Typically, a steam boiler should receive servicing at least once per year. Any kind of safety failure with a boiler can have serious consequences, and so a yearly inspection will help to spot any safety issues that need to be addressed. Servicing your boiler on a regular basis can also help you to save money on repairs. If you spot a problem during routine maintenance, there's a good chance you'll be able to fix it at a much cheaper cost than if the problem goes unnoticed and becomes a larger and more serious issue.
Gas-fired boilers use gaseous flammable gases (including liquefied combustible gases) as fuel. These gaseous fuels have relatively higher calorific value and less pollutant emissions, and are gradually becoming popular among corporate users.
Drying the moisture in the fuel of a biomass-fired boiler is important to ensure efficient combustion and prevent issues such as fuel bridging, clumping, and poor boiler performance. Here are some methods that can be used to dry the moisture in biomass fuel:
1. Sun drying: This method involves spreading the biomass fuel, such as wood chips or sawdust, in a thin layer in a sunny, well-ventilated area. The sun's heat and wind will help to evaporate the moisture in the fuel.
2. Fo...
Biomass boilers do produce emissions when they burn organic materials such as wood chips, pellets, or agricultural waste. The exact type and amount of emissions depend on various factors such as the type of fuel used, combustion efficiency, and air pollution control technologies in place. However, with proper design and operation, biomass boilers can emit significantly less pollutants than traditional fossil fuel boilers, making them a more environmentally friendly option for heat and power...
High exhaust temperature in a biomass-fired boiler can be caused by several factors, including:
1. Insufficient air supply: If there is not enough air supplied to the combustion chamber, the fuel may not burn completely, resulting in high exhaust temperatures.
2. Excessive fuel supply: Excessive fuel supply can overload the boiler, causing incomplete combustion and high exhaust temperatures.
3. Improper combustion: Improper combustion can lead to incomplete fuel burning and high exhaust tempe...
Boiler economizers are devices that help to improve the efficiency of industrial boilers by recovering heat from the flue gas and transferring it to the boiler feedwater. In this article, we will explore how boiler economizers work and the benefits they offer. We will also introduce ZOZEN's boiler and economizer solutions that can help improve the energy efficiency of your industrial operations.
How Do Boiler Economizers Work?
A boiler economizer is essentially a heat exchanger that recovers w...
The coal-fired boiler uses coal as fuel. The consumption of coal is a key factor to measure the efficiency of boilers. Under the same condition, the coal-fired boiler with less coal consumption can save more costs for enterprises. However, the coal consumption of coal-fired boilers is related to many factors, such as the efficiency of the boiler, the calorific value of fuel coal and the degree of coal combustion.
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.
