Analysis of Boiler Efficiency

Abstract

A boiler (heat producer) is like the heart of a car, this provides the necessary heat that the facility needs to warm itself up. There are two types of boilers: Fire-tube and water-tube. In fire-tube boilers, combustion gases pass through the inside of the tubes while water surrounds the tubes. In a water-tube boiler, the water pass through the inside of the tubes and combustion gases surrounds the tubes. Data of boiler thermal efficiency can replicate the boiler operation condition, heat creation and loss. Performance of the boiler, like efficiency reduces over time, due to underprivileged combustion, heat transfer fouling and underprivileged operation and maintenance. Boiler efficiency can also be useful in examination of boiler and can also be used in analytical maintenance of the boiler. How to reduce problems of the boiler efficiency computation and be thriving in calculating the boiler thermal efficiency on line is the main distress of operation departments of power systems. The efficiency is calculated by direct method and the boiler under study if fire-tube boiler. Fuel used is briquettes.
