Percussive sounds ("banging," "hammering," or "knocking") and vibrations in boiler drums or pipes are serious operational anomalies that demand immediate attention. At ZOZEN, we engineer our coal-fired boilers (like the SZL water-tube and DZL fire-tube series) to minimize these risks, but they can still arise due to operational or system issues. Here are the primary causes and ZOZEN's approach to mitigation:
Common Causes & ZOZEN Solutions:Water Hammer (Steam Condensation Shock):
Cause: Ra...
Question details (Performance):1. High temperature of motor, fast temperature rise.2. Overload, high outlet pressure and frequent safety valve open often.3. The vibration is intensified, the side vibration of the fan motor coupling is large, and the fan body never vibrates to vibration.4. No obvious vibration was found in no-load test of fan motor. Answer: Fault reason:Fan bearing vibration is common fault in the operation, the vibration of the fan will cause damage of bearing and blade, bolt looseness, chassis and wind damage, fan vibration rises abruptly in the operation. this is because when the gas enter impeller and the rotating blade working face has certain angle, according to the principle of fluid mechanics, gas from non-working face must be a spiral blade, so the dust particles in the gas will slowly sedimentation due to vortex. Airfoil blades are very easy to accumulate dust. When the accumulated ash reaches a certain weight, a part of the large amount of accumulated ash wi
Specific performance:Low level alarm of expansion tank.Answer：Cause of failure:The pipeline system (including heater) has not been replenished in time after oil leakage or degassing. Troubleshooting:Eliminate system defects and add oil.
A well designed and operated biomass boiler burning fuel within the specification of the boiler should not produce any smoke, but black smoke may be produced if the fuel is too wet for the boiler. All biomass boilers produce some oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particularly nitrogen dioxide (NO2). While NOx emissions from gas boilers have been reduced significantly in recent years through the use of low NOx burners which burn at a temperature slightly below that at which NOx forms, the nature of biomass combustion, and the need to ensure the complete combustion of wood gases, means that combustion takes place at a temperature where atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen can chemically combine. The better the quality of the combustion control system on a biomass boiler, the lower the NOx emissions will be. In general, biomass boilers produce less NOx than oil boilers. Biomass boilers do not produce any oxides of sulphur (SOx).
In the whole drying process, we should pay attention to gradually increasing the temperature instead of burning by raging fire; regularly checking boiler's water level and keeping it within the normal range; keeping the flame balanced in the furnace. In addition, we also should properly open the drainage valve and maintain the water level, regularly record the flue gas temperature to control the rise of temperature and high temperature and keep the temperature within the normal range. In general, under these conditions, boiler’s drying quality can be ensured.
Because coal fuel is expensive and coal combustion can cause serious environmental pollution, it is necessary to transform the coal-fired boiler into gas-fired boiler. However, the reconstruction of coal-fired boiler is not a small project. Only pay close attention to every phase of the reconstruction process can avoid failure.
Carrying out the exhaust work of a thermal oil heater smoothly is essential for maintaining the efficiency, safety, and longevity of the system. Proper exhaust management ensures that combustion gases are safely discharged, prevents back pressure, and maintains optimal combustion conditions. ZOZEN Boiler, with its extensive experience in designing and manufacturing industrial boilers and thermal oil heaters, employs a comprehensive approach to ensure efficient and safe exhaust systems. Here's ho...
