The hot medium oil of the thermal oil heater should be tested regularly to measure and analyze the physical and chemical indicators such as the residual carbon, acid value, viscosity, flash point, melting point and so on, so as to know the quality changes in time and analyze the reasons for the changes. When the acid value exceeds 0.5mgKOH/g, the viscosity change reaches 15%, the flash point change reaches 20%, and the residual carbon (mass fraction) reaches 1.5%, it indicates that the performance of the hot medium oil has changed. Therefore, the user needs to regularly add the new heat carrier when using the hot medium oil to keep the residual carbon in the system stable.
The high heat transfer of the boiler requires good medium. With the improvement of boiler in the production technology and intelligenlization, gas-fired boilers have more strict requirements for boiler operation medium in order to improve the boiler operating performance, reduce boiler failures and costs.
Due to the development of boiler technology and relevant policies, gas-fired boilers using eco-friendly fuels are often applied for heating. For thermal power companies, cost is the most important issue.
The thermal oil heater, also called the organic heat carrier boiler, is a kind of once-through boiler developed based on the forced circulation design concept. With gas, oil or coal as the fuel and heat conducting oil as the medium, the thermal oil heater adopts the thermal oil pump to force the medium conducting the circulation in the liquid phase. The medium transfers the heat energy to the heating equipment and then returns to the furnace for being reheated. The thermal oil heater has the advantages of high-temperature and low-pressure heating and precise control of the medium.
The thermal oil heater, also called organic heat carrier boiler, provides heat energy for production by heating the heat medium oil. It can realize the high-temperature and low-pressure heating without constant water supply. What are the characteristics of the thermal oil heater?
From the perspective of atomization mode, there are three kinds of burner used by boiler that are rotating cup atomization burner, pressure atomization burner and medium atomization burner.
The thermal oil heater is a heater that uses heat medium oil as medium for heat transfer. The low-pressure and high-temperature heating can be realized by the utilization of the high-temperature characteristics of heat medium oil.If there is too much moisture in the low-temperature heat medium oil, there will be pressure fluctuations, which will cause some other problems. In addition, if the heat medium oil does not flow in the furnace owing to the stop of pump, the oil temperature will rise and exceed the limit value, which not will greatly affect the service life of the heater and cause the deterioration of the heat medium oil.
Generally, there is moisture in heat medium oil. And, the moisture will be evaporated during the heating process of the oil. If the water vapor is not discharged from the thermal oil heater, it will cause the fluctuation of heat medium oil pressure. However, the oil-gas separator can separate the water vapor from the heat medium oil and discharge it from the heater, which ensures the stable oil pressure.
