Evaporation phase occurs in water wall tubes. Evaporation is the process to convert water into steam. Therefore water wall tubes should be designed and constructed to provide high heat absorption, minimum excess air level and highest boiler efficiency. Construction of water wall tubes should be also constructed to prevent air leakage into steam boiler, eliminate amount of heat losses and permit high heat release and combustion rate in the furnace.
Construction of water wall tubes must provide high quality of the supporting component such as tubes, casing, refractory, lagging, tile, fin, and so on. Best construction will reduce heat loss and maintenance. Construction of water wall tubes can be classified into four types such as:
A fire tube steam boiler is a boiler where the combustion gases from the burner are channeled through tubes that are surrounded by the fluid to be heated. The boiler body is the pressure vessel and contains the fluid. In most cases, this fluid is water that will circulate for heating purposes or become steam for use in processing.
Each set of tubes through which the combustion gas passes, before making a turn, is considered a "step". Consequently, a three-step boiler will have three sets of pipes with the outlet located at the rear of 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.
Question details (Performance):1. The furnace wall at the coal economizer leaks water and steam with abnormal sound.2. The water level in the boiler drops sharply, and the water supply is obviously greater than the evaporation capacity.3. Smoke exhaust temperature and water outlet temperature rise.Answer: Fault reason:1. The water quality does not reach standard, and the oxygen in the water is decomposed into corroded pipe walls when the temperature rises.2. The low feed water temperature and smoke exhaust temperature make the inner and outer wall of the coal economizer pipe produce acid corrosion, or flying ash wear the pipe wall thin. 3. The pipe is blocked by impurities, causing overheating.4. Poor materials, defects in manufacturing, installation and maintenance. Troubleshooting:1. When economizer is slightly broke, it still maintains boiler operation, and the gap seems will not expand rapidly, in this case, load operation should be reduced, and start the spare boiler immediately,
