Combustion Efficiency
Combustion efficiency is the effectiveness of the burner only and relates to its ability to completely burn the fuel. The boiler has little bearing on combustion efficiency. A well-designed burner will operate with as little as 15% to 20% excess air, while converting all combustibles in the fuel to thermal energy.
Thermal Efficiency
Thermal efficiency is the effectiveness of the heat transfer in a boiler. It does not take into account boiler radiation and convection losses - for example, from the boiler shell, water column piping, etc.
Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency
Testing a boiler's energy efficiency is essential for identifying how well it converts fuel into heat and for determining potential areas for improvement. As a professional industrial boiler manufacturer, ZOZEN Boiler emphasizes the importance of regular efficiency assessments to optimize performance, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize environmental impact. Here's a comprehensive approach to testing your boiler's energy efficiency:

When considering the purchase of an eco-friendly boiler, there are several key factors to take into account. Eco-friendly boilers are designed to minimize their environmental impact, primarily by reducing emissions and increasing energy efficiency. In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, choosing the right eco-friendly boiler can contribute significantly to your environmental goals and often leads to cost savings over the long term. Here's a detailed look at what to consider when sele...
Selecting the right heat transfer fluid is a critical decision in the design and operation of a wide range of industrial systems, including heating and cooling processes. The choice of fluid impacts not only the efficiency and effectiveness of your system but also its maintenance requirements and long-term operational costs. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the key considerations you should keep in mind when selecting a heat transfer fluid for your specific needs.

If the pumps of a coal-fired boiler are not absorbing water, it could be due to several reasons. It's essential to diagnose the issue accurately for an effective solution. Here are some common causes:
Air Locks in the Pump or Suction Line: If there is trapped air within the pump or the suction line, it can prevent the pump from creating the necessary vacuum to draw water.
Low Water Level in the Feed Tank: If the water level in the feed tank is too low, the pump may not have enough water to dra...
Biomass-fired boilers are increasingly popular due to their renewable and sustainable fuel source. However, like any combustion process, biomass boilers do produce emissions, including smoke and other gases, which can have environmental and health impacts if not properly managed.
What Are Biomass-Fired Boilers?Biomass boilers use organic materials, such as wood chips, pellets, or agricultural waste, as fuel to generate heat or electricity. They are considered more eco-friendly compared to fossi...
If the burner motor of a gas-fired boiler is running and voltage is present at the controller terminal, but there is no ignition followed by a system failure and stop, this situation can be attributed to several potential issues. Here's a breakdown of what might be happening and what to check:
Ignition System Failure: The ignition system, which may include spark electrodes or an igniter, could be faulty. Check for any signs of damage, misalignment, or dirt on the igniter or electrodes.
Control...
If the burner motor of a gas-fired boiler is not running, several issues could be at play. Diagnosing the problem involves checking various components and systems. Here are some common causes:
Electrical Issues: Check if there's an electrical supply to the motor. A tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or loose wiring could interrupt power supply to the motor.
Faulty Motor: The motor itself could be malfunctioning. Over time, motors can wear out or burn out due to electrical issues or mechanica...
