The pressure of the steam is directly related to its temperature. So process temperature will require steam used to be at a specified pressure. For example, a process requires that needs temperatures at 150°C will require steam delivered at 6 Kg/cm2 or higher.
Steam carries about 540 Kcal/kg of useful energy whereas hot water and thermal fluid carry much less energy. Steam does not require a pump to transfer the energy. Generally, if the heating temperatures required are <100°C, then hot water can be used and if temperatures >180°C are needed then thermal fluid might be a better choice. For process temperatures between 100°C and 180°C steam is considered a viable option.
All thermal fluids expand as they are heated. The amount of expansion is based on the operating temperature, system volume and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fluid. An expansion tank must be provided to accommodate the increased system volume at operating temperature.
NOTE: All fluids expand at a different rate.
The air in the economizer and condenser has not drained yet when firing. The safety valves of economizer and condenser need to be turned on to exhaust steam. Return pipe valves also need to be turned on, enabling the steam in the economizer and condenser to return to softened water tank.
The outlet water temperature is so high that economizer and condenser will have vaporization phenomenon. The outlet water temperature of economizer and condenser need to be controlled.
The check valve of the...
For the selection of heat fluid boilers, first step is to determine several parameters: thermal power in the process, the oil temperature, and the use of waste heat.There are several methods for determining the boiler's thermal power:1. Calculation. According to the specific heat capacity of the material to be heated, the heating temperature difference, the processing amount per unit time, etc., the thermal power is equal to the product of the above three points, and the calculation result considers a certain margin amount as the boiler capacity.2. The sum of thermal power in the process equipment can also be used as the basis for the heat power.3. Refer to the experience of the same industry to increase or decrease on the basis of peers.4. If steam heating is used, it can be converted into heat transfer oil of the same tonnage and the capacity is appropriately reduced.The determination of the temperature of the heat transfer oil can be determined according to the characteristics of th
(Question details) Specific performance:The temperature difference between the inlet oil and the outlet oil temperature of the boiler exceeds the given value.Answer：Cause of failure:(1) The oil supply of the heat oil circulating pump is insufficient.(2) The boiler operates overload.(3) Thermal oil metamorphism.(4) The boiler does not match the heating equipment.(5) Bad insulation effect.(6) There is gas or steam in the thermal oil. Troubleshooting:(1) Remove the faults of oil pump and pipeline.(2) Operate at normal load.(3) Change new oil.(4) Choose proper boiler.(5) Check the insulation layer and repair the loopholes.(6) Remove air or steam. ZOZEN pays much attention to boiler furnace insulation also, the inside is made of high quality insulation material, external use of stainless steel plate, which can maximumly reduce heat loss and improve the operating environment.
Question details (performance):Black smoke happens during operating. Answer: Fault reason:(1) Insufficient air volume, improper air distribution, low furnace temperature: boiler usually equipped with air preheater, but when the air preheater has leakage, hot air flow doesn't satisfy the need of burning, smoke will happen.(2) In the case of stalling situation in full automatic oil-fired boiler: significant increase of furnace negative pressure, no flame can be seen from the inspection hole, steam pressure and steam temperature drop, the steam flow decreases sharply. The water level drops suddenly and then rises sharply.(3) Incomplete fuel burning: this is the main cause of boiler smoke, in the operation, some combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane will be generated in addition to carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, water vapor and oxygen, nitrogen, etc. during incomplete combustion. They burn and generate black smoke. Incomplete combustion of fuel will not only lead t
(Question Details) Specific Performance:The pipe of superheater bursts in circulating fluidized bed boiler operation.The bed pressure indicator fluctuates little. Answer: causes of failure:(1) Design Factors.(2) Manufacturing process, installation and maintenance quality.(3) The temperature control device is unreasonable or does not work properly.(4) Effect of operating conditions on overheating and explosion of superheater. Troubleshooting:(1) Report the fact to operator on duty and require operating the boiler in low load.(2) When the overheat damage is serious,please report it to operator on duty and require stoping the boiler immediately to prevent blowout of the near pipes.(3) Adjust the steam temperature as much as possible within the normal range.(4) If the superheater tube is not damaged badly, it has little effect on the temperature level of the steam, and it can be allowed to run in a low load range for a short period of time.
