This is because, under normal circumstances, the exhaust temperature of the boiler cannot completely condense the water in the flue gas, and the difference between the low calorific value and the high calorific value is mainly in the part of the latent heat of vaporization, so the low heat is used. The value is calculated to reflect the true efficiency of the boiler. However, there will be some special circumstances. For example, if the boiler is a condensing boiler, the calculation of the condensed water portion should be calculated using the high calorific value.
The combustion air preheater is definitely one of heat exchanger applications. Based on Figure 1 below, flue gas simply leaves steam boiler and passes via air preheater. The combustion air is passed through this equipment too to increase its temperature before being combined with boiler fuel.
Because the temperature of combustion air is lower than the temperature of flue gas, combustion air receive heat transfer from flue gas through combustion air preheater in the process of convection heat transfer. The heat transfer make temperature of flue gas lower and consequently minimizes its heat loss and also decreases the air temperature to stack.
Economizer is one of steam boiler’s equipment which is used to heat feedwater before it is supplied into steam drum. Economizer is the heat exchanger equipment to increase boiler efficiency by absorbing heat recovery of flue gases. The lower temperature of flue gas out from stack, the heat loss will be less and the fuel which is needed to convert water into steam will be also less in certain circumstances. So it can be said that economizer can save the fuel efficiently. Economizer will make temperature of feedwater higher, so steam boiler can produce steam easily.
Gas fired boiler is a boiler which uses gas as its fuel. Gas fired boiler consists of some important components such as flame ignition, gas metering system, air compressor, air piping, gas piping, burner nozzles, and the others. Combustion process of gas fired boiler should be maintained and operated properly to produce efficient combustion result.
All boilers, whether hot water or steam, depend on fuel to run. The heating process is initiated when the burner heats or evaporates the water inside it, which is ultimately transported via pipe systems. Hot water boilers rely on pumps to move the heat through the system, while steam boilers are transported with the pressure generated in the heating process. Eventually, cooled water or condensed steam is returned back through the pipes to the boiler system so that it can be heated once again. While the boiler is generating energy in the form of heat, flue gases, a byproduct of this process, are removed through a chimney system - which is why regulating the emissions of industrial boilers is taken very seriously.
There are a number of considerations to factor when determining the best boiler for your steam generation needs like operating pressure, steam pounds/hour output, demand fluctuation, general application requirments and total cost of ownership, etc.
Two primary boiler types, the firetube boiler and the watertube boiler, are essentially opposite in design. The firetube boiler passes combustion gas inside a series of tubes surrounded by water in a vessel to produce steam, while a watertube instead sends water through a series of tubes surrounded by combustion gas used to transfer heat energy and produce steam.
Nitrogen Oxides, commonly referred to as NOx, is a family of poisonous gases. These gases are best known for their role in air pollution, leading to occurrences of acid rain, smog, and the deterioration of the ozone layer.In short, NOx is harmful to the atmosphere and the environment and needs to be limited as much as possible.The problem is that NOx is quite common. It's created as a result of fuel burning at high temperatures. Cars, trucks, boats, and other kinds of vehicles emit NOx almost co...
The boiler gas consumption calculation need the following parameters: gas calorific value and boiler thermal efficiency.
Theoretically, the gas consumption of boiler = boiler thermal capacity ÷ (calorific value of gas x boiler thermal efficiency )
Take the 1 tph steam boiler as an example:
= 600,000 cal / (8500Kcal * 0.98) =72m3/h, the 1 tph boiler's gas consumption per hour is about 72 cubic meters.
