System load is measured in either BTUs or tons of steam (at a specific pressure and temperature). It would be nearly impossible to size and select a boiler(s) without knowing the system load requirements. Knowing the requirements leads to the following information:
The boiler(s) capacity, taken from the maximum system load requirement.
The boiler(s) turndown, taken from the minimum system load requirement.
Conditions for maximum efficiency, taken from the average system load requirement.
Determining the total system load requires an understanding of the type(s) of load in the system. There are three types of loads: heating, process, and combination.
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.
Evaporation phase occurs in water wall tubes. Evaporation is the process to convert water into steam. Therefore water wall tubes should be designed and constructed to provide high heat absorption, minimum excess air level and highest boiler efficiency. Construction of water wall tubes should be also constructed to prevent air leakage into steam boiler, eliminate amount of heat losses and permit high heat release and combustion rate in the furnace.
Construction of water wall tubes must provide high quality of the supporting component such as tubes, casing, refractory, lagging, tile, fin, and so on. Best construction will reduce heat loss and maintenance. Construction of water wall tubes can be classified into four types such as:
Any unusual noises should always be treated seriously.
One of the first things to check if a boiler is unusually noisy is the boiler's thermostat. If the thermostat is malfunctioning, water can become too hot and begin to boil, which could cause loud noises. If the thermostat is broken it may need to be replaced to prevent the water from heating up so much.
Another reason for a noisy boiler could be mineral deposits. As the water heats up inside the boiler, minerals may sink to the bottom of the tank and affect the heat exchange. This may create hot spots within the boiler in which water is overheated, leading to loud noises.
Low water pressure is also a concern that can result in loud noises. If water pressure is low, the boiler is tend to be overheat.
Industrial boilers are machines or engineering devices whose primary objective is the generation of steam. The heat that is generated, which can come from any energy source, causes it to be transformed into energy for use, either through a liquid phase medium or steam.
Water, which is the primary fluid inside the closed metal container of the industrial boiler, is heated to an atmospheric temperature and a pressure higher than the external one. Once the steam is generated, it advances through the pipes.
A biomass boiler is a boiler designed to burn solid fuels classed as biomass. Such boilers can be supplied to burn every form of biomass from woodchips, wood pellets or logs to waste agricultural materials such as straw and grain husks, olive kernels, rice and the dust from any of these including sawdust. Boilers need to be designed to burn specific materials, with any given boiler able to burn a limited range of biomass.
ZOZEN biomass-fired boiler has wide fuel adaptability, is suitable for a wide variety of biomass fuels including biomass particle, wood chips, palm shell, straw and so on. The engineering technique personnel of ZOZEN optimized the design of the feeding hopper, the length and width of the fire grate, rotary speed of gearbox, 1st and 2nd air ratio, vapor orientation and position, etc; the above upgrades ensure the high thermal efficiency and stable operation of the boiler.
For the selection of heat fluid boilers, first step is to determine several parameters: thermal power in the process, the oil temperature, and the use of waste heat.There are several methods for determining the boiler's thermal power:1. Calculation. According to the specific heat capacity of the material to be heated, the heating temperature difference, the processing amount per unit time, etc., the thermal power is equal to the product of the above three points, and the calculation result considers a certain margin amount as the boiler capacity.2. The sum of thermal power in the process equipment can also be used as the basis for the heat power.3. Refer to the experience of the same industry to increase or decrease on the basis of peers.4. If steam heating is used, it can be converted into heat transfer oil of the same tonnage and the capacity is appropriately reduced.The determination of the temperature of the heat transfer oil can be determined according to the characteristics of th
