The boiler water level gauge is a detection instrument that shows the water level of the boiler, and it is one of the important safety accessories of the steam boiler.
As a kind of special equipment, the safe operation of industrial boilers is the key point that every enterprise may pay attention to. Today, let’s talk about the normal water level in boiler operation.
During the normal operation, the steam drum water level maintains 0mm, and the allowable fluctuation range is ±30mm, with the maximum not exceeding ±50mm.
Generally, it is required that the water temperature shall be reduced to 80℃ to drain the water in the boiler. This is because if the water temperature is high, the temperature in the furnace is still very high, and the metal of the furnace wall and heating surface will still accumulate some heat. After the water is released, there is no working medium in the water wall to cool, which makes the wall temperature rise and the temperature rise is uneven, which is not conducive to the safety of the water wall.
It is necessary to confirm whether the boiler pressure is correspondingly higher when steam is not used and lower when steam is used. This is mainly due to the different water pressure and volume under different pressures.
Coking and dust accumulation on heating surface. Whether it is slagging and ash deposition on the water wall of the furnace or ash deposition on the superheater, convection tube bundle, economizer and preheater, the measured thermal resistance of flue gas will increase, and the deterioration of heat transfer will worsen the cooling effect of flue gas, resulting in an increase in the temperature of boiler waste gas.
First of all, the boiler water and steam are two concepts. It is the unit of measurement for boiling water boiler. What is a boiled water boiler? It belongs to the category of normal pressure hot water boiler, which heats the water temperature to boiling state. To ensure safety in use, the top of the boiler is provided with a nozzle communicated with the atmosphere. If steam is discharged automatically, the boiler will always work under normal pressure, so its attribute is normal pressure hot water boiler.
Because a certain amount of air is usually dissolved in water, with the increase of temperature, the solubility of air decreases, and the gas is gradually separates from the water in the process of water circulation, and gradually gathers together to form large bubbles and even gas columns. Gas is often produced due to the water supplement, so the boiler exhaust valve must be used to avoid damage to the system.
The type and parameters of coal-fired boilers are the direct factors affecting the cost of a small coal-fired boiler. For example, rated capacity, rated steam pressure, rated steam temperature, feed water temperature, etc. With different parameters, the more requirements, the higher the price.
