If the boiler burner fails or is faulty, then your boiler is not going to be able to generate heat efficiently, or in the worst case not at all . As industrial boilers are in almost constant use they are built to be very robust and last for decades, nevertheless they can still have problems with broken burners from time to time. Burner pumps, heads and nozzles can all cause problems but a swift replacement should limit your down time.
Not inspecting it often enough can lead to minor issues being missed, which can lead to major issues later and possibly injury.
Not checking a boiler system could have catastrophic results in the form of a boiler explosion. Fuel may explode due to unfound problems. The high temperatures generated by the boiler can also cause problems if the water level drops too low and the trip switch fails.
Few parameters critical to health of the Boiler are
(4)Heat rate of the Boiler. This is a composite index of many performance indicators. Most of them will appear below.
(5)Unburnt fuel in flue gas and at boiler bottom .
(6)Flue gas furnace exit temperature.
(7)Boiler tube metal temperatures.
(8)Oxygen in flue gas.
(9)Imbalances in flue gas temperature over a cross section.
(10)Spray water consumption in Super heater and Reheater.
(11)Heat radiation from insulation.
The above all affects the performance of the boiler.
First of all, we should consider the thermal insulation effect. The main function of a gas-fired boiler is to provide heat energy. Good surface packaging material can avoid heat loss and save the fuel. It is suggested to choose glass wool which has a good insulation effect.
Secondly, we should consider the boiler appearance. It is best to choose a white color plate package when buying a gas-fired boiler, which not only has a beautiful appearance but also has a good insulation effect.
Finally, we should consider the boiler size. Wrong boiler size will cause some unnecessary troubles.
1.Flamelifting caused by a sudden increase of gas pressure;
2.Gas supply disruptions caused by malfunction of solenoid valve;
3.Great gas constituent change and excessive moisture content.
Biomass-fired boilers need to be shut down for maintenance. Proper maintenance can reduce the damage to the boiler caused by continuous work. Firstly, it is necessary to cut off all power to prevent being struck by lightning. In addition, dust, limescale and carbon deposits should be cleaned up to prevent rust and corrosion of the boiler.
The function of high and low level alarms. Low-level alarms will draw attention to low boiler water level and, if required, shut down the boiler. High-level alarms protect plant and processes.
Where boilers are operated without constant supervision (which includes the majority of industrial boilers) low water level alarms are required to shut down the boiler in the event of a lack of water in the boiler. Low level may be caused by:
The term “boiler efficiency” is often substituted for thermal efficiency or fuel-to-steam efficiency. When the term “boiler efficiency” is used, it is important to know which type of efficiency is being represented. Why? Because thermal efficiency, which does not account for radiation and convection losses, is not an indication of the true boiler efficiency. Fuelto-steam efficiency, which does account for radiation and convection losses, is a true indication of overall boiler efficiency. The term “boiler efficiency” should be defined by the boiler manufacturer before it is used in any economic evaluation.
