Welcome to the THERMODYNE BLOG, today in this article we are going to explore the thickness of insulation and its effect on boiler efficiency and other parameters. Critical thickness of insulation and its significance The information in this article gives a significant collection of data you need to know about the boiler and its performance, the parameter that affects the boiler efficiency . Table of content INTRODUCTION THICKNESS OF INSULATION CRITICAL RADIUS EFFECT ON BOILER EFFIIENCY INSULATING MATERIALS CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION- The thickness up to which heat flow increases and after which heat flow decreases is termed critical thickness . In the case of cylinders and spheres, it is called the critical radius . The critical radius of insulation can be derived depending on the thermal conductivity of the insulation k and the external convection heat ...
Thermal Capacity: 50kg/hr to 1320 kg/hr operating Mode: Automatic Firing mechanism: Electric Resistant Heating Application: Industrial use Electric steam Boiler Introduction An Electric Boiler is a Boiler which operates using electricity rather than a combustible fossil fuel such as gas or oil boilers, these are also known as electrically heated boilers. Electric Boilers are 100% efficient, meaning if you pay for 1kW of electricity, you will receive 1kW of heat in electric boilers. Electrically heated boilers make use of electric current running through a heating element to create heat, to boil water into high-temperature and high-pressure steam. They can be classified into the automatically controlled and the manually controlled types. The designs of both types are similar with some common accessories, such as the safety valve, pressure gauge, water gauge, valves, pressure switch and low water level alarm. Automatically controlled electrically heated...
