Boiler breakdowns can be a costly occurrence in terms of both equipment repair and lost production. Regular boiler maintenance is critical to helping prevent such outages and maximizing boiler efficiency. In this blog, we explore some of the key areas that should be checked to ensure continuous, trouble-free boiler operation. Safety Valves – Safety valves Keep reading…
Boiler efficiency is a measure of the total energy input to a boiler vs. its total energy output. In effect, it is an indication of the energy losses encountered during boiler operation through radiation, convection and inefficient combustion. There are a number of factors that contribute to energy loss and boiler inefficiency. Some of these Keep reading…
Boiler efficiency can be calculated a number of different ways. One method is by taking the amount of heat captured and transferred to the water, and dividing by the total generated heat. If not transferred to the water the heat is considered lost and efficiency is reduced. Types of combustion losses include: Blowdown Heat Losses Keep reading…
The fuel feed system is a vital performance component of any low-emission boiler. In addition to supplying fuel, a properly designed fuel feed system ensures consistent and reliable combustion by distributing fuel within the boiler. The form and type of fuel also plays an important part in a boiler’s performance and operation. Gaseous fuels, for Keep reading…
Choosing the Right Boiler for Your Operation Choosing the right boiler for an operation will ultimately be dictated by the heating requirements of the application and/or process, as well as project-specific factors, such as emissions, efficiency, location, cost, and access to available fuel sources. In every case, ensuring that the boiler has been expertly designed Keep reading…
