What causes rapid coke formation in vacuum unit fired heaters?
As tube metal temperatures increase, the heater firing must be reduced or TMT will progressively increase until the tube metallurgical temperature limit is reached. Then the heater must be shutdown to remove the coke. Rapid coke formation is caused by a combination of high oil film temperature, long oil residence time, and inherent oil stability.
How to know if your Ford Explorer has a heater problem?

The black one goes into the cab, the white one comes back out, and hooks to the actuator right there by the heater hoses. This is another repair, that has the plenum off, but shows where the black line finally ends. 56panelford and RexB like this.
