steam boiler working principle, ZOZEN steam boiler types and parameters

13 Aug 2020

As we all know, the steam boiler is a kind of essential equipment in the production process of many enterprises. It is mainly used in the processes such as drying, disinfection, sterilization, distillation and so on. It is widely used in various industries such as food, paper, construction, cables, electronics, tobacco, textile and so on. So, what is the steam boiler working principle? Hereby, ZOZEN Boiler will specifically introduce the steam boiler working principle and relevant ZOZEN steam boiler types and parameters for you.

1. steam boiler working principle

The heat released by the fuel combustion in the furnace heats the water in the pot to vaporize it into the steam. The water in the pot (drum) is continuously heated by the energy released by the combustion of gas fuel in the furnace, then the water temperature rises and pressurized steam generates. Because the boiling point of water rises with the increase of pressure and the pot is sealed, the expansion of steam inside is restricted, which results in the generation of pressure and the formation of thermal power (strictly speaking, the steam in the boiler is formed by the water which is heated with pressure to be saturated water which is further vaporized) as a kind of energy used widely. This is the steam boiler working principle.

2. ZOZEN steam boiler types and parameters

Based on the steam boiler working principle and according to different boiler fuels, ZOZEN steam boilers can be divided into: gas/oil-fired steam boilers, coal-fired steam boilers and biomass-fired steam boilers.

1) gas/oil fired steam boilers

ZOZEN gas/oil-fired steam boilers

ZOZEN gas-fired boilers adopt the large furnace design and have the characteristic of fully automatic operation. They can realize the highly efficient, energy-saving and safe operation. The front and rear smoke boxes have special sealing structure to prevent leakage.
