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...
There are several ways to estimate the thermal efficiency of gas-fired boilers:
1. Direct method: This method involves measuring the amount of fuel consumed and the amount of heat produced by the boiler. By comparing these two values, it is possible to calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler.
2. Indirect method: The indirect method involves measuring various parameters such as flue gas temperature, ambient air temperature, and fuel consumption, and then calculating the t...
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.
Boiler furnace is a three-dimensional space surrounded by furnace walls, which is used for burning fuel. The function of the boiler furnace is to ensure that fuel is burned out as much as possible, and to cool the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the furnace to the temperature allowed by the safe operation of the convection heating surface.
The gas-fired boiler is operated by an advanced combustion machine, equipped with automatic gas supply and ignition combustion system, and the gaseous fuel is easy to burn. Therefore, the gas-fired boilers need not be equipped with blower and induced draft fan components.
As an effective tool in the era of environmental protection, gas-fired boilers are favored by all walks of life and widely used in food, paper, building materials, wine, chemical industry and other industries. With the increasing use of gas-fired boilers, there are more and more problems.
Ash accumulation on the heating surface.
The scaling and ash deposition on the water-cooled wall of the furnace and the ash deposition of the superheater, convention tube bundles, economizer and preheater can increase the thermal resistance of the flue gas, weaken the heat transfer, lessen the cooling effect of the flue gas and increase the exhaust gas temperature of the gas-fired boiler.
Too high excess air coefficient.
Under normal circumstances, as the furnace outlet excess...
