Radiation and convection losses will vary with boiler type, size, and operating pressure. The losses are typically considered constant in BTU/hr, but become a larger percentage loss as the firing rate decreases. Boiler design factors that also impact efficiencies of the boiler are heating surface, flue gas passes, and design of the boiler and burner package.
Boiler steam generation is a complex process that requires the synergy of various factors and conditions. Proper steam generation ensures efficiency, safety, and reliability. Here, we'll delve deep into the prerequisites for boiler steam generation and highlight how ZOZEN's experience and professionalism in industrial boilers cater to these needs.
1. Water Quality:Water is the lifeblood of any boiler system. The quality of water used in the boiler determines the efficiency and longevity of the ...
The primary air fan of the boiler consists of motor, impeller, casing, air inlet box, current collector, base, regulating control system, etc.
The working process of the primary air fan: Take the medium-speed coal mill and direct-fired pulverizing system as examples, the atmosphere enters the primary air fan and is divided into two paths after being boosted by the primary air fan. One path of the atmosphere enters the primary airpipe in front of the coal mill. The other path enters the air preh...
The installation contents of boiler body pipeline are as follows:
1) Connection between water supply console and economizer header;
2) Connection between economizer and inlet pipe from economizer outlet to drum;
3) Connection between the main pipe and branch pipe of the drum drop and each lower header of the water wall;
4) Connection of steam guide pipe between each water wall header and steam drum;
5) Connection of superheated steam pipe between outlet header of low-temperature superheater...
Three-pass steam boilers are so-called because the combustion gases that are produced inside them in the burner go round a circuit that has three parts before leaving it:
In the adjustment of boiler operation, on the basis of ensuring safe operation, economic operation must also be achieved to improve boiler efficiency. In general boiler units, the efficiency can basically reach more than 92%, and the total loss is less than 8%. The loss is: exhaust heat loss, generally 5-6%, followed by mechanical incomplete combustion heat loss is less than 1-1.5 %, heat loss and ash slag physical heat loss are about 1%. (Physical heat loss for high ash coal ash residue will be greater).
From the point of view of quantification of indicators, the key to improving boiler efficiency is to reduce smoke loss and heat loss due to incomplete combustion of machinery. Pay attention to the flue gas temperature changes. Excessive flue gas temperature will affect the efficiency of the boiler. Too low temperature may cause low-temperature corrosion of the air preheater. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the adjustment according to the load changes during operation. When t
Here load means, amount of steam drawn from the boiler. So when the load increases, the specific volume of the steam in the boiler increases reducing the pressure. This inturn demands for more feed water and more amount of fuel to be burnt. So, for any boiler there will be a feed water level control system put in place to measure the water level in drum. As and when the level of water in the drum reduces, the controller sends a signal to the feed water pump to start and stops when the desired water level is reached. This way the steam generation continues to maintain the desired pressure.
A water level sensor fail on a steam boiler is extremely dangerous. The low water cut of should be tested daily. If the sensor fails the boiler could turn all the water into steam, leaving the boiler dry. Without water in the boiler the flame from the burner would heat up the heating surface to extreme temperatures and would crack and damage the inside of the boiler. But that’s not the dangerous part. If water added to boiler while it is extremely hot. Once water touches the extremely hot heating service, water would immediately start to evaporate into steam. When water evaporates it expands 18x it’s original size. The boiler would explode from the sudden increase in pressure from the inside. Some in some cases, boilers that have exploded out of a building and have landed 100s of feet away.
