The main water quality indexes of medium and high pressure steam boiler water are hardness, dissolved oxygen, iron, copper, sodium and silicon dioxide.
The higher heating value of natural gas refers to the total heat released when a specified amount of natural gas is completely burned, including the latent heat of vaporization released by the condensation of water vapor in flue gas into water.
The lower heating value of natural gas refers to the heat released when a specified amount of gas is completely burned, the temperature of combustion products is the same as the initial temperature of natural gas, and the generated steam remains ...
Boiler parameters are the main indicators of boiler performance, including boiler capacity, steam pressure, steam temperature, feed water temperature, etc. Boiler capacity can be expressed by rated evaporation or maximum continuous evaporation. Rated evaporation is the amount of steam continuously produced per unit time under the specified outlet pressure, temperature and efficiency. The maximum continuous evaporation is the maximum amount of steam that can be continuously produced per unit time under the specified outlet pressure and temperature.
As a kind of special equipment, the safe operation of industrial boilers is the key point that every enterprise may pay attention to. Today, let’s talk about the normal water level in boiler operation.
During the normal operation, the steam drum water level maintains 0mm, and the allowable fluctuation range is ±30mm, with the maximum not exceeding ±50mm.
The gas-fired hot water boiler heats up quickly and has the high thermal efficiency. It is widely used in the heating industry and production. What are the maintenance methods of the gas-fired hot water boiler?
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 primary purpose of the boiler is to supply energy to the facility's operations – for comfort heating, manufacturing process, laundry, kitchen, etc. The nature of the facility's operation will dictate whether a steam or hot water boiler should be used. Hot water is commonly used in heating applications, with the boiler supplying water to the system at 120°F to 220°F. The operating pressure for hot water heating systems usually is 30 psig to 125 psig (hydrostatic). Under these conditions, there is a wide range of hot water boiler products available. If system requirements are for hot water of more than 250°F, a high-temperature water boiler should be considered.
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.
