Boiler Main Components
-
Drum
– Fabricated pressure vessel (e.g. horizontal shell type). -
Evaporators / Steam Separators
– Primary and secondary evaporator banks to promote water–steam separation. -
Economizer
– Tube bundle recovering flue‐gas heat to preheat feedwater. -
Superheater (optional)
– Increases steam dryness and temperature if required by process.
Auxiliary Equipment
Combustion & Air Supply
-
Burner
– Sized for fuel type (gas, oil, coal) and boiler firing rate. -
Forced‐draft Fan (FD)
– Supplies combustion air; sized to match burner throughput. -
Induced‐draft Fan (ID)
– Draws flue gas through furnace and exhaust stack.
Feedwater & Drainage
-
Feedwater Pump(s)
– Typically two pumps (one duty, one standby), e.g. QDL12-70 or similar. -
Steam Traps / Drain Traps
– Automatic traps (2–4 units) to discharge condensate from heat‐transfer surfaces. -
Steam Distributor / Header
– Ensures even steam distribution to process lines.
Safety & Measurement Instruments
-
Safety Valve(s)
– Spring‐loaded, set slightly above maximum working pressure (one or two units). -
Pressure Gauges
– For steam and feedwater sides (range matched to operating pressure). -
Water‐Level Gauge Assembly
– Glass tube or magnetic gauge with high/low level alarms. -
Thermocouples / Thermometers
– Measure furnace gas temperature and steam outlet temperature.
Control & Automation
-
Burner Management System (BMS)
– Controls ignition, flame monitoring, and safe shutdown sequences. -
PLC Control Panel
– Centralized monitoring of all boiler parameters, alarms, and interlocks. -
Sensors & Transmitters
– Pressure transducers, temperature sensors, flow meters, and level probes.
Piping & Valves
-
Control / Modulating Valves
– For steam pressure reduction, temperature control, and fuel/air ratio. -
Blowdown Valves (TDS Blowdown)
– Periodic removal of dissolved solids (one or two valves). -
Check Valves
– Prevent backflow in feedwater, steam, and condensate lines. -
Isolation Valves
– Gate valves, globe valves, and ball valves for system shutdown and maintenance.
Water Treatment
-
Water Softener
– Ion‐exchange resin system with duplex (one service, one regenerating). -
Deaerator
– Thermally strips dissolved gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide) from feedwater. -
Filters
– Cartridge or sand filters to protect pumps and valves from particulates.
Miscellaneous Accessories
-
Silencers
– Installed on flue‐gas outlets of ID/FD fans to reduce noise. -
Installation Fittings
– Flanges, gaskets, bolts, nuts, anchors, supports. -
Thermal Insulation
– Mineral wool or ceramic fiber with aluminum cladding for piping and boiler casing.
