As a kind of special equipment, the safe operation of industrial boilers is the key point that every enterprise may pay attention to. Today, let’s talk about the normal water level in boiler operation.
During the normal operation, the steam drum water level maintains 0mm, and the allowable fluctuation range is ±30mm, with the maximum not exceeding ±50mm.
1) The entire plant may be purchased as a complete package, only needing securing to basic foundations, and connecting to water, electricity, fuel and steam systems before commissioning. This means that installation costs are minimised.
2) This package arrangement also means that it is simple to relocate a packaged shell boiler.
3) A shell boiler contains a substantial amount of water at saturation temperature, and hence has a substantial amount of stored energy which can be called upon to cope with short term, rapidly applied loads.
*This can also be a disadvantage in that when the energy in the stored water is used, it may take some time before the reserve is built up again.
4)The construction of a shell boiler is generally straight forward, which means that maintenance is simple.
5)Shell boilers often have one furnace tube and burner. This means that control systems are fairly simple.
Although shell boilers may be designed and built to operate up to 27 bar, the majority operat
The safety valve of the boiler refers to the valve on the top of the boiler near the boiler control room. The function of the safety valve is to be opened automatically to exhaust the steam and restore the pressure when the boiler pressure exceeds the specified valve, so as to ensure the safety of boiler pressure-bearing components and steam turbines.
Coal-fired boilers are applied in various industries for the industrial and civil uses to generate steam and hot water. The steam is mainly used for production and the hot water is mainly used for heating and daily use.
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.
The explosion-proof door of the gas-fired boiler is opened or broken when the combustible gas explosion suddenly increases the pressure, it then releases high-pressure gas to reduce the damage to the gas-fired boiler body and also ensure
The function of the gas-fired boiler explosion-proof door is usually reflected when the gas-fired boiler is ignited or running due to improper operation. For instance, the furnace is not purged before ignition, the furnace is still not purged even the ignition cannot successfully be lit, the nozzle is leaking, the fuel is not completely burned, and extinguished failure to cut off fuel quickly, etc. all of them may cause the furnace and tail flue to explode. Installing explosion-proof door for gas-fired boiler is to release the pressure to avoid the accident from expanding and also to ensure the safety of the industrial steam boiler when a slight explosion occurs in the furnace or flue.
The coal-fired boiler refers to the boiler uses various types of coal as fuel and converts the heat of coal to steam or hot water.
There are generally two calculation methods of the circulating water volume of a coal-fired hot water boiler. One is to calculate the hourly water volume of one square meter and the other is to calculate the design parameter volume of every ton. As for the make-up water volume of this type of boiler, it is usually calculated as 1% to 3% of its total circulating water.
System load is measured in either BTUs or tons of steam (at a specific pressure and temperature). It would be nearly impossible to size and select a boiler(s) without knowing the system load requirements. Knowing the requirements leads to the following information:
The boiler(s) capacity, taken from the maximum system load requirement.
The boiler(s) turndown, taken from the minimum system load requirement.
Conditions for maximum efficiency, taken from the average system load requirement.
Determining the total system load requires an understanding of the type(s) of load in the system. There are three types of loads: heating, process, and combination.
