If the circulating pump of a thermal oil heater stops working suddenly. Then, some measures should be taken immediately to remove the fire source. If not, the stop of circulating pump will cause coking in the oil tube, which will shorten the service life of the heater.
Loads vary, and a power plant must be capable of handling the minimum load, the maximum load, and any load variations. Boiler selection is often dictated by the variation in load demand, rather than by the total quantity of steam or hot water required. There are three basic types of load variations: seasonal, daily, and instantaneous.
System load is measured in either BTUs or tons of steam (at a specific pressure and temperature). It would be nearly impossible to size and select a boiler(s) without knowing the system load requirements. Knowing the requirements leads to the following information:
The boiler(s) capacity, taken from the maximum system load requirement.
The boiler(s) turndown, taken from the minimum system load requirement.
Conditions for maximum efficiency, taken from the average system load requirement.
Determining the total system load requires an understanding of the type(s) of load in the system. There are three types of loads: heating, process, and combination.
Condensing boilers can achieve up to 98% thermal efficiency, compared to 70%-80% with conventional designs (based on the higher heating value of fuels). Typical models offer efficiencies over 90% when the return water temperature is at 110 ºF or less; the lower the return water temperature, the higher the efficiency gain.
This is because, under normal circumstances, the exhaust temperature of the boiler cannot completely condense the water in the flue gas, and the difference between the low calorific value and the high calorific value is mainly in the part of the latent heat of vaporization, so the low heat is used. The value is calculated to reflect the true efficiency of the boiler. However, there will be some special circumstances. For example, if the boiler is a condensing boiler, the calculation of the condensed water portion should be calculated using the high calorific value.
In the case of a thermal oil heater in a high-temperature operation state, if it encounters an emergency situation of power failure, its correct treatment is:
When the circulating oil pump cannot operate normally due to power failure, the heat transfer oil in the furnace tube will exceed the allowable value in a short time due to the residual heat of the furnace. At this time, the cold oil switching valve should be opened to release the cold oil in the expansion tank. And sent to the oil storage tank. At the same time, wet coal pressure or emergency shutdown is required and needs to be completed within 5 minutes.
In addition, we need to pay attention to not to put the oil in the expansion tank clean, otherwise the system will inhale air and cause problems. An oil level mark can be made on the oil level of the oil storage tank. When the cold oil is replaced, the valve can be closed in time to avoid the expansion of the expansion tank and the oil storage tank.
Package boiler is a boiler that had been fabricated and available as a complete package. The entire pressure parts have been assembled in the workshop and ready to be sent to the field or site where power plant is located. On the field/site requires only connection and integration of course work in electrical connections, water pipes, steam pipes and fuel piping system to operate. Package boiler is one of classification of boiler based on erection. Design package boilers in general are the type of Fire Tube Boiler and have made up shell and tubes. This type has high heat transfer both radiation and convection.
ead below for our top three benefits to purchasing a low NOx heater for your facility.
They're Environmentally Friendly
When NO2 and NOx are released, they interact with other chemicals in the atmosphere that is harmful to the environment. The EPA has linked NOx emissions contributing to acid rain, smog, global warming, and smog. By using a low NOx heater, you greatly reduce NO2 pollution in the atmosphere.

They're Safer For Your Employees
According to the EPA, exposure to nitrogen oxides has been found to contribute to respiratory problems and diseases, like asthma. By installing a low NOx heater, you're potentially preventing damage to your employee's lungs.
They're More Efficient
As our low NOx heaters are built using a serpentine coil technology, they have space between the coil tubes which renders them 10 to 15% more efficient that hot oil heaters that feature helical coils.
