ASME code – also known by its longer name: ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code – regulates the design, development, and manufacturing of boilers used in a variety of industries and applications.
This code was developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, an organization that has been around for well over 100 years and is focused on establishing safety codes and standards for mechanical equipment.
Within the industrial heating industry, ASME code is the established standard that many pieces of equipment are built to.
Heating systems that adhere to the specifications set forth by ASME code have been constructed according to guidelines intended to promote safety and quality. As such, heating equipment that is ASME code compliant has been thoroughly inspected to assure that it meets high safety and quality standards.
Economizer is one of steam boiler’s equipment which is used to heat feedwater before it is supplied into steam drum. Economizer is the heat exchanger equipment to increase boiler efficiency by absorbing heat recovery of flue gases. The lower temperature of flue gas out from stack, the heat loss will be less and the fuel which is needed to convert water into steam will be also less in certain circumstances. So it can be said that economizer can save the fuel efficiently. Economizer will make temperature of feedwater higher, so steam boiler can produce steam easily.
Boiler controls provide an extra level of safety and reassurance: they allow you to understand your boiler's daily operations better, as well as perform the crucial duty of ensuring that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Regardless of what kind of industrial or commercial operation you run, here are some must-have boiler controls to get the most out of your equipment.
A dryback boiler has a rear wall that is lined with refractory, a wetback boiler has a rear wall that is jacketed by water. Because of this fact, wetback boilers typically boast higher efficiency than dryback boilers as the heat from combustion goes directly into heating water instead of refractory. Wetback boilers are also more forgiving with load changes as the reversal chamber of the boiler is totally submerged in water creating an even heat transfer on the intermediate tube sheet to furnace joint.
In a water tube steam boiler, unlike a fire tube, water circulates inside the tubes. The heat that is generated and the combustion gases that surround the tubes heat the water that circulates inside them. Many water-tube boilers operate according to the principle of natural water circulation.
The capacity of this type of boiler can be enhanced by increasing the number of tubes in the boiler.
Steam boilers with a low NOx system are specially designed to minimize the environmental impact with the production of dry saturated steam. This type of boiler incorporates a stainless steel economizer with a cross flow integrated within the boiler and that, consequently, allows to reach maximum efficiency.In addition, it has a natural gas burner with low NOx emissions.
1. Rational air distribution, supply sufficient and rational air by region; 2. Appropriate furnace temperature;3. Suitable air turbulence and mixing in furnace;4. Fuels remain long enough on chain grate and in the furnace;5. Keep a reasonable distance between the fuel hopper and the flame fronts to avoid igniting fuels in the hopper.The biomass-fired boilers are optimally designed according to the characteristics of different biomass fuels. ZOZEN will customize the biomass-fired boiler for ...
