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.
For same energy output when energy input is lesser efficiency increase. When maximum heat energy is generated from coal or losses in heat transfer are reduced efficiency increase. Coal in boulder size is burnt combustion may not be complete. There will be more unburnt coal. As per coal chemistry and as per boiler flue gas velocity as designed best coal size for full combustion is designed. Maximum crushed coal is also not the best. Then there will be more coal dust. According to general design in various technologies pulverized coal give best combustion for fbc boilers. For cfbc boilers generally crushed coal size is 6 mm.
When you achieve best combustion mean this is main contributor for increase in efficiency. Boiler design, heat transfer, flue gas velocity, heat losses, are other factors for efficiency.
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.
The thermal oil heater is a heater that uses heat medium oil as medium for heat transfer. The low-pressure and high-temperature heating can be realized by the utilization of the high-temperature characteristics of heat medium oil.If there is too much moisture in the low-temperature heat medium oil, there will be pressure fluctuations, which will cause some other problems. In addition, if the heat medium oil does not flow in the furnace owing to the stop of pump, the oil temperature will rise and exceed the limit value, which not will greatly affect the service life of the heater and cause the deterioration of the heat medium oil.
Generally, there is moisture in heat medium oil. And, the moisture will be evaporated during the heating process of the oil. If the water vapor is not discharged from the thermal oil heater, it will cause the fluctuation of heat medium oil pressure. However, the oil-gas separator can separate the water vapor from the heat medium oil and discharge it from the heater, which ensures the stable oil pressure.
If the circulating pump of a thermal oil heater stops working suddenly. Then, some measures should be taken immediately to remove the fire source. If not, the stop of circulating pump will cause coking in the oil tube, which will shorten the service life of the heater.
1. The storage tank is used to store the heat medium oil of the heating system;
2. The storage tank is used to receive the overrunning heat medium oil;
3. The storage tank is used to supplement heat medium oil for the heating system;
4. The storage tank should be placed at the lowest position of the system;
5. A firewall should be placed between the storage tank and the thermal oil heater;
6. The storage tank should be operated at a low liquid level.
The selection of a burner of the gas-fired thermal oil heater should be determined according to the boiler proper structure and fuel characteristics and in combination with the actual conditions and requirements. In addition, this kind of boiler can adopt a waste heat recovery device to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat energy loss.
