Operating Principle of a Boiler

14/05/2024

I./Operating Principle of a Boiler and Safety Measures Operating Principle of a Boiler A boiler, also known as a steam generator, is a device that converts water into steam using heat generated from fuel combustion. This steam is then used for various industrial purposes such as heating, power generation, and running machinery. Below is a basic overview of how a boiler operates: Fuel and Combustion System: Fuel: Fuel, which can be coal, oil, gas, or biomass, is fed into the boiler's combustion chamber. Combustion: The fuel is burned in the combustion chamber, generating heat. This process requires a supply of air or oxygen to sustain combustion. Heat Transfer: Direct Heat Transfer: The heat generated from combustion is directly transferred to water through the heat exchange surfaces of water tubes or steam pipes. Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer: Heat is also transferred via radiation from the flame and convection from the combustion gases.
