A steam boiler is a water containing vessel which transfers heat generated by a fuel source into steam, which is then piped and directed to points where it could be used while running industrial equipment. The basic idea here is to convert water to steam using a source of heat.
Whether it's an industrial hot water boiler or an industrial steam boiler, they all depend on fuel to run. The process of heating is initiated as the burner heats or eventually evaporates the water inside of it. It's actually transported via intricate pipe systems.
Steam boilers transport through the pressure created by the process, while hot water boilers use pumps to move heat throughout the system. Eventually the condensed steam or cooled water returns back through the pipes to the boiler system, so the heating process can be initiated again.
As the boiler creates heat energy, a byproduct of the process — flue gases — are exited through a chimney system. Because of this, regulating the industrial boiler emissions is a very serious issue.
Oil Fired Boilers generally require Day Oil Tank to store oil and this oil is transported to a burner through oil piping and oil pump. On the other hand, High-Efficiency Gas Fired Boilers are exactly same as Oil Fired Boilers in construction and the only difference is the transportation of gas to burner requires gas train which comprises of the gas regulator that regulates pressure, the gas strainer to remover dirt from gas while no such valves are required in oil fired boilers.
To guarantee the successful and efficient shell boiler operation, the user must:
1)Know the conditions, environment, and demand characteristics of the plant, and accurately specify these conditions to the boiler manufacturer.
2)Provide a boiler house layout and installation that promotes good operation and maintenance.
3)Select the control systems that allow the boiler to operate safely and efficiently.
4)Select the control systems that will support the boiler in supplying dry steam to the plant at the required pressure(s) and flowrate(s).
5)Identify the fuel to be used and, if necessary, where and how the fuel reserve is to be safely stored.
Shell boilers may be defined as those boilers in which the heat transfer surfaces are all contained within a steel shell. Shell boilers may also be referred to as "fire tube" or "smoke tube" boilers because the products of combustion pass through the boiler tubes, which in turn transfer heat to the surrounding boiler water.
The efficiency of a coal-fired boiler depends on the loss of the boiler, the best efficiency in the boiler can be achieved if the losses are kept to the minimum. Since 50% of the losses are dependent on the fuel and ambient condition, the best efficiency can be achieved by properly tuning the other 50%, i.e. mainly carbon loss and dry gas loss.
As we all know, the stable operation of the natural gas boiler can significantly optimize the operation of the boiler, improve the efficiency of the boiler, and effectively reduce the operating cost of the boiler after effective maintenance. So, what factors will affect the stable operation of natural gas boilers?
Pickling is the main method for removing a large amount of oxidizing substances and corrosion products inside a gas boiler, and also has the effect of eliminating scale. The pickling process is usually carried out after 1-3 weeks of boiler operation.
