    Introduction to Steam Generating Unit (Boiler)

    Introduction to Steam Generating Unit (Boiler) A boiler is a closed vessel in which steam is produced from water by combustion of fuel. How a Boiler works:: Water is pumped into the boiler at operating pressure Heat of flue gases vaporizes water to form steam Steam formed is passed into steam space above the water space Applications of steam generatorss (Boilerss)) The steam generators or boilers are integral components of steam turbines which are used as prime movers to drive generators to produce electricity in all thermal and nuclear power plants. These are used in the industry for example in heating systems or for cement production, textiles. These are used to produce distilled water for medicines, pharmaceuticals and other usage. The boilers are used in cold countries for heating large buildings, in agriculture as well for soil steaming. Components of a steam generator (Boiler) Boiler drum, tubes, furnace Boiler mountings Boiler Accessories Boiler mountings are devices which are required for proper operation, safety and control of the boiler. Examples ar ee water level indicator (WLI), pressure gauges (PGs), steam stop valve, safety valves, fusible plug, feed-check valve, blow-off cock, manhole and mudhole, etc. Boiler accessories are devices which are used to increase the efficiency of a boiler. Examples are air preheater, economizer , ss, uperheater , feedpump or injector, baffles, etc.. Boiler classification: 1.1. Tube content: (i) Fire tube boiler and (ii) water tube boiler 2.2.

  • Steam Power Plant

    Steam Power Plant

    www.getmyuni.com Steam Power Plant A power plant is assembly of systems or subsystems to generate electricity, i.e., power with economy and requirements. The power plant itself must be useful economically and environmental friendly to the society. The present book is oriented to conventional as well as non-conventional energy generation. While the stress is on energy efficient system regards conventional power systems viz., to increase the system conversion efficiency the supreme goal is to develop, design, and manufacturer the non-conventional power generating systems in coming decades preferably after 2050 AD which are conducive to society as well as having feasible energy conversion efficiency and non-friendly to pollution, keeping in view the pollution act. The subject as a whole can be also stated as modern power plants for power viz electricity generation in 21st century. The word modern means pertaining to time. At present due to energy crisis the first goal is to conserve energy for future while the second step is todevelop alternative energy systems including direct energy conversion devices, with the devotion, dedication and determination remembering the phrase, “Delve and Delve Again till wade into”.

  • Hydraulic Valve Remote Control System

    Hydraulic Valve Remote Control System

    HYDRAULIC VALVE REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM OVERVIEW Nordic Flow Control’s compact design for our Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Systems does not compromise on power. Our systems operate at a higher torque level even with our smaller actuators. Submerged applications are available, and maintenance is possible even during operation. By having a hand pump in a deck box with solenoid valves, manual operations are now possible. Our Hydraulic Valve Remote Control Systems are tried and tested in the harshest conditions. The system consists of the hydraulic actuator, a power unit, solenoid valve cabinet, and the control station with operating system. Our actuators and control systems are able to match and operate valves with no limitations. BENEFITS • Able to operate bigger size valves with smaller actuators • Able to use for submerged applications • Cost efficient • Reliable • Able to operate at hazardous areas • Simplicity of design and control Nordic Flow Control Valve Remote Control Systems 1 COMPONENTS ACTUATORS Nordic Flow Control’s actuators are manufactured using sophisticated machinery in our own production plant. They convert hydraulic energy directly into a mechanical rotating movement by using the rack and pinion principle, elimi- nating cost from intensive servicing, maintenance and the sensitivity of transmission elements. Our actuators are created for durability, performance and cost effectiveness. Our new NRA series actuators are now more compact and provide higher torque at even smaller sizes. They have a longer life span, with higher efficiency. Polymer bearings for smaller actuators and ball bearings for bigger actuators are used to reduce friction between the parts. Mounting is according to ISO5211 standards, but can be customised to meet other requirements.
  • NBIC Pressure Relief Device (PRD) Inspection Guide

    NBIC Pressure Relief Device (PRD) Inspection Guide

    NBIC Pressure Relief Device (PRD) Inspection Guide This guide provides a basis for NBIC Inspectors use in reviewing Pressure Relief Devices (PRD’s) for compliance with the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC). It is only intended to provide general guidance, and must be used in conjunction with NBIC, Part 2 for specific details of inspection. 1. Description and Overview Pressure relief devices are used to provide a means of venting excess pressure which could rupture a boiler or pressure vessel. A pressure relief device is the last line of defense for safety. If all other safety devices or operating controls fail, the pressure relief device must be capable of venting excess pressure. 2. Types of Devices There are many types of pressure relief devices available for use in the boiler and pressure vessel industry. This inspector guide will address the most common devices found on boilers and pressure vessels. Virtually all jurisdictions require a pressure relief device to be manufactured and certified in accordance with the ASME Code in addition to being capacity certified by the National Board. The most common types of pressure relief devices are: Pressure Relief Valve – A pressure relief device designed for emergency or abnormal over pressure conditions and designed to reclose after the pressure has been reduced. Safety Valve – This device is typically used for steam or vapor service. It operates automatically with a full-opening pop action and recloses when the pressure drops to a value consistent with the blowdown requirements prescribed by the applicable governing code or standard. Relief Valve – This device is typically used for liquid service.

    BASIS SAFETY CONTROLS for HOT WATER and LOW-PRESSURE STEAM BOILERS By: Tom Vana, Factory Representative, Mcdonnell & Miller, Inc

    Service Application Manual SAM Chapter 630-36 Section 20 BASIS SAFETY CONTROLS FOR HOT WATER AND LOW-PRESSURE STEAM BOILERS By: Tom Vana, Factory Representative, McDonnell & Miller, Inc. HOT WATER SPACE HEATING BOILERS SAFTETY RELIEF VALVES Good engineering tells us that every hot water boiler must have a safety relief valve that will keep the pressure at or below the maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler. But until recently the methods of accomplishing this objective were not clearly understood. Figure 70F51A shows one method of attempting to provide protection against over-pressure which is unsafe for these reasons: 1. The relief valve does not comply with the ASME Boiler code requirements. 2. Its capacity is unknown. 3. It is installed in the wrong location. 4. It can inadvertently be isolated from the boiler due to lime or scale build-up in boiler feed line. 5. The function of a relief valve has nothing in common with a pressure reducing type fill valve. A combination of the two units is based on price consideration—not performance. The first basic step in providing correct safety control for a hot water boiler is to make sure that an ASME relief valve is installed. The ASME Code states: “Every hot water heating boiler shall have at least one officially rated pressure relief valve set to relieve at or below the maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler… Relief valve shall be connected to the Copyright © 1966, 2009, By Refrigeration Service Engineers Society. -1- top of boilers with the spindle vertical if possible…. No shutoff of any description shall be placed between the relief valve and the boiler, nor on the discharge pipe between such valve and the atmosphere.” Figure 70F51B shows the correct and safe installation of the relief valve.
  • Guide to Injectors

    Guide to Injectors

    Advanced Guide to Injectors A little bit here on injectors may be helpful. These are small units that put water into the boiler by using boiler steam against boiler pressure. These are magic, but can often be temperamental and certainly many will not work with warm water. To start, turn on cold water until it flows out of the injector overflow, then turn on the steam slowly and the flow of water should stop. If at first they do not pick up, then shut off the steam and start the process again. Some injectors work better at higher pressures and some at lower, (The size of the internal steam cone makes a difference). You have to get to know which pressure range your injector works best at. To make the injector work you need a good flow of cold water, it is essential that there are no leaks on the suction side as this will draw in air and stop the injector working. NEVER use anything to poke in the steam cones to clean them. Always use a liquid solvent to do this job. Some people even immerse them in coke a cola to clean them and that certainly works, More on Water Levels A word about the hatching may help those that do not know. If a piece of white card or indeed anything painted white is placed behind the gauge glass that has black lines at a 45 degree angle across all the way up it. With this it will show the exact water level very easily. If water is present in the glass when viewed from the front, the lines will show up as straight not angled.

He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history.
