If the impurities in the boiler feedwater are not dealt with properly, carryover of boiler water into the steam system can occur.
Carryover can be caused by two factors:
A steam boiler is a water containing vessel which transfers heat generated by a fuel source into steam, which is then piped and directed to points where it could be used while running industrial equipment. The basic idea here is to convert water to steam using a source of heat.
Although most people know their boiler will not last forever, many people treat it as it should. On average, your industrial boiler should last you anywhere from 20 to 25 years without any trouble. If you’re around year 15, you may be able to retrofit your boiler to update it with newer technology.
The safety valve of the boiler refers to the valve on the top of the boiler near the boiler control room. The function of the safety valve is to be opened automatically to exhaust the steam and restore the pressure when the boiler pressure exceeds the specified valve, so as to ensure the safety of boiler pressure-bearing components and steam turbines.
The quality of boiler feedwater is an important determinant of safe boiler operations and it should be monitored to maintain the quality within safe working limits. Boiler feedwater is treated to protect the boiler from two basic problems: the buildup of solid deposits on the interior or water side of the tubes, and corrosion.
The flue gas first enters the cyclone dust collector which acts as a primary dust collector to make the large dust particles in the flue gas settle down. The cyclone dust collector is a dust removal device which uses the centrifugal force generated by the cyclone flow to separate the dust particles from the air flow. Afterwards, the flue gas enters the wet scrubber dust collector which is a circular-type cylinder. The circulating water enters the dust collector from the upper overflow tank to form a uniform water film on the inner wall of the dust collector. The flue gas is induced tangentially or spirally from the lower part of the cylinder and rotates in the cylinder. Under the influence of the centrifugal force, the dust particles are separated from the flue gas and then the flue gas is also spirally led out from the top of the cylinder. The dust particles are thrown to the water film, transferred to the bottom and finally discharged from the dust port.
Boiler is a piece of equipment with large energy consumption. Therefore, both boiler manufacturers and purchasers regard energy conservation as an important indicator of boiler performance. The daily energy-saving measures of the natural gas fired boiler are mainly as follows.
