There are two types of burners for industrial steam boilers, depending on how they control the mixture of air and fuel at the key point in the boiler's operation, which is the generation of combustion.
A 10 tph boiler does not mean that the dead weight of the boiler is 10 tons. The ton of the 10 tph boiler is the heat load unit of the boiler, which is used in engineering, indicating that the rated evaporation capacity of the boiler is 10 t/h.
Steam boilers use a contained heat system to generate steam. The steam travels through pipes in the building’s walls where they emerge at radiators in heating systems. The radiators warm from the steam’s heat. As the steam gives off its heat, it condenses back to liquid water and returns to the tank. A boiler system of this type that does not allow outside water sources is a closed system and is highly efficient for using all the condensed water. An open network may be required in operations where the steam or water gets contaminated in such a way that it cannot return to the boiler for reuse.
When they reach a certain size, industrial steam boilers are installed in a boiler room which is necessary to ensure safety while they are operating as pressure equipment, in accordance with local regulations.
In the operation of gas-fired steam/hot water boiler, it need continuous water supply to ensure the water volume in the drum. Once water shortage occurs, it will cause the boiler dry burning problem, which will further result in the boiler failure and other problems.
Missing insulation reduces the system’s efficiency. Insulation helps hold heat in the system, and when the heat can dissipate, more fuel is needed to maintain proper temperature and pressure.
Since missing insulation may not be visible, the best way to detect it is with a thermal imager. If you don’t have a thermal imager as a part of your building’s operations, a plumber or other professional likely will carry one. If your energy costs have increased without a rise in the amount you use the boiler, suspect missing insulation and call to have the system inspected with a thermal imager.
The inlet gas pressure is different for different capacity boiler, for example, the pressure for 2 ton steam capacity boiler is about 8~10KPa, while for 4 ton steam capacity boiler is about 12~25KPa. You can tell us the boiler capacity you want, we will help you to get the gas inlet pressure.
The economizer is a heat exchanger equipment which utilizes heat recovery of flue gases to heat feedwater. It can increase boiler efficiency, reduce the temperature of flue gas and save the fuel by absorbing recovery of flue gases. Besides, the feedwater is heated through the economizer before it is supplied into steam drum to decrease the thermal stress of the steam drum wall caused by temperature difference, which can improve the operating conditions of steam drum and prolong the service life of the steam drum.
