In the adjustment of boiler operation, on the basis of ensuring safe operation, economic operation must also be achieved to improve boiler efficiency. In general boiler units, the efficiency can basically reach more than 92%, and the total loss is less than 8%. The loss is: exhaust heat loss, generally 5-6%, followed by mechanical incomplete combustion heat loss is less than 1-1.5 %, heat loss and ash slag physical heat loss are about 1%. (Physical heat loss for high ash coal ash residue will be greater).
From the point of view of quantification of indicators, the key to improving boiler efficiency is to reduce smoke loss and heat loss due to incomplete combustion of machinery. Pay attention to the flue gas temperature changes. Excessive flue gas temperature will affect the efficiency of the boiler. Too low temperature may cause low-temperature corrosion of the air preheater. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the adjustment according to the load changes during operation. When t
1. During the start-up process of the burner, if the burner repeatedly alarms and locks, it should be found out the reason, find the fault and eliminate it, and then press the reset button to inherit the start. Note: The continuous press of the reset button should not exceed 10 seconds
2. If the burner is not successful in one combustion, the natural gas boiler induced draft fan should be restarted, and the second combustion can be started after 5 minutes of ventilation.
3. In the normal operation era, the burner close to the thermal equipment department (such as the connecting flange, etc.) will be very hot, to prevent the formation of burns. Do not place flammable materials in the vicinity to avoid causing fire.
4. During the operation of natural gas-fired boilers, it is necessary to closely supervise the working conditions of hot water circulation pumps and natural gas-fired boiler pressures, natural gas distribution bags, pipeline valves, pressure gauges, flow meters, and water
Here load means, amount of steam drawn from the boiler. So when the load increases, the specific volume of the steam in the boiler increases reducing the pressure. This inturn demands for more feed water and more amount of fuel to be burnt. So, for any boiler there will be a feed water level control system put in place to measure the water level in drum. As and when the level of water in the drum reduces, the controller sends a signal to the feed water pump to start and stops when the desired water level is reached. This way the steam generation continues to maintain the desired pressure.
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.
The following conditions will occur when a gas-fired boiler is leaking:
The working pressure of natural gas changes.
There is a strong airflow sound near the source of the leak.
The hand-held alarm makes an abnormal sound.
If the boiler has a serious leakage, the fixed alarm will issue an automatic alarm and the exhaust fan will be opened automatically.
The coal-fired boiler refers to the boiler uses various types of coal as fuel and converts the heat of coal to steam or hot water.
There are generally two calculation methods of the circulating water volume of a coal-fired hot water boiler. One is to calculate the hourly water volume of one square meter and the other is to calculate the design parameter volume of every ton. As for the make-up water volume of this type of boiler, it is usually calculated as 1% to 3% of its total circulating water.
The selection of a burner of the gas-fired thermal oil heater should be determined according to the boiler proper structure and fuel characteristics and in combination with the actual conditions and requirements. In addition, this kind of boiler can adopt a waste heat recovery device to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat energy loss.
