If the burner motor of a gas-fired boiler is not running, several issues could be at play. Diagnosing the problem involves checking various components and systems. Here are some common causes:
Electrical Issues: Check if there's an electrical supply to the motor. A tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or loose wiring could interrupt power supply to the motor.
Faulty Motor: The motor itself could be malfunctioning. Over time, motors can wear out or burn out due to electrical issues or mechanica...
Overheating in the combustion engine of a gas-fired boiler can be caused by several factors. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the boiler, as well as for ensuring safety. Here are some common causes of overheating in the combustion engine of a gas-fired boiler:
Insufficient Water Flow: If there isn't enough water flowing through the boiler, it can't absorb enough heat from the combustion process, leading to overheating. This cou...
Conduction oil, commonly known as hot oil or heat transfer fluid, is an integral component in a broad range of industrial applications that require the transfer of thermal energy. This specialized fluid functions as an intermediary that carries heat from one point to another within a closed-loop system, ensuring the even distribution of heat across various machinery and equipment. Often, these oils are utilized in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical plants, and manufacturing to...
Thermal fluid degradation or “burn-up” in a thermal fluid heater can be a significant issue that leads to the loss of fluid properties, system inefficiency, and potential equipment damage. Here are the common reasons why thermal heating fluid may degrade or burn up in your thermal fluid heater:
1. Overheating:
Exceeding the thermal fluid’s maximum recommended operating temperature can lead to ‘cracking’ or breaking down of the fluid. This may produce low molecular...
Volatile matter in fuel, particularly in solid fuels like coal or biomass, plays a crucial role in the combustion process within boilers. Understanding the effect of volatile matter can help optimize the boiler operation for better efficiency and emissions. Here are the impacts of volatile matter on boiler combustion:
Ignition and Combustion Stability: High volatile matter content aids in the easy ignition of the fuel. As volatile components release and ignite rapidly when the fuel is heated, t...
Gas-fired boilers use gaseous flammable gases (including liquefied combustible gases) as fuel. These gaseous fuels have relatively higher calorific value and less pollutant emissions, and are gradually becoming popular among corporate users.
Drying the moisture in the fuel of a biomass-fired boiler is important to ensure efficient combustion and prevent issues such as fuel bridging, clumping, and poor boiler performance. Here are some methods that can be used to dry the moisture in biomass fuel:
1. Sun drying: This method involves spreading the biomass fuel, such as wood chips or sawdust, in a thin layer in a sunny, well-ventilated area. The sun's heat and wind will help to evaporate the moisture in the fuel.
2. Fo...
If the electric current of the circulating pump in a thermal oil heater is lower than the normal value, it may indicate a problem with the pump or the system. Here are some potential causes and solutions:
1. Low fluid level: If the thermal oil level is low, the pump may not be able to circulate the oil properly, leading to lower current readings. Check the fluid level and add more oil if necessary.
2. Clogged filter: A clogged filter can restrict the flow of thermal oil, causing the pump to wo...
