Previously, the editor of our Xinin Boiler has reminded everyone that the use of thermal oil boilers must be in strict accordance with the operation specifications. If any abnormalities are found during the actual operation of the thermal oil boilers, a warranty claim must be made and the operation must be suspended. The editor of our Xinin Boiler has specially searched the Internet for cases related to accidents that are prone to occur with thermal oil boilers to share with everyone. We hope that everyone can be more cautious during the operation of thermal oil boilers in the future to avoid accidents.
The case we found occurred in July 2009. Two people died immediately in the explosion of the thermal oil boiler at Tangshan Koppers Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd.
It is reported that at around 40 minutes on July 27, 2009, an explosion occurred during the maintenance of the thermal oil boiler section of Tangshan Koppers Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd. Workers Yuan Lijian and Ji Xiaohu fell from the top of the furnace. Both died after failed rescue in the hospital.
Let’s take a look at the cause analysis of the accident at that time: It was caused by improper use and operation of the thermal oil boiler.
Why does the thermal oil boiler need to operate normally while being maintained. The thermal oil boiler must be maintained in the state of the furnace being shut down. Everyone knows that the thermal oil boiler belongs to the pressure-bearing boiler in industrial boilers and is included in the category of special equipment. The pressure of the thermal oil boiler is very high, and the operating temperature is also very high. Therefore, when maintaining the thermal oil boiler, it must be done in the state of the furnace being shut down. Some enterprises ignore laws and regulations. In order to save costs and not affect the benefits of the enterprise, it is necessary to abandon the private maintenance of the thermal oil boiler while it is operating normally. It is believed that Tangshan Koppers Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd. has also learned a lesson from this accident.
In fact, this accident could have been completely avoided, but the bloody lesson has already been caused. I hope that everyone must pay attention during the maintenance of the thermal oil boiler in the future. Shut down the furnace for maintenance.
