What is a pressure boiler?
The boilers which produces steam of pressure 80 bar or more than 80 bar are called high pressure boilers.
HOW OFTEN Should you blow down a boiler?
ANSWER: If it's a steam boiler: Once a month. If it's a forced hot water boiler-You don't have to. You'll only be adding more air into the system causing more noise.
How superheater work?
A superheater is a component in a steam-generating boiler that increases the temperature of steam above its saturation point. This is achieved by passing the steam through a series of tubes located in the boiler's combustion chamber, where it absorbs additional heat energy from the combustion gases. Superheated steam is dryer, more stable, and has higher energy content than saturated steam, making it more efficient for various industrial processes.
Which is more correct firefighters or firemen?
Firefighter because a fireman is the person who shovels coal or tosses wood in to the furnace of a boiler and maintains the heat of a fire on a steam powered ship, boat, train, or other steam powered device.
Why water is only used for produce the steam in boiler?
only water is used in boilers to reduce the cost. and if other liquid like petrochemicals will be used than the cost will be more and there will be the higher risk because if the boiler bursts than it will cause more damage than water boiler.
What was unique about the 1906 2 cylinder Stanley race car?
Steam. Although the 1906 Stanley race car was much more streamlined than other race cars of its time, the car was steam powered. Its steam engine and boiler arrangement allowed it to have a streamlined cigar shape that coould not be achieved by cars with more typical engines.
How can you increase steam pressure?
To increase steam pressure, you can raise the temperature of the water in the boiler, as steam pressure is directly related to temperature according to the ideal gas law. Additionally, using a more efficient boiler design can help contain and maintain higher pressures. Increasing the amount of water in the system can also help, as it allows for more steam generation while maintaining pressure. Lastly, reducing the volume of the steam space can lead to higher pressure levels.
Why steam is superheated?
superheated steam produces greater pressure and power and can go very long distances by itself compared to regular steam. +++ Not quite. The pressure is no more than that at which it was generated in the boiler, because it is flowing through the superheater to the engine (reciprocating or turbine) - and indeed may be less if throttled through the regulator on the boiler outlet first. I'm not sure where "distance" comes from, but superheating raises the efficiency rather than power, by keeping the steam above its condensation temperature for the instantaneous pressure it passes through in expanding to do its work. This means it can act as a gas for a longer part of the piston stroke, or for further in its route through the many stages of a steam-turbine.
Radiators are cold on second floor source of heat is a oil fired boiler?
The fuel does not matter, it would be more relevant to post if you are hot water or steam, that is where your problem lies. If steam try raising the boiler cutout pressure a little bit and if hot water look at the boiler pressure, does the pump work, is the coupling broken and do you have air in the system that needs to be bled?
What is the effect of steam turbine control valve throttling in turbine efficiency?
In Boiler follow turbine mode , Boiler produces a constant pressure behind throttling valve and throttling valve adjusts necessary pressure and required steam as High Pressure steam for entering the turbine . In Valves Wide Open (VWO) mode the efficiency is maximum and we haven't any loss. (It's nearly 106% Turbine MCR) . In Turbine MCR , we have a little loss and consequently a little bit worse heat rate . In partial load , loss is more and efficiency worse.
What happens to the steam after it has been used in the fossil fuel power station?
The steam used in a fossil fuel power station is condensed back into water after it has passed through the turbines. This water can then be reused in the boiler to produce more steam for generating electricity.
How does a pop pop boat work?
A pop pop boat is powered by a very simple heat engine. This engine consists of a small boiler, which is connected to an exhaust tube. When heat is applied to the boiler, water in the boiler flashes into steam. The expanding steam pushes some of the water in the exhaust tube, propelling the boat forward. The steam bubble then condenses, creating a vacuum which draws water back in through the exhaust tube. The cooled water that is brought back into the boiler is then heated and flashed into steam, and the cycle repeats. This constant flashing and cooling cycle of the engine creates the distinctive "pop pop" noise for which the boat is named. This noise is more pronounced when a diaphragm type boiler is used. Coil type boilers are much quieter.
