Economizer is one of steam boiler’s equipment which is used to heat feedwater before it is supplied into steam drum. Economizer is the heat exchanger equipment to increase boiler efficiency by absorbing heat recovery of flue gases. The lower temperature of flue gas out from stack, the heat loss will be less and the fuel which is needed to convert water into steam will be also less in certain circumstances. So it can be said that economizer can save the fuel efficiently. Economizer will make temperature of feedwater higher, so steam boiler can produce steam easily.
Steam carries about 540 Kcal/kg of useful energy whereas hot water and thermal fluid carry much less energy. Steam does not require a pump to transfer the energy. Generally, if the heating temperatures required are <100°C, then hot water can be used and if temperatures >180°C are needed then thermal fluid might be a better choice. For process temperatures between 100°C and 180°C steam is considered a viable option.
(Question details) Specific performance:The temperature difference between the inlet oil and the outlet oil temperature of the boiler exceeds the given value.Answer:Cause of failure:(1) The oil supply of the heat oil circulating pump is insufficient.(2) The boiler operates overload.(3) Thermal oil metamorphism.(4) The boiler does not match the heating equipment.(5) Bad insulation effect.(6) There is gas or steam in the thermal oil. Troubleshooting:(1) Remove the faults of oil pump and pipeline.(2) Operate at normal load.(3) Change new oil.(4) Choose proper boiler.(5) Check the insulation layer and repair the loopholes.(6) Remove air or steam. ZOZEN pays much attention to boiler furnace insulation also, the inside is made of high quality insulation material, external use of stainless steel plate, which can maximumly reduce heat loss and improve the operating environment.
