What does flue gas flow rate refer to in industrial boilers?

21 Apr 2023

Flue gas flow rate in industrial boilers refers to the rate or volume at which flue gas flows inside the boiler. The calculation of flue gas flow rate is used to understand the combustion state and thermal efficiency of industrial boilers for optimization and improvement purposes.

 

The calculation of flue gas flow rate usually takes into account factors such as the temperature and pressure of the flue gas, the density of the flue gas, and the flow rate of the flue gas. The main purposes of calculating flue gas flow rate during the design, commissioning, and operation of industrial boilers are:

 

1. To understand the combustion state and thermal efficiency: By calculating the flow rate and composition of flue gas, the combustion state and thermal efficiency of the boiler can be understood to adjust and optimize it.

 

2. To monitor environmental emissions: The monitoring of flue gas flow rate and composition is an important indicator of environmental emissions, which helps companies understand whether their emissions meet environmental requirements.

 

3. To determine the rated capacity of the boiler: The calculation of flue gas flow rate can help determine the rated capacity of the boiler to ensure normal operation and production.

The process of calculating flue gas flow rate requires the use of instruments such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and flow meters, or estimation using boiler and pipeline geometry parameters and flue gas flow rate calculation formulas. In summary, the calculation of flue gas flow rate is a crucial aspect during the design, commissioning, and operation of industrial boilers, which helps companies understand the thermal performance and environmental emissions of the boiler to adjust and optimize it.
