Comparison of Atmospheric Pressure Hot Water Boiler and Vacuum Hot Water Boiler

Basic Principles

1. Atmospheric pressure hot water boiler

Atmospheric pressure hot water boiler is also called non-pressure hot water boiler. The drum is filled with water and heated by direct combustion in the furnace to form hot water. It belongs to the category of civil domestic boilers. The atmospheric pressure hot water boiler is a non-pressure hot water boiler with an air vent on the top and the boiler body is always in a normal pressure operation state. Its main feature is that the boiler is not under pressure and has no potential safety hazards. , mainly used for heating and production of hot water, is one of our more common boiler varieties.

Advantages: simple to manufacture and easy to install; the boiler is directly vented to the atmosphere, which is safer than the pressure boiler;

Disadvantages: The boiler system cannot directly supply heat because it cannot bear pressure. It needs to be equipped with accessories such as external heat exchangers. The cost of the system is high; the startup is slow and the preheating time is long; after the boiler is scaled, the thermal efficiency decreases year by year, and the service life generally does not exceed 8-10 year;

2. Vacuum hot water boiler

The vacuum boiler forms a negative pressure vacuum environment inside the closed furnace body, and fills the heat medium water in the body. The heat medium water is heated by combustion or other methods, and the heat medium water is heated to generate steam, and the steam heats the water in the heat exchanger tubes through condensation heat exchange to realize the supply of hot water.

Advantages: high thermal efficiency, the boiler will never scale, and achieve semi-permanent life (more than 20 years); fast start-up, small preheating loss; multi-channel water supply, multi-purpose for one machine; negative pressure operation, safer.

Disadvantages: high manufacturing requirements; hot water outlet temperature up to 90 ℃.

Comparison of heating systems

1. The hot water supply system of the atmospheric hot water boiler is adopted:

According to the current national standards and specifications, the atmospheric pressure hot water boiler is not allowed to bear pressure when it is in operation. In order to meet the usage requirements when the heating system is running, it can only be made up by configuring other auxiliary equipment in the system to make it perfect. System Features:

a. The system is complex, with many equipment and control systems, which are prone to failures and cumbersome operations (requires full-time personnel);

b. There are many auxiliary equipment, high installation requirements, large floor space, and increased initial investment;

c. The number of intermediate heat exchanges is large, the heat loss of the system is large, the operating cost is high, and the thermal efficiency of the system is low (about 80%);

d. The maintenance cost is high, and the service life of the boiler equipment is short (about 8 years);

e. The water temperature of the hot water tank cannot be controlled, the water temperature is not constant, and the water temperature of the hot water supply system fluctuates greatly.

2. The hot water supply system of vacuum hot water unit is adopted:

According to the structural characteristics of the vacuum hot water unit, the state expressly stipulates that it is not a special equipment, can withstand pressure (standard pressure 1.0Mpa) during operation, and can be directly connected to the system for use. System Features:

a. The system is simple and reliable, and the operation is convenient (unmanned operation is possible);

b. Less equipment configuration, low installation requirements, small footprint, and low initial investment;

c. The intermediate heat exchange loss is almost zero, the operating cost is low, and the thermal efficiency of the system is high (over 90%);

d. Maintenance is simple, the cost is low, and the service life of the unit equipment is long (up to 20 years);

What are the functions of industrial steam boilers? How does a steam boiler work?

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the industry, the scope of application of steam boilers in the industry is becoming more and more extensive. Today, what the editor wants to introduce to you is what are the functions of steam boilers? Follow me below to find out!

How a steam boiler works:
Its working principle is that the heating equipment releases heat, which is absorbed by the water-cooled wall through radiation heat transfer, and the water in the water-cooled wall boils and vaporizes, generating a large amount of steam into the steam drum for steam-water separation, and the separated saturated steam enters the superheater. The method continues to absorb the heat of the flue gas protecting the top of the furnace, the horizontal flue and the tail flue, and makes the superheated steam reach the required working temperature.

A simple understanding is to boil hot water, the pot is equal to the kettle for water, the stove is equal to the stove to burn fuel, and the water in the pot absorbs the heat energy after the fuel is burned in the furnace and converts it into steam.

The role of the steam boiler:
Steam boilers can play an important role in production and daily life. Steam boilers have a sterilizing effect in food processing, medical industry and canning industry.

In the school canteen, food processing, brewing and other industries, the function of the steam boiler is to steam the food, and it can also steam the embryo for brewing.

In school bathhouses, students' daily drinking hot water, hotel hot water supply, hotel hot water supply, bathing halls and other places, the function of the steam boiler is to exchange the heat of the steam to the water through the heat exchanger. After heating the water, there are heating, hot water supply, bathing, production, etc.

In refineries, chemical plants and other places, steam boilers can increase fluidity by heating them. Steam boilers are also used in their production.

In addition to the above points, the use of steam boilers in the production industry is also very extensive.

Precautions for using steam boilers:
Units using steam boilers also need to pay attention that steam boilers must be inspected every year. Only if the inspection results of the relevant departments are qualified, they can continue to be used. If they are not qualified, they will be required to be replaced.

The annual inspection of the steam boiler is mainly to check the condition of the drum. There is no bulge in the drum, and the pit depth of oxygen corrosion does not exceed the specified value.

The above is the relevant information about the steam boiler brought to you today. I hope it will help you to understand the boiler and learn more about the boiler. Follow the Fangkuai Boiler website to show you more about the boiler.

For steam boilers, what does "evaporation capacity" mean?

When purchasing a steam boiler, it is best for users to have a certain understanding of the various parameters of the boiler. This will not only ensure that the appropriate boiler model is purchased, but also will not be deceived by bad boiler manufacturers and lose costs in vain. For steam boilers, "evaporation capacity" is a relatively important parameter, Zhengzhou Fangkuai Boiler Factory will come to show you.

The amount of steam produced by a steam boiler per hour is called the boiler’s evaporation, also known as "output" or "capacity". It is represented by the symbol "D", and the commonly used unit is t/h.
       The boiler evaporation capacity is divided into rated evaporation capacity, economic evaporation capacity and maximum continuous evaporation capacity.
       (1) Rated evaporating capacity The steam boiler uses the fuel specified in the design under the rated steam pressure, the rated steam temperature, and the rated feed water temperature, and the evaporative capacity per hour specified when the efficiency is guaranteed. The evaporation capacity indicated on the metal nameplate of the boiler product is the rated evaporation capacity of the boiler.
       (2) Economic evaporation capacity In continuous operation of the steam boiler, the evaporation capacity at the highest efficiency is called economic evaporation capacity. The economic evaporation is about 75% to 80% of the rated evaporation.
       (3) Maximum continuous evaporation The maximum evaporation that the steam boiler can achieve during long-term continuous operation under the conditions of rated steam parameters, rated feed water temperature and use of the designed fuel is called the maximum continuous evaporation. At this time, the efficiency of the boiler will be reduced, so try to avoid the boiler running under the maximum continuous evaporation capacity.

Properly use softened water treatment to extend the service life of industrial boilers at least 5 ye

For the water flowing into the industrial boiler, it must be softened, which can effectively reduce the formation of scale, which is good for the long-term operation of the boiler. The Zhengzhou Fangkuai Boiler Factory said that the correct use of softened water treatment prolongs the service life of industrial boilers by at least 5 years.

There are many ways to soften industrial boiler water, but the most common method is ion exchange. The characteristic of ion exchangers is that the resin must be regenerated frequently;

A. When the hardness of the effluent water exceeds the standard, it must be stopped and regenerated;

B. The method of cation resin regeneration is to soak the resin in salt water for about two hours, let the salt water dry, and then backflush with clean water, you can continue to use it;

C. The method of judging whether the exchange resin is invalid (when must be regenerated) is very simple:

Wash your hands with a piece of soap in the raw water (water before treatment). Use the same method to wash your hands in the finished water after treatment. Compare the feel of the two washes. If the water is soft, the hands are very slippery, and the soap always washes. No, the processor is normal at this time and does not need to be regenerated. On the contrary, if the two feels are the same, it means that the processor has failed and can be regenerated at this time.

 

D. Other types of processors can also use this method to adjust the amount of salt or other regeneration parameters.

What are the more mainstream boiler equipment in use now?

There are many types of boilers, which are used in various industries and have corresponding uses and characteristics. What are the more mainstream boiler equipment currently in use? How to choose a boiler as a boiler user? Zhengzhou Fangkuai Boiler Factory summarizes the following types of boiler equipment.

1. Oil and gas boiler
       Advantages: Efficient, clean, environmentally friendly, no manual operation is required, only monitoring is required, less area, no transportation fuel, no need to dispose of coal ash, because natural gas is burned without impurities, there is no corrosion to the boiler and related accessories, and the boiler has a long life , The stipulation is 15 years, but basically it can be used for a long time. It is now the mainstream boiler, and natural gas is also vigorously promoted by the environmental protection department and the government.

2. Coal-fired boiler
       Advantages: The boiler purchase cost is low.
       Disadvantages: 1. Coal yard and coal ash require a large amount of land.
       2. Furnace workers need 4 to 8 people for a boiler.
       3. The boiler room and coal yard are very dirty.
       4. It is noisy and emits a lot of dust, which disturbs the people.
       5. The environmental protection department will often come to check. If you don't pay attention, it will be found that the emission exceeds the standard, the furnace will be shut down for maintenance, and the fine will be very troublesome.
       6. Coal contains a lot of sulphur, which corrodes the boiler heavily, and it is basically unusable after 10 to 15 years.

Coal-fired boilers have serious air pollution. As the country pays more and more attention to environmental protection issues, the emission requirements for coal-fired boilers are stricter. Many urban areas have stopped the approval procedures for coal-fired boilers.

Therefore, Zhengzhou Fangkuai Boiler Factory still recommends that you install a natural gas boiler. Although you use a little more fuel cost, in the actual operation process, you can save a lot of things, while saving land, and the environment is clean.
