Combustion efficiency is an indication of the burner’s ability to burn fuel. The amount of unburned fuel and excess air in the exhaust are used to assess a burner’s combustion efficiency. Burners resulting in low levels of unburned fuel while operating at low excess air levels are considered efficient. Well designed conventional burners firing gaseous and liquid fuels operate at excess air levels of 15% and result in negligible unburned fuel. Well designed ultra low emissions burners operate at a higher excess air level of 25% in order to reduce emissions to very low levels. By operating at the minimum excess air requirement, less heat from the combustion process is being used to heat excess combustion air, which increases the energy available for the load. Combustion efficiency is not the same for all fuels and, generally, gaseous and liquid fuels burn more efficiently than solid fuels.
In the case of a thermal oil heater in a high-temperature operation state, if it encounters an emergency situation of power failure, its correct treatment is:
When the circulating oil pump cannot operate normally due to power failure, the heat transfer oil in the furnace tube will exceed the allowable value in a short time due to the residual heat of the furnace. At this time, the cold oil switching valve should be opened to release the cold oil in the expansion tank. And sent to the oil storage tank. At the same time, wet coal pressure or emergency shutdown is required and needs to be completed within 5 minutes.
In addition, we need to pay attention to not to put the oil in the expansion tank clean, otherwise the system will inhale air and cause problems. An oil level mark can be made on the oil level of the oil storage tank. When the cold oil is replaced, the valve can be closed in time to avoid the expansion of the expansion tank and the oil storage tank.
All boilers, whether hot water or steam, depend on fuel to run. The heating process is initiated when the burner heats or evaporates the water inside it, which is ultimately transported via pipe systems. Hot water boilers rely on pumps to move the heat through the system, while steam boilers are transported with the pressure generated in the heating process. Eventually, cooled water or condensed steam is returned back through the pipes to the boiler system so that it can be heated once again. While the boiler is generating energy in the form of heat, flue gases, a byproduct of this process, are removed through a chimney system - which is why regulating the emissions of industrial boilers is taken very seriously.
Here are some common issues that could cause your industrial boiler to misbehave.
1. Burner Not Functioning Correctly.
If the boiler burner fails or is faulty, then your boiler is not going to be able to generate heat efficiently, or in the worst case not at all . As industrial boilers are in almost constant use they are built to be very robust and last for decades, nevertheless they can still have problems with broken burners from time to time. Burner pumps, heads and nozzles can all cause problems but a swift replacement should limit your down time.
Any unusual noises should always be treated seriously.
One of the first things to check if a boiler is unusually noisy is the boiler's thermostat. If the thermostat is malfunctioning, water can become too hot and begin to boil, which could cause loud noises. If the thermostat is broken it may need to be replaced to prevent the water from heating up so much.
Another reason for a noisy boiler could be mineral deposits. As the water heats up inside the boiler, minerals may sink to the bottom of the tank and affect the heat exchange. This may create hot spots within the boiler in which water is overheated, leading to loud noises.
Low water pressure is also a concern that can result in loud noises. If water pressure is low, the boiler is tend to be overheat.
The life of the heat medium oil for thermal oil heater is related to the operating temperature, and the life is shorter when the operating temperature is high.After half a year, the heat medium oil is used for sampling every 2-3 months. When the flash point of the heat medium oil changes by more than 20%, the acid value is less than 0.5 mgKOH/g, and the residual carbon is less than 1.5 wo/o, when the color of oil becomes dark, it indicates that it has failed and needed to be replaced.The relationship between heat transfer oil life and temperature is shown in the following table: (unit, year) 360℃ 360℃

Specific performance:Low level alarm of expansion tank.Answer：Cause of failure:The pipeline system (including heater) has not been replenished in time after oil leakage or degassing. Troubleshooting:Eliminate system defects and add oil.
