Compared with the price of a traditional coal-fired boiler, the operation cost of a gas-fired boiler is relatively high. So, users need to consider the price and quality before purchasing a boiler. For a gas-fired boiler, the energy-saving performance is more important than the boiler price. One year is enough for a gas-fired boiler with good energy-saving performance to save the extra costs of the boiler proper. And, the gas consumption is an important indicator to measure the energy-saving performance of a boiler.
1. If the stop valve of the oil circuit is closed or the feeding of oil is insufficient and the oil filter is blocked, it is necessary to check that the valve in the oil circuit is open, the oil filter works normally and clean the filter screen of the pump.
2. If the oil temperature is low, viscosity is too high or the temperature of the oil fed by pump is too high, the oil temperature needs to be increased or decreased.
3. If the the domestic sewage treatment equipment oil pump breaks down, the oil pump is required to be replaced.
4. If the bearing of fan motor is damaged, it is necessary to replace the motor or bearing.
5. If the fan impeller is too dirty, it is required to be cleaned.
The function of the burner is to send the fuel and air into the furnace constantly, organize the air flow of pulverized coal reasonably and mix them well for rapid and stable ignition and combustion.
The oil and air must be mixed for the combustion of the fuel droplets to take place. The combustion speed depends on the evaporation speed of oil droplets and the mixing speed of oil and air. The evaporation speed of oil droplets is related to the diameter and temperature of oil droplets. The smaller the fuel droplets, the higher the temperature and the faster the evaporation. On the other hand, it is conducive to mixing and combustion. The smaller the fuel droplets, the larger the air contract surface. Therefore, the fuel oil must be atomized before combustion. And, the oil can be heated and evaporated rapidly and fully burnt after it is injected to the furnace.
Fuel-to-steam efficiency is a measure of the overall efficiency of the boiler. It accounts for the effectiveness of the heat exchanger as well as the radiation and convection losses. It is an indication of the true boiler efficiency and should be the efficiency used in economic evaluations. As prescribed by the ASME Power Test Code, PTC 4.1, the fuel-to-steam efficiency of a boiler can be determined by two methods: the InputOutput Method and the Heat Loss Method.
A steam boiler plant must operate safely, with maximum combustion and heat transfer efficiency. To help achieve this and a long, low-maintenance life, the boiler water can be chemically treated.
The operating objectives for steam boiler plant include:
Safe operation.
Maximum combustion and heat transfer efficiency.
Minimum maintenance.
Long working life.
The quality of the water used to produce the steam in the boiler will have a profound effect on meeting these objectives.
Combustion efficiency is an indication of the burner’s ability to burn fuel. The amount of unburned fuel and excess air in the exhaust are used to assess a burner’s combustion efficiency. Burners resulting in low levels of unburned fuel while operating at low excess air levels are considered efficient. Well designed conventional burners firing gaseous and liquid fuels operate at excess air levels of 15% and result in negligible unburned fuel. Well designed ultra low emissions burners operate at a higher excess air level of 25% in order to reduce emissions to very low levels. By operating at the minimum excess air requirement, less heat from the combustion process is being used to heat excess combustion air, which increases the energy available for the load. Combustion efficiency is not the same for all fuels and, generally, gaseous and liquid fuels burn more efficiently than solid fuels.
System load is measured in either BTUs or tons of steam (at a specific pressure and temperature). It would be nearly impossible to size and select a boiler(s) without knowing the system load requirements. Knowing the requirements leads to the following information:
The boiler(s) capacity, taken from the maximum system load requirement.
The boiler(s) turndown, taken from the minimum system load requirement.
Conditions for maximum efficiency, taken from the average system load requirement.
Determining the total system load requires an understanding of the type(s) of load in the system. There are three types of loads: heating, process, and combination.
