Water treatment outside the boiler
Before entering the boiler, raw water is treated with water treatment equipment to remove impurities such as hardness, salinity, dissolved oxygen, etc., so that the feed water can meet the water quality requirements specified by steam boiler. Common water treatment equipment includes sodium ion exchange water softening equipment, ion exchange desalination equipment, reverse osmosis water purification equipment and thermal oxygen removal equipment.

The quality of the water used to produce the steam in the boiler will have a profound effect on meeting the objectives such as safe operation, maximum combustion and heat transfer efficiency, minimum maintenance and long working life.
Percussive sounds ("banging," "hammering," or "knocking") and vibrations in boiler drums or pipes are serious operational anomalies that demand immediate attention. At ZOZEN, we engineer our coal-fired boilers (like the SZL water-tube and DZL fire-tube series) to minimize these risks, but they can still arise due to operational or system issues. Here are the primary causes and ZOZEN's approach to mitigation:

Boiler is a kind of thermal energy conversion equipment composed of drum and furnace. It uses fuel combustion to heat water into steam or hot water to provide power for production or help auxiliary production. With the continuous improvement of industrial manufacturing technology, boiler's control has also changed from the traditional full manual operation to the present automatic intelligent control.
(1)Ensure normal and stable steam pressure, steam temperature and evaporation.
(2)Avoid coking and burner damage; Ensure the safety of the operation of the superheater; Reduce pollution of combustion.
(3)Make the operation achieve the highest economy.
The water level of steam drum can reflect the condition between feedwater quantity and evaporation quantity of boiler. If the two parameters maintain a stable balance, the water level also remains unchanged; otherwise, the water level will rise or fall. Besides, there is also a false water level phenomenon. How do we understand the false water level?
Proper shutdown procedures are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a coal-fired steam boiler. The following steps should be followed when shutting down a coal-fired steam boiler:
1. Reduce the load: Before shutting down the boiler, the load should be reduced to its minimum level. This will help to prevent sudden drops in pressure and temperature, which could cause damage to the boiler and its components.
2. Shut off the fuel supply: The fuel supply to the boiler should be ...
Industrial steam boilers can produce noise for several reasons, including:
1. Combustion noise: Combustion noise is caused by the sound of the flames as they burn the fuel. This noise is typically louder during startup and shutdown, and can be reduced by optimizing the combustion process.
2. Boiler fan noise: Boiler fans are used to supply combustion air and to exhaust flue gases. The noise generated by the boiler fan can be reduced by installing a silencer or adjusting the fan speed.
3. Wate...
