When the oil temperature rises to a certain temperature that the oil and gas molecules on the surface of the oil tend to saturate, can catch fire and maintain continuous combustion for a duration of not less than 5S. The temperature is called ignition point.
Four factors are related to the failure of the draft fan of the biomass-fired boiler. The factors are electric, electrical motors, dampers and induced draft fans. Therefore, if the draft fan breaks down, you can check the electric and electrical motor first, then you can check the damper and the induced fan.
Biomass-fired boilers need to be shut down for maintenance. Proper maintenance can reduce the damage to the boiler caused by continuous work. Firstly, it is necessary to cut off all power to prevent being struck by lightning. In addition, dust, limescale and carbon deposits should be cleaned up to prevent rust and corrosion of the boiler.
Maintenance of the burner: thoroughly clean the rotor plate, ignition device, filter, oil pump, motor and impeller system, and add lubricant to the connecting rod device of air valve. Retest the combustion condition.
Although biomass-fired boilers are environment-friendly boiler products, there are also some situations that biomass-fired boilers can’t be used. Main reasons as follows:
Fuel restrictions: The fuels that contain synthetic compounds can’t be used as the fuel of a biomass-fired boiler, such as waste wood furniture, waste paper, production and domestic waste.
The function of the burner is to send the fuel and air into the furnace constantly, organize the air flow of pulverized coal reasonably and mix them well for rapid and stable ignition and combustion.
The oil and air must be mixed for the combustion of the fuel droplets to take place. The combustion speed depends on the evaporation speed of oil droplets and the mixing speed of oil and air. The evaporation speed of oil droplets is related to the diameter and temperature of oil droplets. The smaller the fuel droplets, the higher the temperature and the faster the evaporation. On the other hand, it is conducive to mixing and combustion. The smaller the fuel droplets, the larger the air contract surface. Therefore, the fuel oil must be atomized before combustion. And, the oil can be heated and evaporated rapidly and fully burnt after it is injected to the furnace.
Firstly, the combustion of biomass fuel is easy to control. The fuel is easy to ignite. Besides, the combustion speed is faster than that of coal.
Secondly, the biomass-fired boiler can be ignited and extinguished at any time while the coal-fired boiler cannot. The biomass-fired boiler can also be ignited automatically.
Thirdly, the biomass-fired boiler can achieve zero emission of sulfur dioxide, which belongs to environment-friendly boilers.
