The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard that regulates the design and construction of boilers and pressure vessels.
The construction and working principle of the boiler economizer is simple. At the bottom part, it has a horizontal inlet pipe through which we feed water with normal temperature to the economizer. There is another horizontal pipe fitted at the top of the economizer.
A boiler economizer (also known as an economizer) are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy consumption or perform a useful function such as preheating a fluid. A boiler economizer is essentially a heat exchanger that makes a system more energy efficient by taking enthalpy in fluid streams that are hot, but not hot enough to be used in a boiler – hence recovering more useful enthalpy and improving the steam boiler’s efficiency.
The term Thermal Fluid does not refer to a specific fluid, there are many. There are also many companies that produce a variety of Thermal Fluids.
The most common Thermal Fluids are either Mineral Oil based or Synthetic Oils. The various manufacturers typically produce a series of fluids that each has a recommended operating temperature range. Close consideration should be given to this operating range in selecting a fluid.
There are other considerations as well, consult with f...
A condensing boiler can condense the water vapour in the flue gases and withstand the corrosive and acidic qualities of the flue gas condensate. Although most boilers can condense the flue gasses, only boilers that have heat exchangers constructed from materials able to withstand the corrosion should be used in condensing application. Condensing boilers with primary and secondary heat exchanger do not work well as they are not able to fully condense and defeat the purpose of using a condensing boiler. Also, boilers with this arrangement are prone to condensation in the primary heat exchanger at lower firing rate which can cause damage to the heat exchanger.
When determining how much space should be between steam boilers, serviceability should be at the top of your mind. Sure, you want to save space, but you also want to make sure you have plenty of elbow room to service your boiler properly.
One of the most crucial factors that will determine how you space your boiler units is whether your boiler system is being installed in a new construction facility or an existing building that is being retrofitted.
While a new construction giv...
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.
