Different steam pressures correspond to different steam temperatures.
1. The steam temperature of low-pressure boiler is mostly saturation temperature or not higher than 400℃.
2. The outlet pressure of medium-pressure boiler is 3.8 ~ 5.4 MPa, and the commonly used steam temperature is 450℃.
3. The outlet pressure of sub-high pressure boiler is 5.4 ~ 9.8 MPa, and the common steam temperature is 540℃.
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).
Power boilers take the chemical energy stored in fuel, convert it to heat energy in the combustion process, and transfer that heat energy to water to produce steam. The transfer of energy from combustion gases to the water and steam is called heat transfer.
The chain grate is the combustion equipment of coal-fired steam boiler. There are three main types and structures: chain belt grate, scale grate and beam grate.
If the boiler gives overpressure indicator which affects boiler's safe operation, depressurization measures should be taken. However, please pay attention that depressurization can not be too fast. After the overpressure problem of steam boiler is solved, we should check the internal and external parts of boiler to ensure that everything is going well.
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.
Regular inspections can identify and correct faults in the safety systems that are designed to prevent accidents.
When it comes to regular maintenance, the cost of the inspections and repairs will be dramatically lower than the loss of time and profit from a broken boiler that requires replacing. Don’t let maintenance fall by the wayside. Schedule it at even intervals throughout the year.
