What fuel is used for industrial boilers?
industrial boilers occupy an important position in China's production and life, and are widely used in markets such as chemical industry, energy, building materials, construction, metallurgy and military industry. The essence of industrial boiler is energy conversion equipment, and burning fuel releases heat energy to heat the medium. What fuel does industrial boiler use? Here is a systematic introduction for everyone.
What kind of fuel is used for industrial boilers?
The fuel used in industrial boilers refers to the substance that can give off heat in the combustion process. In engineering, carbides and hydrocarbons that can react violently with oxygen when heated to a certain temperature and give off a lot of heat are often called fuels. All fuels used in industrial boilers can be divided into solid fuel, fluid fuel and gas fuel according to their state, and can be divided into natural fuel and artificial fuel according to their acquisition methods. What kind of fuel is used for industrial boilers? There are three categories:
1. Gases
Natural gas, biogas, coke oven gas, carbon black gas, etc.
2. Liquids
Methanol, diesel oil, heavy oil, light oil, residual oil and new biomass diesel oil.
3. Solid fuels
All kinds of coal, biomass particles, sawdust, palm shells, straws, forest waste materials, etc.
What fuel is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly for industrial boilers?
Different fuels have their own advantages and disadvantages. What kind of fuel to use for industrial boilers, users should choose the boiler products suitable for enterprises in combination with policies, difficulty in obtaining fuel and working conditions. In the past, the main fuel of boilers was coal, but with the strengthening of environmental policy, traditional coal-fired boilers did not meet the environmental policy indicators, and small coal-fired boilers were completely banned. At present, the boiler products mainly based on gas boilers and biomass boilers in the market have developed rapidly.
