Steam carries about 540 Kcal/kg of useful energy whereas hot water and thermal fluid carry much less energy. Steam does not require a pump to transfer the energy. Generally, if the heating temperatures required are <100°C, then hot water can be used and if temperatures >180°C are needed then thermal fluid might be a better choice. For process temperatures between 100°C and 180°C steam is considered a viable option.
All thermal fluids expand as they are heated. The amount of expansion is based on the operating temperature, system volume and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fluid. An expansion tank must be provided to accommodate the increased system volume at operating temperature.
NOTE: All fluids expand at a different rate.
A typical system includes the heater, circulation pump, expansion tank, and the user's process. Depending on the temperature requirements and the system design control valves may also be utilized.
The bed temperature rises sharply.
Oxygen levels go down and sometimes drop to zero.
The electric current of primary air fan is less and wind pressure of air compartment is higher.
Negative pressure of furnace is increased while the electric current of induced draft fan is reduced.
The slag discharge is difficult or unsuccessful.
When appearing bed clinkering, the bed temperature and bed pressure will be uneven distributed and not at normal condition; the measuring point of part bed tempe...
Question details (Specific performance):Biomass environmental protection and energy saving fuel made of straw and livestock etc., their combustion is not full. Answer: The cause of the problem:1. Air quantity is insufficient or too big.2. Outer flame position is not proper.Troubleshooting:1.Sufficient temperature： sufficient combustion of biomass boiler needs high temperature, combustion rate is proportional to the temperature, to raise the temperature as much as possible but guarantee there is no slagging.2. Proper air volume. If the air volume is too large, it will reduce the temperature of the furnace and increase the incomplete combustion of fuel. If the air volume is insufficient, the combustion efficiency will be reduced, and the waste of fuel will also increase the emission of smoke.3. Sufficient mixing of fuel and air. During the burning stage of biomass boilers, the sufficient mixing of air and fuel should be ensured and the disturbance should be strengthened during the burnin
(Question Details) Specific Performance:(1) The bed temperature has risen sharply.(2) The oxygen level drops even to zero.(3) The current of the primary blower is reduced, and the wind pressure in the wind chamber is high and fluctuates.(4) The furnace negative pressure increases and the induced draft fan current decreases.(5) Difficulties in slagging.(6) If coking in low temperature, the bed temperature, bed pressure distribution is uneven, the deviation is too large, the bed pressure, the plenum pressure, the bed temperature is not normal, and the local bed temperature measurement point is not normally raised or lowered.(7) The bed pressure indicator value fluctuates little. Answer: causes of failure :(1) Improper operation, resulting in overheated bed temperature and coking.(2) The primary air volume during operation is kept too small, which is lower than the minimum fluidized air volume, so that the material can’t be well fluidized but piled up, the temperature field of the entire
(Question Details) Specific Performance:(1) There are blasting sounds in the furnace, and the furnace chamber is under positive pressure. There is smoke emitted from the combustion chamber in a leakage. In severe cases, the explosion-proof door of the boiler body opens.(2) Drum water level drops rapidly and the feedwater flow rate is not abnormally larger than steam flow. MFT acts when the water level is below -280mm.(3) Drum pressure, steam flow rate, exhaust temperature decrease, smoke temperature difference increases on both sides.(4) The negative pressure at the inlet of the flue and suction fan becomes smaller and the temperature difference between the two sides increased. (5) Smoke temperature decreases at the inlet and outlet of the cyclone separator, and the temperature of the material returned is low.(6) Bed pressure increases, bed materials clean, fluidization poof, bed temperature distributes unevenly and bottom slag discharge difficultly. Answer：cause of failure:(1) Fly ash
