The fuel is necessary for the boiler operation. The fuel choice can also affect the overall boiler operating efficiency and the pollution emission of the boiler. What are the differences between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler?
The biomass-fired boiler is a kind of equipment that uses the combustion of renewable energy biomass to provide heat energy for the boiler. The biomass-fired boilers are widely used especially by the enterprises located in the areas with abundant biomass fuel.
What are the reasons for the low efficiency of dust collector of the biomass-fired boiler? They are nature of dust, quality of bag and velocity of filtering.
Some kinds of boilers have the problem of energy waste caused by heat loss in the process of steam transmission due to their special structures. To solve this problem, we should properly improve the steam transmission process.
First of all, we should consider the thermal insulation effect. The main function of a gas-fired boiler is to provide heat energy. Good surface packaging material can avoid heat loss and save the fuel. It is suggested to choose glass wool which has a good insulation effect.
Secondly, we should consider the boiler appearance. It is best to choose a white color plate package when buying a gas-fired boiler, which not only has a beautiful appearance but also has a good insulation effect.
Finally, we should consider the boiler size. Wrong boiler size will cause some unnecessary troubles.
Combustion efficiency is an indication of the burner’s ability to burn fuel. The amount of unburned fuel and excess air in the exhaust are used to assess a burner’s combustion efficiency. Burners resulting in low levels of unburned fuel while operating at low excess air levels are considered efficient. Well designed conventional burners firing gaseous and liquid fuels operate at excess air levels of 15% and result in negligible unburned fuel. Well designed ultra low emissions burners operate at a higher excess air level of 25% in order to reduce emissions to very low levels. By operating at the minimum excess air requirement, less heat from the combustion process is being used to heat excess combustion air, which increases the energy available for the load. Combustion efficiency is not the same for all fuels and, generally, gaseous and liquid fuels burn more efficiently than solid fuels.
In theory, to have the most efficient combustion in any combustion process, the quantity of fuel and air would be in a perfect ratio to provide perfect combustion with no unused fuel or air. This type of theoretical perfect combustion is called stoichiometric combustion. In practice, however, for safety and maintenance needs, additional air beyond the theoretical "perfect ratio" needs to be added to the combustion process - this is referred to as "excess air".
Circulating fluidized bed boiler is a specific type of boilers, and compared with the other boilers, it has certain advantages, which are: it has great improvement in combustion technology, which can improve the boiler combustion quality and combustion effect, and in turn, to improve the boiler effect. This is achieved because two return feeders are used in this type of boiler to allow the fuel to form a circulation loop between the furnace and the return feeder.
