Overheating in the combustion engine of a gas-fired boiler can be caused by several factors. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the boiler, as well as for ensuring safety. Here are some common causes of overheating in the combustion engine of a gas-fired boiler:
Insufficient Water Flow: If there isn't enough water flowing through the boiler, it can't absorb enough heat from the combustion process, leading to overheating. This cou...
The measurement data for the exhaust temperature of a gas boiler is typically taken at the flue gas outlet or the chimney outlet. This is where the combustion gases exit the boiler and are vented to the outside environment.
The temperature measurement is usually taken using a thermocouple or a temperature sensor mounted in the flue gas stream, either directly in the flue pipe or in a sampling probe inserted into the flue gas stream. The measurement should be taken at a point downstream ...
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.
The burner of natural gas boiler refers to the burner for gas-fired boiler. Gas burners are divided into natural gas burners, urban gas burners, LPG burners and methane burners. The burner of natural gas boiler is just one kind of burner.
In boilers, economizers are heat exchange devices that heat fluids, usually water, up to but not normally beyond the boiling point of that fluid. Economizers are so named because they can make use of the enthalpy in fluid streams that are hot, but not hot enough to be used in a boiler, thereby recovering more useful enthalpy and improving the boiler's efficiency. They are a device fitted to a boiler which saves energy by using the exhaust gases from the boiler to preheat the cold water used to fill it (the feed water).
Combustion is a process which needs constant air supply for its survival, but as we move up the earth i.e. at higher altitudes, things aren’t the same as they used to be at sea level. Due to decreased air density at higher altitude, it will consume the same volume of air but will not consume the same mass of air.
This results in less fuel consumption & less steam generation rate. Due to the reduction of mass flow of gases through tubes of a steam boiler, convective heat transf...
Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically), primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. Biogas is a renewable energy source.
Biogas is a byproduct of the decomposition of organic matter by anaerobic bacteria. Biogas is typically composed of 60% methane and 40% CO2...
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.
