Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-generated harmful factors
If selective catalyst reduction technology is applied to simple cycle turbine exhaust, then nitrogen oxide emissions can be reduced, but substantial construction activities and skilled labor are required which make the system unsuitable for remote locations
Solution Approach 1:
The SCR system is divided into separate modular components (catalyst assembly, ammonia injection system, tempering air system, exhaust duct) that can be transported independently and assembled quickly at the remote location, eliminating the need for substantial construction activities
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to be mobile rather than fixed, with components mounted on transportable structures that can be delivered by conventional transport methods and quickly deployed, providing adaptability to remote locations with limited construction resources
2Object-generated harmful factors
If selective catalyst reduction system is assembled at remote location, then emissions control can be implemented, but limited skilled labor availability increases construction time and expense
Solution Approach 1:
All system components are pre-assembled, pre-tested, and pre-mounted on transportable structures at the manufacturing location before shipment, so that minimal assembly work is required at the remote location, significantly reducing construction time and skilled labor requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into transportable modules that can be assembled in a simplified sequence at the remote location, reducing the complexity and time of on-site construction activities
3Object-generated harmful factors
If ammonia reagent delivery system and catalyst layers are installed, then nitrogen oxide conversion can occur, but the system becomes unsuitable for transport to remote locations
Solution Approach 1:
The catalyst assembly and ammonia delivery system are separated into discrete, transportable units that can be moved by conventional transport methods to remote locations and then assembled together, maintaining both transportability and functional integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a fixed installation to a mobile configuration, with all components designed for transport and quick deployment, enabling adaptability to various remote locations while maintaining full functional capability
