Gas consumption per hour of natural gas boiler = boiler thermal efficiency / natural gas calorific value / boiler efficiency. The higher the efficiency of boiler use, the less gas consumption, which has inverse relationship between the two. Boiler efficiency has become a key point in assessing boiler quality.
The quality of the water used to produce the steam in the boiler will have a profound effect on meeting the objectives such as safe operation, maximum combustion and heat transfer efficiency, minimum maintenance and long working life.
Thermal oil heaters have the characteristics of low pressure and high temperature. They adopt the special manufacturing technology and are equipped with tailor-made flue gas waste heat recovery systems, so they are energy-efficient with higher thermal efficiency than similar products on the market. They also have a high level of automation.
The biomass-fired steam boiler is used widely and the biomass belongs to the renewable energy with high thermal efficiency which can be applied by many production enterprises.
The gas-fired boiler has outstanding eco-friendly advantages, which makes it stand out among various boilers. Due to the high efficiency and fuel characteristics, the gas-fired boiler has many protective measures in the operation.
The steam boiler in the packaging plant is mainly used in the heating process before the raw paper is made into cardboard. In brief, it is using steam which contains no water in the drying process to improve the production efficiency and product quality of packaging cartons. As a result, it has high requirements for the steam and steam boiler, such as temperature, water content, rated evaporation capacity per unit time, etc., which are important parameters in the boiler selection.
1) Set up the air preheater. One of the most effective measures to improve the thermal efficiency of thermal oil heater is to use an air preheater for heat recovery. 2) Use waste heat boiler for heat recovery. The waste heat boiler uses the waste heat in the flue gas exhausted from the thermal oil heater to heat water or generate steam.
Missing insulation reduces the system’s efficiency. Insulation helps hold heat in the system, and when the heat can dissipate, more fuel is needed to maintain proper temperature and pressure.
Since missing insulation may not be visible, the best way to detect it is with a thermal imager. If you don’t have a thermal imager as a part of your building’s operations, a plumber or other professional likely will carry one. If your energy costs have increased without a rise in the amount you use the boiler, suspect missing insulation and call to have the system inspected with a thermal imager.
