The coal-fired boiler has always been one of the important boiler types in the industrial production and its operating costs and capacity play an important role in the enterprise operation.
Controlling the temperature of a thermal oil heater during operation is crucial for several reasons, directly impacting the efficiency, safety, and lifespan of the system. Thermal oil heaters, also known as hot oil heaters, are used in various industrial processes for heating applications. They operate by circulating thermal oil through a closed loop, transferring heat to a desired location. Here's why temperature control is essential in these systems:
1. Ensuring Operational Efficiency:
Optim...
Black smoke in gas-fired boilers is typically an indication of incomplete combustion, where the fuel is not being burned efficiently. This can happen due to several reasons:
Poor Air-to-Fuel Ratio: The most common cause of black smoke is an improper balance between the air and fuel. Too much fuel or insufficient air leads to incomplete combustion, resulting in black smoke due to unburnt carbon particles.
Dirty or Clogged Burners: Over time, burners can become dirty or clogged, affecting the ef...
If the burner motor of a gas-fired boiler is not running, several issues could be at play. Diagnosing the problem involves checking various components and systems. Here are some common causes:
Electrical Issues: Check if there's an electrical supply to the motor. A tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or loose wiring could interrupt power supply to the motor.
Faulty Motor: The motor itself could be malfunctioning. Over time, motors can wear out or burn out due to electrical issues or mechanica...
Thermal fluid degradation or “burn-up” in a thermal fluid heater can be a significant issue that leads to the loss of fluid properties, system inefficiency, and potential equipment damage. Here are the common reasons why thermal heating fluid may degrade or burn up in your thermal fluid heater:
1. Overheating:
Exceeding the thermal fluid’s maximum recommended operating temperature can lead to ‘cracking’ or breaking down of the fluid. This may produce low molecular...
Choosing a thermal fluid (also known as a heat transfer fluid or HTF) for an industrial boiler application is a critical decision, as it directly impacts the safety, efficiency, and performance of your heating system. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help an industrial boiler buyer or manufacturer choose the right thermal fluid:
1. Operating Temperature Range:Determine the required operating temperature range of your application. Choose a thermal fluid that has a bulk temperature operating ...
Using artificially softened water in the heating circuit with your boiler can potentially cause issues and is not recommended.
Artificially softened water contains high levels of sodium ions, which can cause corrosion of the boiler and other components in the heating system. This corrosion can damage the boiler and other components, leading to leaks and reduced efficiency.
In addition, artificially softened water can cause problems with water pressure and flow rate, which can i...
If the electric current of the circulating pump in a thermal oil heater is lower than the normal value, it may indicate a problem with the pump or the system. Here are some potential causes and solutions:
1. Low fluid level: If the thermal oil level is low, the pump may not be able to circulate the oil properly, leading to lower current readings. Check the fluid level and add more oil if necessary.
2. Clogged filter: A clogged filter can restrict the flow of thermal oil, causing the pump to wo...
