What types of fuel can be used for a boiler?

Boilers can use a variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, oil, coal, and biomass. Additionally, some modern boilers are designed to utilize renewable energy sources, such as wood pellets or solar power. The choice of fuel often depends on availability, cost, and the specific requirements of the heating system. Electric boilers are also an option, using electricity as the sole energy source.

What is supercritical boiler?

The following extract taken from an article by Ingo Paul in Energy Issues No 19 April 1999 published by the World Bank [external link] briefly describes the difference between a subcritical and a supercritical boiler. "Supercritical" is a thermodynamic expression describing the state of a substance where there is no clear distinction between the liquid and the gaseous phase (i.e. they are a homogenous fluid). Water reaches this state at a pressure above 22.1 megapascals (MPa) The "efficiency" of the thermodynamic process of a coal fired power (sic) describes how much of the energy fed into the cycle is converted into electrical energy. The greater the output of electrical energy for a given amount of energy input, the higher the efficiency. If the energy input to the cycle is kept constant, the output can be increased by selecting elevated pressures and temperatures for the water-steam cycle. Up to an operating pressure of around 19 MPa in the evaporator part of the boiler, the cycle is sub-critical. This means, that there is a non-homogeneous mixture of water and steam in the evaporator part of the boiler. In this case a drum-type boiler is used because the steam needs to be separated from water in the drum of the boiler before it is superheated and led into the turbine. Above an operating pressure of 22.1 MPa in the evaporator part of the boiler, the cycle is supercritical. The cycle medium is a single phase fluid with homogeneous properties and there is no need to separate steam from water in a drum. Once-through boilers are therefore used in supercritical cycles. www.whizkris.com

How is thermal energy used in maufacturing industrial applications?

Thermal energy is used in manufacturing industrial applications for processes like melting, molding, and heat treatment of materials. It is also used in powering machinery, such as boilers and furnaces, to generate heat for various manufacturing processes. Additionally, thermal energy can be utilized for drying materials and controlling the temperature in industrial facilities.

What are the differences between high pressure and low pressure boilers?

High pressure boilers operate at pressures above 15 psi, while low pressure boilers operate at pressures below 15 psi. High pressure boilers typically require more maintenance and inspection due to the higher pressures involved, while low pressure boilers are generally simpler and less expensive to maintain. Additionally, high pressure boilers are typically used in industrial applications where higher steam temperatures are required, while low pressure boilers are commonly used for heating and residential purposes.
