10 Questions
Explain the function of a boiler in the process of steam generation.
The function of a boiler is to transfer the heat generated from the chemical energy in the fuel to the contained water in the most efficient manner to generate high-quality steam for plant use.
What are the methods through which heat is transferred to the boiler water in the boiler furnace?
Heat is transferred to the boiler water through radiation, conduction, and convection in the boiler furnace.
List three plant uses for the steam generated in the boiler.
The steam generated in the boiler is used for turbine drive for electric generating equipment, heating for direct contact for equipment and comfort, and process for direct contact with products.
Why are only specific impurities eliminated from the water used in boilers for steam generation?
Only those impurities which lead to operational troubles in boilers are eliminated or kept within the tolerable limits, as not all impurities in the water lead to operational issues.
What is the recommended hardness level for boiler-feed water?
The hardness of boiler-feed water should be below 0 to correspond with the recommended composition.
What is the primary function of a boiler in the process of steam generation?
To transfer heat from the fuel to water efficiently
How is heat primarily transferred to the boiler water in the boiler furnace?
Radiation, conduction, and convection
What is the main purpose of generating steam in a boiler for industrial and power house use?
Turbine drive for electric generating equipment, heating, and processing
Why are only specific impurities eliminated or controlled in boiler-feed water?
To prevent operational troubles in boilers
What should be the hardness level of boiler-feed water according to the recommended composition?
Below 0.
