According to the differences in fuel and structure, industrial thermal oil heaters are mainly divided into the oil/gas-fired thermal oil heater and coal/biomass-fired thermal oil heater. The basic configurations of the thermal oil boiler system generally are as follows.
The food processing needs the steam or hot water to assist the production and improve the efficiency. Usually, the food plant needs the small tonnage boiler, so the coal-fired boiler is not recommended.
Percussive sounds ("banging," "hammering," or "knocking") and vibrations in boiler drums or pipes are serious operational anomalies that demand immediate attention. At ZOZEN, we engineer our coal-fired boilers (like the SZL water-tube and DZL fire-tube series) to minimize these risks, but they can still arise due to operational or system issues. Here are the primary causes and ZOZEN's approach to mitigation:

Because coal fuel is expensive and coal combustion can cause serious environmental pollution, it is necessary to transform the coal-fired boiler into gas-fired boiler. However, the reconstruction of coal-fired boiler is not a small project. Only pay close attention to every phase of the reconstruction process can avoid failure.
(1)Ensure normal and stable steam pressure, steam temperature and evaporation.
(2)Avoid coking and burner damage; Ensure the safety of the operation of the superheater; Reduce pollution of combustion.
(3)Make the operation achieve the highest economy.
If the pumps of a coal-fired boiler are not absorbing water, it could be due to several reasons. It's essential to diagnose the issue accurately for an effective solution. Here are some common causes:
Air Locks in the Pump or Suction Line: If there is trapped air within the pump or the suction line, it can prevent the pump from creating the necessary vacuum to draw water.
Low Water Level in the Feed Tank: If the water level in the feed tank is too low, the pump may not have enough water to dra...
Identify the Cause: Before attempting to fix the issue, it's important to understand why the grates are stuck. Common reasons include excessive ash accumulation, warped grates due to overheating, mechanical failures, or obstructions caused by foreign objects.
Shut Down the Heater: For safety, turn off the heater before inspecting or repairing the grates. Ensure that all safety protocols are followed to prevent accidents.
Inspect for Ash and Debris: Check the grates for any ash buildup or forei...
Volatile matter in fuel, particularly in solid fuels like coal or biomass, plays a crucial role in the combustion process within boilers. Understanding the effect of volatile matter can help optimize the boiler operation for better efficiency and emissions. Here are the impacts of volatile matter on boiler combustion:
Ignition and Combustion Stability: High volatile matter content aids in the easy ignition of the fuel. As volatile components release and ignite rapidly when the fuel is heated, t...
