Using artificially softened water in the heating circuit with your boiler can potentially cause issues and is not recommended.
Artificially softened water contains high levels of sodium ions, which can cause corrosion of the boiler and other components in the heating system. This corrosion can damage the boiler and other components, leading to leaks and reduced efficiency.
In addition, artificially softened water can cause problems with water pressure and flow rate, which can i...
Gas-fired boilers use gaseous flammable gases (including liquefied combustible gases) as fuel. These gaseous fuels have relatively higher calorific value and less pollutant emissions, and are gradually becoming popular among corporate users.
Drying the moisture in the fuel of a biomass-fired boiler is important to ensure efficient combustion and prevent issues such as fuel bridging, clumping, and poor boiler performance. Here are some methods that can be used to dry the moisture in biomass fuel:
1. Sun drying: This method involves spreading the biomass fuel, such as wood chips or sawdust, in a thin layer in a sunny, well-ventilated area. The sun's heat and wind will help to evaporate the moisture in the fuel.
2. Fo...
The water level of steam drum can reflect the condition between feedwater quantity and evaporation quantity of boiler. If the two parameters maintain a stable balance, the water level also remains unchanged; otherwise, the water level will rise or fall. Besides, there is also a false water level phenomenon. How do we understand the false water level?
Load tracking is an important feature of industrial boilers that helps to optimize their performance and efficiency. Load tracking refers to the ability of a boiler to adjust its output in response to changes in demand.
In an industrial setting, the demand for steam or hot water can vary significantly depending on factors such as production schedules, weather conditions, and other variables. Load tracking allows the boiler to adjust its output to match the changing demand, ensuring that...
Proper shutdown procedures are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a coal-fired steam boiler. The following steps should be followed when shutting down a coal-fired steam boiler:
1. Reduce the load: Before shutting down the boiler, the load should be reduced to its minimum level. This will help to prevent sudden drops in pressure and temperature, which could cause damage to the boiler and its components.
2. Shut off the fuel supply: The fuel supply to the boiler should be ...
High exhaust temperature in a biomass-fired boiler can be caused by several factors, including:
1. Insufficient air supply: If there is not enough air supplied to the combustion chamber, the fuel may not burn completely, resulting in high exhaust temperatures.
2. Excessive fuel supply: Excessive fuel supply can overload the boiler, causing incomplete combustion and high exhaust temperatures.
3. Improper combustion: Improper combustion can lead to incomplete fuel burning and high exhaust tempe...
A biomass-fired boiler furnace that has multiple issues such as wall cracks, deformation, coking, and tilt, loose bricks, tube wall blockage, burned-out rock wool sealing, and combustion chamber wall damage requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and potential safety hazards.
Firstly, it is recommended to shut down the boiler immediately to prevent any further damage and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. The boiler should not be restarted until all necessary repa...
