A fire tube steam boiler is a boiler where the combustion gases from the burner are channeled through tubes that are surrounded by the fluid to be heated. The boiler body is the pressure vessel and contains the fluid. In most cases, this fluid is water that will circulate for heating purposes or become steam for use in processing.
Each set of tubes through which the combustion gas passes, before making a turn, is considered a "step". Consequently, a three-step boiler will have three sets of pipes with the outlet located at the rear of the boiler.
(Question Details) Specific Performance:The pipe of superheater bursts in circulating fluidized bed boiler operation.The bed pressure indicator fluctuates little. Answer: causes of failure:(1) Design Factors.(2) Manufacturing process, installation and maintenance quality.(3) The temperature control device is unreasonable or does not work properly.(4) Effect of operating conditions on overheating and explosion of superheater. Troubleshooting:(1) Report the fact to operator on duty and require operating the boiler in low load.(2) When the overheat damage is serious,please report it to operator on duty and require stoping the boiler immediately to prevent blowout of the near pipes.(3) Adjust the steam temperature as much as possible within the normal range.(4) If the superheater tube is not damaged badly, it has little effect on the temperature level of the steam, and it can be allowed to run in a low load range for a short period of time.
Question details (Performance):The steam pipe vibrates violently and has a dull impact sound.Answer: fault reason: There is air in pipeline ; automatic air vent valve is not turned on; or it is out of order. Troubleshooting: Check all the air release valves on the water supply pipe and the air release valves on the top of the boiler tube for gas storage. If the valve fails, it should be replaced immediately.
