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
Carrying out the exhaust work of a thermal oil heater smoothly is essential for maintaining the efficiency, safety, and longevity of the system.

Controlling the temperature of a thermal oil heater during operation is crucial for several reasons, directly impacting the efficiency, safety, and lifespan of the system. Thermal oil heaters, also known as hot oil heaters, are used in various industrial processes for heating applications. They operate by circulating thermal oil through a closed loop, transferring heat to a desired location. Here's why temperature control is essential in these systems:
1. Ensuring Operational Efficiency:
Optim...
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.
1. Thermal Propertie...
Increased Efficiency: Economizers and condensers are designed to capture and utilize the waste heat from boiler flue gases. This process significantly improves the overall efficiency of the heating system.
Reduced Fuel Consumption: By maximizing heat recovery, these devices lower the amount of fuel needed to reach the desired temperature, leading to substantial fuel savings and reduced operating costs.
Lower Emissions: Improved efficiency translates to less fuel burned, which directly reduces ...
Selecting the right heat medium oil (also known as thermal oil or heat transfer fluid) for liquid phase heating systems is crucial for efficient and safe operation. Here are key factors to consider when choosing a heat medium oil:
Operating Temperature Range: Different oils have different operating temperature ranges. Choose an oil that can maintain stable thermal properties within the temperature range required by your system. Both the maximum and minimum operating temperatures are important t...
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...
