In the process of the development of national economy, the importance of boilers is self-evident. The so-called boiler is a device that uses the heat energy released by fuel incineration to heat water or other media, so as to obtain steam, hot water or other media with specific parameters (temperature and pressure).
In the dairy industry, an efficient steam boiler is quite necessary to the dairy production process. The dairy steam boiler is critical milk processing equipment to transfer the raw milk to the high-quality of dairy products. Therefore, choosing a good dairy steam boiler is one of the most important decisions a dairy plant must make.
When you choose the dairy steam boiler, the first thing you shall pay attention to is the boiler shall meet the fluctuating load demands. Second, the boile...
EPA has promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants from three major source categories: Industrial boilers, commercial and institutional boilers, and process heaters. The final emission standards for control of mercury, hydrogen chloride, particulate matter (as a surrogate for non-mercury metals), and carbon monoxide (as a surrogate for organic hazardous emissions) from coal-fired, biomass-fired, and liquid-fired major source boilers are based on the maximum achievable control technology. In addition, all major source boilers and process heaters are subject to a work practice standard to periodically conduct tune-ups of the boiler or process heater.
Three-drum boilers are a class of water-tube boiler used to generate steam, typically to power ships. They are compact and of high evaporative power, factors that encourage this use. Other boiler designs may be more efficient, although bulkier, and so the three-drum pattern was rare as a land-based stationary boiler.
Agglomeration problem mainly occurs on the fireside in the fluidized bed boilers. Agglomeration is basically the ash-related problem of biomass-fired boilers. Ashes which are formed from high-sulfur and low-ash fuel agglomerate if they are prone to sulfating condition for long time.
Based on the different methods involved in ash deposit over the heating surface, two types of ash deposition are observed, i.e. slagging and the fouling. Boiler slagging and fouling are two main factors that adversely affect the efficiency of boilers.
We have briefly covered the fuel that is used for biomass heating already, but there are more details that will help you decide on which is best for you and your requirements. It is important to think about which biomass boiler fuel will work well for your home, as well as the logistics of sourcing your fuel on a regular basis. Let’s take a look at the main types of biomass fuel below:
A condensing boiler can condense the water vapour in the flue gases and withstand the corrosive and acidic qualities of the flue gas condensate. Although most boilers can condense the flue gasses, only boilers that have heat exchangers constructed from materials able to withstand the corrosion should be used in condensing application. Condensing boilers with primary and secondary heat exchanger do not work well as they are not able to fully condense and defeat the purpose of using a condensing boiler. Also, boilers with this arrangement are prone to condensation in the primary heat exchanger at lower firing rate which can cause damage to the heat exchanger.
