Boiler controls provide an extra level of safety and reassurance: they allow you to understand your boiler's daily operations better, as well as perform the crucial duty of ensuring that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Regardless of what kind of industrial or commercial operation you run, here are some must-have boiler controls to get the most out of your equipment.
The main sectors in which industrial steam boilers are used are:
Food, in industrial bakeries or baby food (as an example)
Textile, in rotary dryers
Chemical, for reactors or storage
Pharmaceutical, for the manufacture of medicines
Cosmetics, for the production of perfumes and creams
Stationery and printing, in drying tunnels
The cement industry, for the manufacture of cement parts
Oil, for the storage and distribution of heavy oils
Wood, involved in the process of melanin production
Hospitals and hotels, especially in the laundry and kitchen areas
Automotive and surface treatment, for the final metal finishing.
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.
