Methods of Firing Steam Boiler

For obtaining maximum fuel combustion efficiency it is required to complete combustion of fuel inside the boiler furnace. For that, the sufficient supply of air and proper mixing of air with fuel are primary requirements. Adequate supply of fuel particles for proper burning also to be maintained. Th

Fluidized Bed Combustion | Types and Advantages

Fluidization is a method of mixing fuel and air in a specific proportion, for obtaining combustion. A fluidized bed may be defined as the bed of solid particles behaving as a fluid. It operates on the principal that when an evenly distributed air is passed upward through a finely divided bed of soli

Pulverized Fuel Firing of Boiler

The solid-fuel firing method is inefficient to take care properly the fluctuations of the load. There is a limitation in the combustion process. Solid-fuel firing method is not stable hence not suitable for large capacity thermal power plants. The flue gases contain a large quantity of ash, and for

Steam Calculator: How To Calculate Steam Consumption

What is Steam Consumption in a Pipe? Steam consumed and steam utilized at the point of application are not equal. Normally steam consumed or generated in a steam boiler is more than what is required for use at the point of application. The difference in steam consumption and steam utilization is due

Superheated Steam and Steam Phase Diagram

Superheated Steam When saturated steam generated in steam boiler is further passed through a heat transfer surfaces, then its temperature will starts increasing above evaporation or saturation. Steam is described as super heated, if its temperature is more than that of its saturation temperature. De

Steam Dryness Fraction

What is Dryness Fraction? Steam is said to be dry saturated when at that particular pressure its temperature is equal to the boiling point. It is difficult to produce dry saturated steam in practice and steam will often contains water droplets. So steam generated in the drum of the boiler is often w

Understanding Steam Flashing and Its Applications

Steam flashing is a phenomenon that occurs when pressurized condensate is exposed to a lower pressure, causing some of the water to vaporize into steam. This process can be used to recover energy from the condensate and utilize it for various purposes. In this article, we will explain what steam fla

Water Tube Boiler | Operation and Types of Water Tube Boiler

A water tube boiler is such kind of boiler where the water is heated inside tubes and the hot gasses surround them. This is the basic definition of water tube boiler. Actually this boiler is just opposite of fire tube boiler where hot gasses are passed through tubes which are surrounded by water. Ad

Steam Boiler: Working principle and Types of Boiler

What is a Steam Boiler? A boiler (also known as a steam boiler) is a closed vessel in which fluid (typically water) is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, such as cooking, water or central h
