperature at above 200 0C.

Copper and Titanium can’t be used because of the following reasons:

o Copper has very high thermal conductivity.
o Copper is more prone to corrosion.
o Both copper and titanium have high cost.
o It is difficult to machine on Titanium.

Pressure Sensor:
For measurement of pressure we will recommend “DS200P Sanitary Low Range Pressure
Gauge”. Measure vacuum, positive gauge and absolute pressures from 1 bar up to 40 bar with
this all in one electronic switch, gauge and sensor. Designed specifically for use in industry for
measuring pressure of vessel contents.

Product Parameters:
o Pressure Ranges: 100 mb up to 40 bar gauge or absolute.
o Accuracy: 0.35%FS standard with option for 0.25%FS IEC60770 (analogue output).
o Output Signals: 4-20mA 2 wire, 0-10V 3 wire and Adjustable 4-20mA 3 wire
o Pressure Connections: Sanitary clamp, dairy and BSP threaded screw fittings

Product Applications:
o Autoclaves
o Steam boiler
o Hot wax pump
o Chemical reactor vessels
o Food processes
o Brewing
o Pharmaceutical research & production

Temperature Sensor:
For measurement of temperature we will recommend “PT100 series” RTD Temperature
sensor.
Principle:
PT100 series thermal resistance temperature sensor develops based on the principle
that RTD changes with temperature, and presenting a certain functional relation.

Application:
Usually PT100 series RTD Temperature Sensors are matched with temperature
transmitter, display instrument and computer to directly measure the temperature of liquid,
gas and solid surface ranging from -200℃～500℃ during the production process.

Features:
o Anti-vibration
o Good stability and high accuracy.
o High anti-pressure ability.
o Graduation: PT100, PT1000 optional.
o Explosion-proof grade: ExiaⅡCT4(intrinsic safety type)
