Black smoke in gas-fired boilers is typically an indication of incomplete combustion, where the fuel is not being burned efficiently. This can happen due to several reasons:
Poor Air-to-Fuel Ratio: The most common cause of black smoke is an improper balance between the air and fuel. Too much fuel or insufficient air leads to incomplete combustion, resulting in black smoke due to unburnt carbon particles.
Dirty or Clogged Burners: Over time, burners can become dirty or clogged, affecting the ef...
The type and parameters of coal-fired boilers are the direct factors affecting the cost of a small coal-fired boiler. For example, rated capacity, rated steam pressure, rated steam temperature, feed water temperature, etc. With different parameters, the more requirements, the higher the price.
People assume that owning a biomass boiler is no different from owning its less environmentally friendly cousins, the oil and gas boilers. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it is this very misconception which leads to abuse and neglect of the maintenance that a biomass boiler needs, if it is to retain its environmental and economic saving potential. This is especially true given the tendency of many installers to skimp on providing the proper support services and education to their customers.
The dual-fuel boilers usually burn oil and gas fuel which can be natural gas fuel or artificial gas fuel such as natural gas or diesel. The field-assembled dual-fuel boilers also burn the heavy oil or light oil. This type of boiler can make enterprises select the fuel more flexibly and minimize the boiler operating and production costs for enterprises.
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.
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.
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.
1. Sufficient furnace temperature: Sufficient fuel combustion of biomass-fired boilers firstly requires high furnace temperature. The temperature should meet the requirements of sufficient fuel combustion. Besides, the combustion speed is required to be proportional to the temperature. Moreover, the furnace temperature should be raised as much as possible on the premise that slag is not formed in the furnace.
