Heating surface is one criterion used when comparing boilers. Boilers with higher heating surface per boiler horsepower tend to be more efficient. Traditional packaged boilers are offered with 5 square feet of heating surface per boiler horsepower as an optimum design for peak efficiency, but new design breakthroughs allow ZOZEN boilers to have increased efficiency using more effective heating surface and reducing the size of the footprint.
The heating load of an industrial boiler refers to the amount of energy required to generate a certain amount of heat in a specific period, usually measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour, kilowatts (kW), or megawatts (MW). Essentially, it's the amount of energy needed to heat the water or generate steam in the boiler for industrial processes or heating purposes.
Understanding the heating load is crucial for several reasons:

As we all know, energy efficiency is important. If you’re a plant manager or industrial facility owner, there may be one place where you’re overlooking efficiency: the industrial heating equipment that powers your facility.
Efficiency is especially important on a large scale and manufacturing and production operations are no exception. Here are two key reasons why you may want to consider upgrading your industrial heating equipment or installing a new, highly efficient therm...
The heat requirements of the building materials manufacturing process are very varied. A steam boiler plays a key role in the process of creating building materials. For example, materials like molded brick rely very much on steam heat from an industrial steam boiler in order to pressurize and harden the elements that make up the brick. Without exposure to that kind of heat and pressure, these materials would be a loose construction of sediment, rather than dependable, solid building components....
Establishing a boiler water treatment plan will provide you with real-time feedback of your boiler system so you can get ahead of any issues that might occur as a result of poor water quality. We broke down the boiler water treatment process into three simple steps that you can incorporate into your preventative maintenance practices.
Water quality is of the utmost importance in proper and safe boiler operations. An improperly treated feedwater system can result in the scaling of the boiler internals, safety equipment and auxiliary piping.
To prevent scale formation from low remaining levels of hardness which may have escaped treatment. Sodium phosphate is normally used for this, and causes the hardness to precipitate to the bottom of the boiler where it can be blown down.
Industrial boilers will produce wastes that needs to be treated during the use process, which is what we mentioned of boiler blowdown. What are the methods for boiler blowdown?
1. Regular blowdown
1) The time interval and quantity of discharge depend on the test results of boiler water. It usually do not exceed 5% of the water supply.
2) When the regular blowdown is being made under high load of the boiler, the blowdown of the water-cooled wall header is generally not required to avoid affecting the normal water circulation of the water-cooled wall and forming a tube explosion incident.
2. Continuous blowdown
The amount of blowdown shall be determined according to the test results of the boiler water, and shall be completed by adjusting the needle-shaped angle of the blowdown tube.
