The pharmaceutical sector is an area that requires the highest quality steam for its processes, known as clean steam, instead of other industrial steams. Some processes in this sector even need the highest level of quality - pure steam, which involves even stricter steam purity requirements for use in the sterilization of raw materials and pharmaceutical products at high temperatures.
Horizontal steam boiler structure
The horizontal internal combustion boiler has a large-diameter shell, in which a furnace is arranged, and the burner is placed in the furnace to form an internal combustion chamber. Both ends of the furnace are respectively connected with the front and rear tube plates, and the smoke tube is arranged between the front and rear tube plates, so there is no need for bricklaying walls outside the boiler. The structure is mainly composed of boiler shell, furnace, f...
The key difference between vapor and steam is that vapor is a generally used term while steam is the technical and specific term. A shared attribute between vapor and steam is the point of origin or how it is formed. Steam and other kinds of vapor are often made by evaporation or with other means or application of heat.
Steam boilers use a contained heat system to generate steam. The steam travels through pipes in the building’s walls where they emerge at radiators in heating systems. The radiators warm from the steam’s heat. As the steam gives off its heat, it condenses back to liquid water and returns to the tank. A boiler system of this type that does not allow outside water sources is a closed system and is highly efficient for using all the condensed water. An open network may be required in operations where the steam or water gets contaminated in such a way that it cannot return to the boiler for reuse.
Textile is one of the industries that cannot be separated from steam boilers. Whether it is dyeing or drying, boilers can speed up production smoothly. The oil-fired steam boiler is very suitable for textile mills. The oil-fired steam boilers produced by ZOZEN for textile mills mainly include SZS oil-fired steam boilers and WNS oil-fired steam boilers.
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.
A water level sensor fail on a steam boiler is extremely dangerous. The low water cut of should be tested daily. If the sensor fails the boiler could turn all the water into steam, leaving the boiler dry. Without water in the boiler the flame from the burner would heat up the heating surface to extreme temperatures and would crack and damage the inside of the boiler. But that’s not the dangerous part. If water added to boiler while it is extremely hot. Once water touches the extremely hot heating service, water would immediately start to evaporate into steam. When water evaporates it expands 18x it’s original size. The boiler would explode from the sudden increase in pressure from the inside. Some in some cases, boilers that have exploded out of a building and have landed 100s of feet away.
Normally a boiler is provided with two independent sensors for emergency low water level burner cut-outs. So this would never happen. However, if it does, don't take any chances! Shut off the burners immediately!
Before you start raising the level in the boiler you have to find out if any part of the furnace walls has been overheated. If you raise the level over a glowing steel-wall then the boiler might produce more steam than the safety valves can handle and a nasty explosion would be the result.
