Boiler Economizer: What is it? (Function & Construction)

What Does an Economizer Do in a Boiler A boiler economizer (also known as an economizer ) are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy consumption or perform a useful function such as preheating a fluid. A boiler economizer is essentially a heat exchanger that makes a system more energy efficien

Stirling Boiler

Stirling Boiler is one of the most basic variety of bent tube boiler. In most of the modern thermal power generating plants we use bent tube boiler. Stirling Boiler is one of the largest capacity boiler. A Stirling Boiler can generate as high as 50,000 kg steam per hour and can produce pressure as h

Fire Tube Boiler: A Comprehensive Guide

A fire tube boiler is a type of boiler that uses hot gases from a fire to heat water inside a series of tubes. The tubes are surrounded by water in a sealed container. The heat from the gases transfers through the walls of the tubes by thermal conduction, creating steam that can be used for various

Fire Detection and Alarm System

Introduction of Fire Detection and Alarm System Fire detectors are designed to detect one or more of the three characteristics of fire-smoke, heat and flame. Besides it every fire detection system must include manual call points (break glass), so that in the event of fire can be of immediate help. D

Medium Velocity Water Spray (MVWS) System

An MVWS system (short for a Medium Velocity Water Spray System ) is a water-based fire protection system. MVWS systems are used to provide cooling and/or control the burning in many large scale industrial applications, such as in thermal power plants . As their name suggests, medium velocity water s

Theory of Wind Turbine and Betz Coefficient

For determining power extracted from wind by wind turbine we have to assume an air duct as shown in the figure. It is also assumed that the velocity of the wind at the inlet of the duct is V 1 and velocity of air at the outlet of the duct is V 2 . Say, mass m of the air is passed through this imagin

Working Principle of Wind Turbine

How Does Wind Turbine Work? There is an air turbine of large blades attached on the top of a supporting tower of sufficient height. When wind strikes on the turbine blades, the turbine rotates due to the design and alignment of rotor blades. The shaft of the turbine is coupled with an electrical gen
