Power boilers take the chemical energy stored in fuel, convert it to heat energy in the combustion process, and transfer that heat energy to water to produce steam. The transfer of energy from combustion gases to the water and steam is called heat transfer.
A steam generator is a mechanical equipment that uses the heat energy of fuel or other energy resources to heat water into hot water or steam. It belongs to small equipment and is a kind of steam boiler. According to Boiler Safety Technical Inspection Regulations, a boiler whose water volume exceeds 30 litres belongs to pressure container, national special equipment. There is no need of water storage in the internal structure of modular steam generator concurrent pipeline and the water volume is...
The key difference between vapor and steam is that vapor is a generally used term while steam is the technical and specific term. A shared attribute between vapor and steam is the point of origin or how it is formed. Steam and other kinds of vapor are often made by evaporation or with other means or application of heat.
A cornertube boiler is a type of natural circulation water-tube boiler which differentiates itself from other water tube boilers by its characteristic water-steam cycle and a pre-separation of heated steam from the steam-water mixture occurs outside the drum and the unheated downcomers.
There are many challenges and demands faced during the food processing, the choice of a steam boiler can make great difference in a company’s production. So, there are some tips for you to choose a steam boiler for a food processing facility.
Industrial food boilers generate steam or hot water to process, cook, or sanitize food products including meat, fruits, and vegetables. Nearly every aspect of our food supply chain to grocery stores and restaurants involves steam or hot water produced by a boiler in one way or another.
Industrial heat exchangers come in a variety of sizes and styles, including:
Double pipe heat exchangers are the simplest exchangers used in industries. On one hand, these heat exchangers are cheap for both design and maintenance, making them a good choice for small industries. On the other hand, their low efficiency coupled with the high space occupied in large scales, has led modern industries to use more efficient heat exchangers like shell and tube or plate.
Shell-and-tube heat exchanger...
As we all know, energy efficiency is important. If you’re a plant manager or industrial facility owner, there may be one place where you’re overlooking efficiency: the industrial heating equipment that powers your facility.
Efficiency is especially important on a large scale and manufacturing and production operations are no exception. Here are two key reasons why you may want to consider upgrading your industrial heating equipment or installing a new, highly efficient therm...
