  • Why does the biomass-fired boiler smoke in operation? 2018-07-12
    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
  • What about the high failure rate of fuel delivery system of biomass-fired boiler? 2018-07-12
    Question details (Performance):There is no feeding machine between hopper and # 0A/B belt, which causes unstable feeding and feeding amount cannot be controlled, during running, big amount material presses on belts which affect normal operation of the belt.Answer: The cause of the problem: Because the toughness of the biomass fuel is bigger, the proportion is small, material level should not be too high, otherwise it will occur block, so conveying system is normally running 24 hours, moving parts are easy to wear and cause high failure rate; also the length of the cut grass is difficult to guarantee its length between 8 ~ 15cm, and it is easy to get stuck in the feed machine before the furnace and it is difficult to clean, which has a great impact on the load of the boiler. Troubleshooting: 1. To reduce wearing and expand the service life of equipment, general motor adopts variable frequency motor, slow down the running speed, to control the rate of fuel feeding, make material's stacki
  • How to deal with too much damage of the dust collecting cloth bag of the biomass-fired boiler? 2018-07-12
    Question details (Performance):Dust collecting cloth bag damages a lot. Answer: The cause of the problem: As the biomass-fired boiler fuel moisture is high, and bag material is general PPS, which will reduce the base fabric of the bag in the case of high temperature, high humidity, hydrolysis, oxidation, and cause damage; In addition, the fuel moisture is high and it cannot be completely burned in the furnace, so it burns in the dust collector, which is also an important reason for the damage of the cloth bag.Troubleshooting:(1) Design by full consideration of high fuel moisture, choosing the appropriate induced draft fan, if the existing design is not enough then consider change the induced draft fan.(2) If induced air volume is sufficient, a proper distribution of the first and second wind should be considered. Generally, the fuel with high moisture and light quality such as wood chips, straw and wheat straw hood, the secondary air volume should be increased. For bark, miscellaneous
  • What if combustion of biomass fuel boiler is not sufficient? 2018-07-12
    Question details (Specific performance):Biomass environmental protection and energy saving fuel made of straw and livestock etc., their combustion is not full. Answer: The cause of the problem:1. Air quantity is insufficient or too big.2. Outer flame position is not proper.Troubleshooting:1.Sufficient temperature: sufficient combustion of biomass boiler needs high temperature, combustion rate is proportional to the temperature, to raise the temperature as much as possible but guarantee there is no slagging.2. Proper air volume. If the air volume is too large, it will reduce the temperature of the furnace and increase the incomplete combustion of fuel. If the air volume is insufficient, the combustion efficiency will be reduced, and the waste of fuel will also increase the emission of smoke.3. Sufficient mixing of fuel and air. During the burning stage of biomass boilers, the sufficient mixing of air and fuel should be ensured and the disturbance should be strengthened during the burnin
  • How to solve the problem of coking in circulating fluidized bed boiler operation? 2018-07-12
    (Question Details) Specific Performance:(1) The bed temperature has risen sharply.(2) The oxygen level drops even to zero.(3) The current of the primary blower is reduced, and the wind pressure in the wind chamber is high and fluctuates.(4) The furnace negative pressure increases and the induced draft fan current decreases.(5) Difficulties in slagging.(6) If coking in low temperature, the bed temperature, bed pressure distribution is uneven, the deviation is too large, the bed pressure, the plenum pressure, the bed temperature is not normal, and the local bed temperature measurement point is not normally raised or lowered.(7) The bed pressure indicator value fluctuates little. Answer: causes of failure :(1) Improper operation, resulting in overheated bed temperature and coking.(2) The primary air volume during operation is kept too small, which is lower than the minimum fluidized air volume, so that the material can’t be well fluidized but piled up, the temperature field of the entire
  • Why the slag discharge tube of circulating fluidized bed boiler will be blocked? 2018-07-12
    (Details on the problem) Specific Performance:Slagging pipe blocks during operation of circulating fluidized bed boiler. Answer:cause of failure:(1) The internal shape is caused by the limited expansion of the wear-resistant material inside the slag discharge pipe. The internal components of the slag cooler are deformed, affecting the fluidization of the slag cooler; the slag cooler is deactivated for a long time or a single slag cooler is selected for slagging, and the bed material in the deactivated slag cooler is bonded under the influence of steam, which being low temperature coke.(2) The operating personnel did not grasp the ratio of the fluidized air volume of the slag cooler. Inappropriate air volume ratio resulted in poor ash slag fluidization in the slag cooler. Troubleshooting:(1) Operation personnel should strengthen understanding of boiler operating conditions, adjust boiler parameters in a timely manner, set up the concept of boiler material dynamic balance, control boiler
  • What is the reason for the failure of the coal economizer pipe of the coal-fired boiler? 2018-07-12
    Question details (Performance):1. The furnace wall at the coal economizer leaks water and steam with abnormal sound.2. The water level in the boiler drops sharply, and the water supply is obviously greater than the evaporation capacity.3. Smoke exhaust temperature and water outlet temperature rise.Answer: Fault reason:1. The water quality does not reach standard, and the oxygen in the water is decomposed into corroded pipe walls when the temperature rises.2. The low feed water temperature and smoke exhaust temperature make the inner and outer wall of the coal economizer pipe produce acid corrosion, or flying ash wear the pipe wall thin. 3. The pipe is blocked by impurities, causing overheating.4. Poor materials, defects in manufacturing, installation and maintenance. Troubleshooting:1. When economizer is slightly broke, it still maintains boiler operation, and the gap seems will not expand rapidly, in this case, load operation should be reduced, and start the spare boiler immediately,
