If the following three conditions occur during the burning and flame out process of a gas-fired boiler, the furnace is likely to blow up.
1.The residual gas content in the furnace reaches the ignition limit at the start-up phase of the furnace.
2.The fuel content in the furnace reaches the ignition limit after several times failure of ignition.
3.The fuel is sprayed out because of the halfway extinction of the flame. And, the temperature of the furnace can not meet the spontaneous combustion condition of the sprayed fuel. However, the content of the sprayed fuel reaches the ignition limit.
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 coal-fired boiler refers to the boiler uses various types of coal as fuel and converts the heat of coal to steam or hot water.
There are generally two calculation methods of the circulating water volume of a coal-fired hot water boiler. One is to calculate the hourly water volume of one square meter and the other is to calculate the design parameter volume of every ton. As for the make-up water volume of this type of boiler, it is usually calculated as 1% to 3% of its total circulating water.
If the final temperature of feed water doesn’t reach the saturated temperature after being heated by an economizer, (that is, the feed water has not reached the boiling state), we call the economizer as a nonsteaming economizer. Generally, the final temperature is 30-50℃ lower than the saturated temperature.
The gas consumption of 10 tph gas-fired boiler is related to technical parameters.
Such as heating surface layout, heat preservation effect, heat loss, water capacity, etc. The calculation formula of gas consumption of 10 tph gas-fired boiler is as follows:
=10 tph gas-fired boiler output÷ thermal efficiency ÷calorific value of natural gas
= 6,000,000 kcal ÷ 0.98 ÷ 8,600 kcal / h = 712 m3
Therefore, the gas consumption of 10 tph gas-fired boiler is 712 m3/ h
The gas consumption of the above gas-fired boiler is calculated at full capacity. In practice, the gas consumption changes with the operation load and operation conditions. In addition, if thermal efficiency of the gas-fired boiler is different, the gas consumption is different, too. The higher thermal efficiency is, the lower gas consumption is.
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.
Fuel-to-steam efficiency is a measure of the overall efficiency of the boiler. It accounts for the effectiveness of the heat exchanger as well as the radiation and convection losses. It is an indication of the true boiler efficiency and should be the efficiency used in economic evaluations. As prescribed by the ASME Power Test Code, PTC 4.1, the fuel-to-steam efficiency of a boiler can be determined by two methods: the InputOutput Method and the Heat Loss Method.
A steam boiler plant must operate safely, with maximum combustion and heat transfer efficiency. To help achieve this and a long, low-maintenance life, the boiler water can be chemically treated.
The operating objectives for steam boiler plant include:
Safe operation.
Maximum combustion and heat transfer efficiency.
Minimum maintenance.
Long working life.
The quality of the water used to produce the steam in the boiler will have a profound effect on meeting these objectives.
