The coal-fired boiler uses coal as fuel. The consumption of coal is a key factor to measure the efficiency of boilers. Under the same condition, the coal-fired boiler with less coal consumption can save more costs for enterprises. However, the coal consumption of coal-fired boilers is related to many factors, such as the efficiency of the boiler, the calorific value of fuel coal and the degree of coal combustion.
The rated output of boiler refers to the maximum sustained output of industrial boiler under rated parameters (pressure and temperature) and certain efficiency. For steam boilers, the rated output is also called rated capacity, and the unit is t/h (tons/hour); For a hot water boiler, the rated output of the boiler is also called the rated thermal output, and its unit is MW.
Water treatment outside the boiler
Before entering the boiler, raw water is treated with water treatment equipment to remove impurities such as hardness, salinity, dissolved oxygen, etc., so that the feed water can meet the water quality requirements specified by steam boiler. Common water treatment equipment includes sodium ion exchange water softening equipment, ion exchange desalination equipment, reverse osmosis water purification equipment and thermal oxygen removal equipment.

There are many challenges and demands faced during the food processing, the choice of a steam boiler can make great difference in a company’s production. So, there are some tips for you to choose a steam boiler for a food processing facility.
In the operation of gas-fired steam/hot water boiler, it need continuous water supply to ensure the water volume in the drum. Once water shortage occurs, it will cause the boiler dry burning problem, which will further result in the boiler failure and other problems.
The biomass-fired steam boiler is used widely and the biomass belongs to the renewable energy with high thermal efficiency which can be applied by many production enterprises.
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.
