2-1 Heating facilities, etc.
(1) Control of heating, cooling, and heat transfer
- For heaters, cooler, driers, heat exchangers and similar equipment using a heat medium such as steam, management standards shall be implemented on temperature, pressure, and quantity of the heat medium required for heating, cooling, and heat transfer (heating, etc.) and temperature, pressure, and quantity of heat medium supplied, and oversupply of heat by the heat medium shall be eliminated.
- For industrial furnaces used for purposes such as heating or heat treatment, management standards shall be implemented based on factors including the facilities structure, features of heated objects and processes before and after heating or heat treatment, etc., to increase thermal efficiency, and the heat pattern (defined as the mode of change corresponding to progression over time of the temperature of the heated object) shall be improved.
- In the case of facilities for heating, etc., control standards shall be established regarding the quantity of heated or cooled objects and their distribution in the furnace to avoid over/under load.
- Where multiple heating facilities, etc., are used, management standards shall be implemented to maximize thermal efficiency of facilities as a whole, and individual facility loads shall be adjusted.
- For processes involving repeated heating, management standards shall be implemented to minimize waits between processes.
- For heating facilities, etc. that can be operated intermittently, management standards shall be implemented to integrate operation.
- Feed water to boilers shall be quality-controlled as provided for in JIS B8223 Boiler Feed Water and Boiler Water Quality and other standards to prevent sludge, etc. and the buildup of scale on heat exchanger tubes.
- For heating facilities, etc., that use steam, steam feed valves shall be closed when not required.
- The dryness of steam used by heating facilities, etc., shall be maintaining appropriately.
- For other aspects of heating management, etc., management standards shall be implemented on matters related to the temperature of heated and cooled objects, temperature, pressure, and feed rate of the heating medium, such as steam, used for heating, etc.
