Boiler operating principles and safety protection

  • I. Operating principle of the boiler
    1. What is a boiler system?

    Industrial boiler systems, also known as steam boilers (Steam Boiler in English), use fuels such as coal, firewood, drums, oil, gas... to boil water to create high-temperature hot steam and great pressure. This amount of heat energy will be used to serve heat needs in many different areas.

    2. Operating principle of industrial boiler?
    When water is sucked or pumped  circulated into storage tanks and boilers. At that time, the internal heater will burn the fuel to a maximum temperature of 20000C. Then, the heater stops burning and the water will begin to evaporate to form hot steam. The heat created will be sent through pipes to deliver heat to the devices that need it.

    After a short time, when a lot of heat is released, the heat will gradually disappear and condense into water. The condensed water will continue to be returned to the boiler's water tank and this process will continue to circulate until the system is no longer needed.

    3. The boiler's accompanying equipment
    Water storage tank

    Heat exchanger

    Heating boilers

    Air dryer

    Dust filter cyclone

    Cloth bag dust filter device

    Electrostatic precipitator

    Dust suppression tower

    Dust suppression tank

    Ash settling tank

    In addition, industrial valves are indispensable equipment in boilers, specifically: safety valves, pressure reducing valves, one-way valves, gate valves, etc. The function of this device is to regulate pressure, ensuring The steam system operates safely and smoothly.

    4. Why is it mandatory to have a safety valve in the boiler system?
    The safety valve is the ultimate safety protection device. The boiler operates safely with no fire or explosion incidents occurring. If the pressure in the boiler exceeds the permissible limit for a long time, it can cause a fire or explosion, which can even cause serious damage to property and people.

    The device is always equipped with a pull handle used to release water without having to wait for the set pressure. In this case, the steam safety valve will be like a regular relief valve. To help the entire system operate most effectively.

    When installing the valve, it will be responsible for maintaining stable pressure in boiler equipment. This helps keep the entire system trouble-free and also improves work efficiency.

      Polyurethane rubberUrethane Rubber Sheet (Ti-Prene Sheet) Function ・ Mechanical Strength ・ Impact Resilience ・ Abrasion Resistance ・ Ozone Resistance ・ Oil Resistance About Urethane Rubber Sheet (Ti-Prene Sheet) Rubber-like elastic bodies obtained by the reaction of polyester or polyether with isocyanate are collectively called urethane rubber. Ti-Prene® is a trademark of our urethane rubber. Features Mechanical Strength: Due to its chemical structure, it has a strong secondary bond between molecules, so it has the highest strength among elastic bodies, and because of its high modulus, it is to be less deformed and can withstand heavy loads even with small objects. Due to its high hardness and high elongation, it is to be less susceptible to damage due to impact. Abrasion Resistance: It has more than 10 times more abrasion resistance than natural rubber. It is to be superior to metal in some conditions of use. Oil Resistance: It has excellent resistance to most oils, including petroleum-based oils. Especially excellent for mineral oil (only for use at room temperature). Heat Resistance: The using limit temperature is 70 ° C. Avoid using continuously at 70 ° C or more. Cold Resistance: It has rubber elasticity and mechanical strength even at -25 ° C or less. Water Resistance: Please avoid using it in a hot and humid environment because it has the property of being easily hydrolyzed. Ozone Resistance: It is hardly affected by ozone because it does not contain unsaturated parts in its molecular structure. Weather Resistance: Please be noted that when used outdoors for a long period of time, the effects of water, humidity, light, etc. may cause deterioration of physical properties and discoloration.
