Biomass fuel can be applied to a biomass-fired boiler by treatment and compression molding. Commonly used are straw particles, rice husk particles, wood particles, sawdust particles, peanut rod particles, sugar aldehyde residue particles, palm shell particles and so on.
Coal-fired boilers refer to boilers that use various kinds of coals as fuel and convert the heat value of coals to steam or hot water.
Some specific parameters should be provided to calculate the theoretical coal consumption of a set of 20 tph coal-fired boiler. If the rated steam pressure is 1 MPa, the heat value of coal is 7000 kcal / kg, the boiler inlet water temperature is 20 ° C, and the boiler thermal efficiency is 80%, the daily coal consumption is 50-56 tons.
1. Sufficient furnace temperature: Sufficient fuel combustion of biomass-fired boilers firstly requires high furnace temperature. The temperature should meet the requirements of sufficient fuel combustion. Besides, the combustion speed is required to be proportional to the temperature. Moreover, the furnace temperature should be raised as much as possible on the premise that slag is not formed in the furnace.
1. The fuel volume is 1 / 30 ~ 40 of the raw material volume after molding;
2. The specific gravity is 10-15 times of the raw material, and the moisture content is between 12% and 18% (the moisture content of coal is below 10-15);
3. The net calorific value can reach 3500-4500 kcal (the net calorific value of class II bituminous coal is 3700-4700 kcal / kg);
4. The ash content is less than 10% (the ash content of coal is more than 20%);
5. Volatile matter ≥ 65.62% (volatile matter of class II bituminous coal≥20%).
6. Biomass fuel belongs to renewable clean energy, which is the same as wind energy and solar energy. The biomass fuel is rich in resources, it can ensure the sustainable use of energy.
7. The sulfur content and nitrogen content of biomass fuel are low, the amount of SOx and NOx generated in the combustion process is low.
Stack temperature is the temperature of the combustion gases (dry and water vapor) leaving the boiler. A well-designed boiler removes as much heat as possible from the combustion gases. Thus, lower stack temperature represents more effective heat transfer and lower heat loss up the stack. The stack temperature reflects the energy that did not transfer from the fuel to steam or hot water. Stack temperature is a visible indicator of boiler efficiency. Any time efficiency is guaranteed, predicted stack temperatures should be verified.
Stack loss is a measure of the amount of heat carried away by dry flue gases (unused heat) and the moisture loss (product of combustion), based on the fuel analysis of the specific fuel being used, moisture in the combustion air, etc.
There are so many options to weigh when looking for high efficiency boilers: hot water or steam, wetback or dryback, type of fuel, and more. However, there are a few key considerations to make when evaluating a new boiler for efficiency that will help you no matter what your other considerations may be. Look for a fan that can deliver a stable air supply, a burner and boiler unit that can produce low emissions, a design that maximizes flue gas velocity, smart pressure vessel design, and an efficient heating power to boiler surface ratio are just a few considerations to keep in mind. These simple but powerful design elements are hallmarks of solid construction and will add up to significant performance enhancements. Our team members are always available for consultation and can make specific recommendations when it comes to models once we know more about your needs.
Boilers are often distinguished by fuels that power them. The kind of fuel makes an essential difference in operating costs and environmental impact, so it’s important to learn about the various types of boiler fuel.
Coal, is a common boiler fuel. It dominates the global energy arena due to its abundance, affordability and wide distribution across the world. The most commonly used coal fuels include anthracite, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite and peat.
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.
