Coal is one of the main fuels used by boilers, especially the coal-fired boiler. In order to reduce the production costs, we need to know whether the coal-fired boiler saves coal in operation.
Every customer is concerned about the service life of products he purchases. Extending the service life of thermal oil heater is helpful for reducing customer’s costs and increasing profits. Different existing thermal oil heaters on the market have different service years.
With the industrial innovation and the advance of science and technology, steam engine is replaced by gas-fired boiler that is a kind of more energy-saving heat production machine. There are three main usages of gas-fired boiler that we need to know in order to better understand the benefits that gas-fired boiler brings to us.
In the adjustment of boiler operation, on the basis of ensuring safe operation, economic operation must also be achieved to improve boiler efficiency. In general boiler units, the efficiency can basically reach more than 92%, and the total loss is less than 8%. The loss is: exhaust heat loss, generally 5-6%, followed by mechanical incomplete combustion heat loss is less than 1-1.5 %, heat loss and ash slag physical heat loss are about 1%. (Physical heat loss for high ash coal ash residue will be greater).
From the point of view of quantification of indicators, the key to improving boiler efficiency is to reduce smoke loss and heat loss due to incomplete combustion of machinery. Pay attention to the flue gas temperature changes. Excessive flue gas temperature will affect the efficiency of the boiler. Too low temperature may cause low-temperature corrosion of the air preheater. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the adjustment according to the load changes during operation. When t
Missing insulation reduces the system’s efficiency. Insulation helps hold heat in the system, and when the heat can dissipate, more fuel is needed to maintain proper temperature and pressure.
Since missing insulation may not be visible, the best way to detect it is with a thermal imager. If you don’t have a thermal imager as a part of your building’s operations, a plumber or other professional likely will carry one. If your energy costs have increased without a rise in the amount you use the boiler, suspect missing insulation and call to have the system inspected with a thermal imager.
Regular inspections can identify and correct faults in the safety systems that are designed to prevent accidents.
When it comes to regular maintenance, the cost of the inspections and repairs will be dramatically lower than the loss of time and profit from a broken boiler that requires replacing. Don’t let maintenance fall by the wayside. Schedule it at even intervals throughout the year.
The combustion air will be heated to the flame temperature. This heating cost money. If you have some waste heat to be used for preheating the combustion air it will pay.
Compared with the price of a traditional coal-fired boiler, the operation cost of a gas-fired boiler is relatively high. So, users need to consider the price and quality before purchasing a boiler. For a gas-fired boiler, the energy-saving performance is more important than the boiler price. One year is enough for a gas-fired boiler with good energy-saving performance to save the extra costs of the boiler proper. And, the gas consumption is an important indicator to measure the energy-saving performance of a boiler.
