Boiler is a kind of thermal energy conversion equipment composed of drum and furnace. It uses fuel combustion to heat water into steam or hot water to provide power for production or help auxiliary production. With the continuous improvement of industrial manufacturing technology, boiler's control has also changed from the traditional full manual operation to the present automatic intelligent control.
Discharging high-temperature flue gas generated by a biomass-fired boiler efficiently and safely is crucial for boiler operation, environmental compliance, and energy recovery. These gases, if not handled properly, can lead to energy inefficiency and increase the emission of pollutants. ZOZEN Boiler, as a professional industrial boiler manufacturer, incorporates advanced technologies and strategies to manage and utilize high-temperature flue gases from biomass-fired boilers. Here's an overview o...
An Interlock in the boiler’s control system is a programmed or hardwired condition that forces a device to be in a pre-determined or permissive state before the process can continue.
Depending on design pressure, fuel type, either liquid, gas or solid, all steam boiler require interlocks to sequence the operation and to prevent damage to the boiler. Examples of such devices are High or Low Boiler Drum Water Level, Low Boiler Feed Pump Pressure, High or Low Fuel pressure, High or Low Atomization pressure (oil fired), Proof of Ignition, Proof of Flame, FD and/or ID (solid fuel) Fan Motor Operation or combustion air pressure, Damper or Valve position and High Boiler Steam Pressure as well as O2 and furnace temperature.
There are many valves commonly used in atmospheric gas-fired boilers, including gate valves and stop valves of main steam valves, water supply valves, check valves, exhaust valves, etc.
When the water pump is turned on, the pressure signal is transmitted to the on-off valve of the atmospheric gas-fired boiler through the pressure pipe, the valve is opened, and the water circulation is carried out. When the water pump stops, the pressure drops, and the on-off valve is closed slowly to av...
Manually close the fuel supply valve, stop the combustion, purge after the program enters, until the end of the purge, stop the program such as burning heavy oil, and enter the line sweeping stage before stopping the combustion, and purge with steam or light oil pipe; Generally, steam purging is used when stopping for a long time.
Ensure that the vent valve on the boiler is open and check there is no pressure in the boiler. Check that the steam stop valve is closed. Check that all the valves for fuel are open, and let the fuel circulate through the system until it comes to the temperature required by the manufacturer recommendation.
Water treatment outside the boiler
Before entering the boiler, raw water is treated with water treatment equipment to remove impurities such as hardness, salinity, dissolved oxygen, etc., so that the feed water can meet the water quality requirements specified by steam boiler. Common water treatment equipment includes sodium ion exchange water softening equipment, ion exchange desalination equipment, reverse osmosis water purification equipment and thermal oxygen removal equipment.

Low-pressure boilers operate at a lower pressure and reach lower temperatures than high-pressure steam boilers. Water in low-pressure boilers is not heated beyond 250ºF, and the steam pressure does not exceed 15 psi (pounds per square inch).
