Using artificially softened water in the heating circuit with your boiler can potentially cause issues and is not recommended.
Artificially softened water contains high levels of sodium ions, which can cause corrosion of the boiler and other components in the heating system. This corrosion can damage the boiler and other components, leading to leaks and reduced efficiency.
In addition, artificially softened water can cause problems with water pressure and flow rate, which can i...
Proper shutdown procedures are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a coal-fired steam boiler. The following steps should be followed when shutting down a coal-fired steam boiler:
1. Reduce the load: Before shutting down the boiler, the load should be reduced to its minimum level. This will help to prevent sudden drops in pressure and temperature, which could cause damage to the boiler and its components.
2. Shut off the fuel supply: The fuel supply to the boiler should be ...
Oil-fired hot water boilers are hot water equipment that is widely used in industrial and civil fields. However, sometimes during use, oil-fired hot water boilers may emit a large amount of white smoke. What is the cause of this?
Firstly, the reason for the oil-fired hot water boiler emitting a large amount of white smoke may be incomplete combustion of the boiler. This may be due to insufficient oil supply, poor oil quality, excessive deposits inside the combustion chamber, and other i...
Thermic fluid heater boilers are widely used in a variety of industries because of their excellent performance and energy efficiency. They offer several benefits over traditional steam boilers, including better temperature control, easy operation, and low maintenance costs. Here are some frequently asked questions about thermic fluid heater boilers:
1, What is a thermic fluid heater boiler?
A thermic fluid heater boiler is a device that uses thermal oil or heat transfer oil to transfer heat fr...
Ash accumulation on the heating surface.
The scaling and ash deposition on the water-cooled wall of the furnace and the ash deposition of the superheater, convention tube bundles, economizer and preheater can increase the thermal resistance of the flue gas, weaken the heat transfer, lessen the cooling effect of the flue gas and increase the exhaust gas temperature of the gas-fired boiler.
Too high excess air coefficient.
Under normal circumstances, as the furnace outlet excess...
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...
A boiler economizer (also known as an economizer) are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy consumption or perform a useful function such as preheating a fluid. A boiler economizer is essentially a heat exchanger that makes a system more energy efficient by taking enthalpy in fluid streams that are hot, but not hot enough to be used in a boiler – hence recovering more useful enthalpy and improving the steam boiler’s efficiency.
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:
