The performance of a dual-fuel boiler that can operate with either Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Natural Gas can vary based on several factors, but generally, these boilers are designed to provide users with a high degree of flexibility and efficiency. Here is an assessment of the typical performance characteristics of a dual-fuel LPG and Natural Gas boiler:
Advantages:
High Flexibility:
Dual-fuel boilers can switch between LPG and Natural Gas based on availability or cost, providing a rel...
Horizontal steam boiler structure
The horizontal internal combustion boiler has a large-diameter shell, in which a furnace is arranged, and the burner is placed in the furnace to form an internal combustion chamber. Both ends of the furnace are respectively connected with the front and rear tube plates, and the smoke tube is arranged between the front and rear tube plates, so there is no need for bricklaying walls outside the boiler. The structure is mainly composed of boiler shell, furnace, f...
In recent years, the state has stepped up efforts of prohibiting the traditional coal-fired boilers. Major enterprises keep up with the times and purchase various environmental protection boilers. Gas-fired boiler is currently the most popular environmental protection boiler. However, due to geographical limitations in some areas, natural gas is difficult to obtain, or the cost is too high, some enterprises will choose biomass steam boilers.
Ensure that the vent valve on the boiler is open and check there is no pressure in the boiler. Check that the steam stop valve is closed. Check that all the valves for fuel are open, and let the fuel circulate through the system until it comes to the temperature required by the manufacturer recommendation.
The chain grate is the combustion equipment of coal-fired steam boiler. There are three main types and structures: chain belt grate, scale grate and beam grate.
With the industrial innovation and the advance of science and technology, steam engine is replaced by gas-fired boiler that is a kind of more energy-saving heat production machine. There are three main usages of gas-fired boiler that we need to know in order to better understand the benefits that gas-fired boiler brings to us.
A water level sensor fail on a steam boiler is extremely dangerous. The low water cut of should be tested daily. If the sensor fails the boiler could turn all the water into steam, leaving the boiler dry. Without water in the boiler the flame from the burner would heat up the heating surface to extreme temperatures and would crack and damage the inside of the boiler. But that’s not the dangerous part. If water added to boiler while it is extremely hot. Once water touches the extremely hot heating service, water would immediately start to evaporate into steam. When water evaporates it expands 18x it’s original size. The boiler would explode from the sudden increase in pressure from the inside. Some in some cases, boilers that have exploded out of a building and have landed 100s of feet away.
The economizer is a heat exchanger equipment which utilizes heat recovery of flue gases to heat feedwater. It can increase boiler efficiency, reduce the temperature of flue gas and save the fuel by absorbing recovery of flue gases. Besides, the feedwater is heated through the economizer before it is supplied into steam drum to decrease the thermal stress of the steam drum wall caused by temperature difference, which can improve the operating conditions of steam drum and prolong the service life of the steam drum.
