The quality of boiler feedwater is an important determinant of safe boiler operations and it should be monitored to maintain the quality within safe working limits. Boiler feedwater is treated to protect the boiler from two basic problems: the buildup of solid deposits on the interior or water side of the tubes, and corrosion.
The flue gas first enters the cyclone dust collector which acts as a primary dust collector to make the large dust particles in the flue gas settle down. The cyclone dust collector is a dust removal device which uses the centrifugal force generated by the cyclone flow to separate the dust particles from the air flow. Afterwards, the flue gas enters the wet scrubber dust collector which is a circular-type cylinder. The circulating water enters the dust collector from the upper overflow tank to form a uniform water film on the inner wall of the dust collector. The flue gas is induced tangentially or spirally from the lower part of the cylinder and rotates in the cylinder. Under the influence of the centrifugal force, the dust particles are separated from the flue gas and then the flue gas is also spirally led out from the top of the cylinder. The dust particles are thrown to the water film, transferred to the bottom and finally discharged from the dust port.
The thermal oil heater, also called organic heat carrier boiler, provides heat energy for production by heating the heat medium oil. It can realize the high-temperature and low-pressure heating without constant water supply. What are the characteristics of the thermal oil heater?
Coal-fired boilers are applied in various industries for the industrial and civil uses to generate steam and hot water. The steam is mainly used for production and the hot water is mainly used for heating and daily use.
There are many applications of hot water boilers. With the environmental protection requirements become stricter, the hot water boilers are mostly gas-fired. Therefore, it is important to know how to use the gas-fired hot water boilers safely and what are the maintenance methods.
1) Set up the air preheater. One of the most effective measures to improve the thermal efficiency of thermal oil heater is to use an air preheater for heat recovery. 2) Use waste heat boiler for heat recovery. The waste heat boiler uses the waste heat in the flue gas exhausted from the thermal oil heater to heat water or generate steam.
Here load means, amount of steam drawn from the boiler. So when the load increases, the specific volume of the steam in the boiler increases reducing the pressure. This inturn demands for more feed water and more amount of fuel to be burnt. So, for any boiler there will be a feed water level control system put in place to measure the water level in drum. As and when the level of water in the drum reduces, the controller sends a signal to the feed water pump to start and stops when the desired water level is reached. This way the steam generation continues to maintain the desired pressure.
Normally a boiler is provided with two independent sensors for emergency low water level burner cut-outs. So this would never happen. However, if it does, don't take any chances! Shut off the burners immediately!
Before you start raising the level in the boiler you have to find out if any part of the furnace walls has been overheated. If you raise the level over a glowing steel-wall then the boiler might produce more steam than the safety valves can handle and a nasty explosion would be the result.
