The quality of boiler feedwater is an important determinant of safe boiler operations and it should be monitored to maintain the quality within safe working limits. Boiler feedwater is treated to protect the boiler from two basic problems: the buildup of solid deposits on the interior or water side of the tubes, and corrosion.
If the hot oil pump of the fully automatic thermal oil heater is suddenly damaged and stops working during the operation, the boiler circulation will be blocked. If the fuel is still burning to make the oil temperature keep rising, it will cause the coking of the hot medium oil which is easy to cause a fire. If the fully automatic thermal oil heater catches fire due to the power cut during the operation, the boiler operator should quickly put out the fire in the furnace to stop the fuel from burning, and blow a large amount of cold air into the furnace to lower the temperature.
The flue gas first enters the cyclone dust collector which acts as a primary dust collector to make the large dust particles in the flue gas settle down. The cyclone dust collector is a dust removal device which uses the centrifugal force generated by the cyclone flow to separate the dust particles from the air flow. Afterwards, the flue gas enters the wet scrubber dust collector which is a circular-type cylinder. The circulating water enters the dust collector from the upper overflow tank to form a uniform water film on the inner wall of the dust collector. The flue gas is induced tangentially or spirally from the lower part of the cylinder and rotates in the cylinder. Under the influence of the centrifugal force, the dust particles are separated from the flue gas and then the flue gas is also spirally led out from the top of the cylinder. The dust particles are thrown to the water film, transferred to the bottom and finally discharged from the dust port.
In the operation of gas-fired steam/hot water boiler, it need continuous water supply to ensure the water volume in the drum. Once water shortage occurs, it will cause the boiler dry burning problem, which will further result in the boiler failure and other problems.
Gas-fired hot water boilers require high-quality water to improve the boiler performance and extend the service life. If the boiler uses the tap water of water which contains a lot of impurities, magnesium and calcium ions in the water will form white precipitates when the water is heated at high temperatures, which can cause the scaling problem to reduce the heat transfer efficiency of the boiler and bring hidden dangers of the boiler safety.
The slugging for the circulating fluidized bed boiler means that the bubbles in the feed layer converge and grow. When the diameter of the bubbles grows close to the cross section of the bed, the feed layer is divided into several sections to be particle layers with intervals of bubble sections. The particle layers are pushed by bubbles to move upwards to a certain height and then they burst into a large number of small particles that are thrown out of the bed and carried away by bubbles, while the large particles fall down like rain.
