Boiler make-up water is an essential component in the operation of a boiler. It refers to the water that is added to the boiler to replace any water that has been lost due to leaks, blowdowns, or evaporation. However, not all water sources are suitable for use as make-up water for boilers.
The quality of the make-up water has a significant impact on the efficiency and lifespan of the boiler. Some of the main requirements for boiler make-up water include low levels of dissolved solids, low level...
Removal of metallic scale and corrosion products generally requires chemical cleaning. Acid or chelant cleaning procedures vary greatly depending on individual circumstances. Chemical cleaning can improve the boiler heat rate and reduce the number of tube failures. It typically improves the stability of boiler chemistry.
If the impurities in the boiler feedwater are not dealt with properly, carryover of boiler water into the steam system can occur.
Carryover can be caused by two factors:
Textile is one of the industries that cannot be separated from steam boilers. Whether it is dyeing or drying, boilers can speed up production smoothly. The oil-fired steam boiler is very suitable for textile mills. The oil-fired steam boilers produced by ZOZEN for textile mills mainly include SZS oil-fired steam boilers and WNS oil-fired steam boilers.
If the final temperature of feed water doesn’t reach the saturated temperature after being heated by an economizer, (that is, the feed water has not reached the boiling state), we call the economizer as a nonsteaming economizer. Generally, the final temperature is 30-50℃ lower than the saturated temperature.
The combustion air preheater is definitely one of heat exchanger applications. Based on Figure 1 below, flue gas simply leaves steam boiler and passes via air preheater. The combustion air is passed through this equipment too to increase its temperature before being combined with boiler fuel.
Because the temperature of combustion air is lower than the temperature of flue gas, combustion air receive heat transfer from flue gas through combustion air preheater in the process of convection heat transfer. The heat transfer make temperature of flue gas lower and consequently minimizes its heat loss and also decreases the air temperature to stack.
In a water tube steam boiler, unlike a fire tube, water circulates inside the tubes. The heat that is generated and the combustion gases that surround the tubes heat the water that circulates inside them. Many water-tube boilers operate according to the principle of natural water circulation.
The capacity of this type of boiler can be enhanced by increasing the number of tubes in the boiler.
In superheated industrial water boilers, the water is pressurized and boiled to 100°C producing steam. These boilers are pyrotubular, with a high volume of water and a large temperature exchange zone. The designs can adapt to temperatures and pressures according to needs.
