  • What is the function of gas-fired boiler explosion-proof doors? 2020-06-26
    The explosion-proof door of the gas-fired boiler is opened or broken when the combustible gas explosion suddenly increases the pressure, it then releases high-pressure gas to reduce the damage to the gas-fired boiler body and also ensure The function of the gas-fired boiler explosion-proof door is usually reflected when the gas-fired boiler is ignited or running due to improper operation. For instance, the furnace is not purged before ignition, the furnace is still not purged even the ignition cannot successfully be lit, the nozzle is leaking, the fuel is not completely burned, and extinguished failure to cut off fuel quickly, etc. all of them may cause the furnace and tail flue to explode. Installing explosion-proof door for gas-fired boiler is to release the pressure to avoid the accident from expanding and also to ensure the safety of the industrial steam boiler when a slight explosion occurs in the furnace or flue.
  • Why does pressure drop inside a boiler when the load increases? 2020-06-19
    Here load means, amount of steam drawn from the boiler. So when the load increases, the specific volume of the steam in the boiler increases reducing the pressure. This inturn demands for more feed water and more amount of fuel to be burnt. So, for any boiler there will be a feed water level control system put in place to measure the water level in drum. As and when the level of water in the drum reduces, the controller sends a signal to the feed water pump to start and stops when the desired water level is reached. This way the steam generation continues to maintain the desired pressure.
  • What problems can occur if a steam boiler level sensor fails? 2020-06-19
    A water level sensor fail on a steam boiler is extremely dangerous. The low water cut of should be tested daily. If the sensor fails the boiler could turn all the water into steam, leaving the boiler dry. Without water in the boiler the flame from the burner would heat up the heating surface to extreme temperatures and would crack and damage the inside of the boiler. But that’s not the dangerous part. If water added to boiler while it is extremely hot. Once water touches the extremely hot heating service, water would immediately start to evaporate into steam. When water evaporates it expands 18x it’s original size. The boiler would explode from the sudden increase in pressure from the inside. Some in some cases, boilers that have exploded out of a building and have landed 100s of feet away.
  • How to deal with emergency low boiler water level? 2020-06-05
    Normally a boiler is provided with two independent sensors for emergency low water level burner cut-outs. So this would never happen. However, if it does, don't take any chances! Shut off the burners immediately!  Before you start raising the level in the boiler you have to find out if any part of the furnace walls has been overheated. If you raise the level over a glowing steel-wall then the boiler might produce more steam than the safety valves can handle and a nasty explosion would be the result.
  • What is a nonsteaming economizer? 2020-04-10
    If the final temperature of feed water doesn’t reach the saturated temperature after being heated by an economizer, (that is, the feed water has not reached the boiling state), we call the economizer as a nonsteaming economizer. Generally, the final temperature is 30-50℃ lower than the saturated temperature.
  • What is the function of the economizer? 2020-02-07
    The economizer is a heat exchanger equipment which utilizes heat recovery of flue gases to heat feedwater. It can increase boiler efficiency, reduce the temperature of flue gas and save the fuel by absorbing recovery of flue gases. Besides, the feedwater is heated through the economizer before it is supplied into steam drum to decrease the thermal stress of the steam drum wall caused by temperature difference, which can improve the operating conditions of steam drum and prolong the service life of the steam drum.
  • How to pick the right boiler for your needs? 2019-10-18
    There are so many options to weigh when looking for high efficiency boilers: hot water or steam, wetback or dryback, type of fuel, and more. However, there are a few key considerations to make when evaluating a new boiler for efficiency that will help you no matter what your other considerations may be. Look for a fan that can deliver a stable air supply, a burner and boiler unit that can produce low emissions, a design that maximizes flue gas velocity, smart pressure vessel design, and an efficient heating power to boiler surface ratio are just a few considerations to keep in mind. These simple but powerful design elements are hallmarks of solid construction and will add up to significant performance enhancements. Our team members are always available for consultation and can make specific recommendations when it comes to models once we know more about your needs.
  • When should I use a thermal fluid system? 2019-08-01
    The choice between a steam system or a thermal fluid system is governed by the process requirements. The range or process temperature is a deciding factor. If the system’s required temperature is above the freezing point of water (0°C) and below approximately 160°C, the choice is usually steam. However, if the required temperature is above 160°C, thermal fluid may be a better solution. Thermal oil heater systems can be designed with maximum operating temperatures to 325°C.
