The vertical type and horizontal type are the two main types of boiler. The vertical gas-fired boiler has small volume and is suitable for small workshops or small production enterprises. It is often used in the fields of hot water and heating. The horizontal gas-fired boiler has larger volume with a wider application range than the vertical gas-fired boiler.
Coal-fired boilers are applied in various industries for the industrial and civil uses to generate steam and hot water. The steam is mainly used for production and the hot water is mainly used for heating and daily use.
The steam boiler in the packaging plant is mainly used in the heating process before the raw paper is made into cardboard. In brief, it is using steam which contains no water in the drying process to improve the production efficiency and product quality of packaging cartons. As a result, it has high requirements for the steam and steam boiler, such as temperature, water content, rated evaporation capacity per unit time, etc., which are important parameters in the boiler selection.
A water level sensor fail on a steam boiler is extremely dangerous. The low water cut of should be tested daily. If the sensor fails the boiler could turn all the water into steam, leaving the boiler dry. Without water in the boiler the flame from the burner would heat up the heating surface to extreme temperatures and would crack and damage the inside of the boiler. But that’s not the dangerous part. If water added to boiler while it is extremely hot. Once water touches the extremely hot heating service, water would immediately start to evaporate into steam. When water evaporates it expands 18x it’s original size. The boiler would explode from the sudden increase in pressure from the inside. Some in some cases, boilers that have exploded out of a building and have landed 100s of feet away.
There are many opinions on the best way to clean a steam boiler. One of the oldest ways is to dissolve a pound of tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) and a pound of caustic soda (lye) in water and pour it into the boiler. Let it cook for a few hours and then drain the boiler. If you can't buy TSP in your town, try a commercial soap called MEX. It works well and will not damage the rubber gaskets found in some boilers. However, before you clean any boiler, check the manufacturer's instructions for their recommendations.
It could also say, how much heat is required to rais the water temperature from 60 ℃ to 90 ℃.
To calculate heat required follow below steps
Q= mCp dt
Where
m - water flow rate (kg/hr)
Cp- specific heat of water
dt- temperature differences ( 90–60)
You will get heat required in kcal/ hr.
dividing to Q by fuel GCV and system efficiency you will come to know how much fuel (either it is coal or oil) required to raise the temperature of water from 60 ℃ to 90℃.
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.
The function of high and low level alarms. Low-level alarms will draw attention to low boiler water level and, if required, shut down the boiler. High-level alarms protect plant and processes.
Where boilers are operated without constant supervision (which includes the majority of industrial boilers) low water level alarms are required to shut down the boiler in the event of a lack of water in the boiler. Low level may be caused by:
