The action of starting up a fire tube boiler for the first time is already a cold start. As a result, the mechanical load in this type of boiler is much greater, as the main characteristic of cold starts is the absence of boiling water and greater stress on the connection and anchorage elements of the boiler.
To make this start a bit easier for the boiler, the boiler operator should reduce the burner load to a boiling point.
The primary objective of an industrial boiler is the generation of steam. Steam is generated by heat transfer at a constant pressure. The fluid, which is initially in a liquid state, is heated, produces a variation in its phase and becomes saturated vapour.
This saturated steam can then be used for different applications such as sterilization, fluid heating or electricity generation.
Industrial boilers are machines or engineering devices whose primary objective is the generation of steam. The heat that is generated, which can come from any energy source, causes it to be transformed into energy for use, either through a liquid phase medium or steam.
Water, which is the primary fluid inside the closed metal container of the industrial boiler, is heated to an atmospheric temperature and a pressure higher than the external one. Once the steam is generated, it advances through the pipes.
Steam boilers with a low NOx system are specially designed to minimize the environmental impact with the production of dry saturated steam. This type of boiler incorporates a stainless steel economizer with a cross flow integrated within the boiler and that, consequently, allows to reach maximum efficiency.In addition, it has a natural gas burner with low NOx emissions.
In superheated industrial water boilers, the water is pressurized and boiled to 100°C producing steam. These boilers are pyrotubular, with a high volume of water and a large temperature exchange zone. The designs can adapt to temperatures and pressures according to needs.
Biomass steam boilers recover the heat generated during the biomass combustion process to heat the water in the boiler exchanger circuit. The hot water is then diverted to the heating circuit.
Occasionally it is necessary to remove the ashes generated by biomass combustion and clean the burner.
