During the ignition and operation of the chamber combustion boiler fueled by pulverized coal, oil or combustible gas, improper operation can cause the deflagration or secondary combustion in the furnace or flue gas duct, which can further cause the increased pressure in the furnace. When the pressure reaches a certain value, the explosion-proof door is necessary to open automatically to protect the furnace wall of the boiler.
The heating load of an industrial boiler refers to the amount of energy required to generate a certain amount of heat in a specific period, usually measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour, kilowatts (kW), or megawatts (MW). Essentially, it's the amount of energy needed to heat the water or generate steam in the boiler for industrial processes or heating purposes.
Understanding the heating load is crucial for several reasons:
Boiler Sizing: Accurately determining the heating load is e...
A hybrid or combination boiler system refers to a heating system that combines two different types of heating technologies or fuels to optimize efficiency, performance, and cost-effectiveness. This system typically involves the integration of a traditional gas or oil boiler with a renewable energy source, such as a solar thermal system, a biomass boiler, or a heat pump. The idea is to harness the strengths of both systems to achieve greater energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

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...
Load tracking is an important feature of industrial boilers that helps to optimize their performance and efficiency. Load tracking refers to the ability of a boiler to adjust its output in response to changes in demand.
In an industrial setting, the demand for steam or hot water can vary significantly depending on factors such as production schedules, weather conditions, and other variables. Load tracking allows the boiler to adjust its output to match the changing demand, ensuring that...
An Interlock in the boiler’s control system is a programmed or hardwired condition that forces a device to be in a pre-determined or permissive state before the process can continue.
Depending on design pressure, fuel type, either liquid, gas or solid, all steam boiler require interlocks to sequence the operation and to prevent damage to the boiler. Examples of such devices are High or Low Boiler Drum Water Level, Low Boiler Feed Pump Pressure, High or Low Fuel pressure, High or Low Atomization pressure (oil fired), Proof of Ignition, Proof of Flame, FD and/or ID (solid fuel) Fan Motor Operation or combustion air pressure, Damper or Valve position and High Boiler Steam Pressure as well as O2 and furnace temperature.
Most petroleum products can be used as fuel, and boiler oil is a kind of refined oil, which is widely used in power plants and industrial boilers. Boiler oil is mainly made of petroleum cracking residue oil and straight-run residue oil, which is characterized by high viscosity and high content of non-hydrocarbon compounds, gum and asphaltene.
The formula of boiler oil mainly includes the following indicators: viscosity of the boiler oil, sulphur content, density, flash point, water content and ...
Reasonable arrangement of igniters in gas-fired boiler can not only obtain ideal ignition effect, but also save ignition fuel. However, due to the different types of fuel and burner, the igniter arrangement of gas boilers is different.
