Condensate Recovery Systems

Condensate Recovery Systems

Introduction:

An introduction to the reasons for condensate recovery System, that including energy costing, water charges and water treatment costing and included calculations for potential savings.
Steam are mostly generated for one of two reasons
• To produce electrical power, the example in the steam power stations and co-generation plants.
• To supply the heats for heating unit and process system.
When 1kg steam condenses completely, 1kg condensate is formed at the same pressure and temperature. An efficient steam will reuse this condensate, makes non-financial, technical and environmental sense.

Saturated steam is used for heating to gives up its latent heat, which is a too large proportion of the total heat its contain. The remainder of the heat in the steam is retained in the condensate as sensible heat in fig.

Pressurised Condensate Recovery Module (PCRM) is a unique system wherein the condensate generated from your process is fed back under pressure directly to the boiler, unlike any other conventional condensate recovery system where the condensate is discharged at atmospheric pressure.

Advantages

Our PCRS ( Condensate Recovery Systems) system serves you the following advantages:

Whole condensate is recovered
No Flash steam loss
Minimal make-up water requirement
Prevents loss of mass / quantity of condensate
Reduced water treatment cost for make-up water
Reduced fuel consumption due to high feed water temperature
Increased steam output of the existing Steam Boiler
Excellent Return on investments

Why spirals are provided at the Idustrial Boiler Chimney

Chimney:- Chimney , as we know, is used to reject the flue gases to the atmosphere, coming from the Steam Boiler during operation. Also, it is a megastructure in Steam Boiler assembly and any discrepancy in its structural and foundation work can cause extremely serious damages, may even lead to casualties or plant shut off till its re-erection. The designer must consider all the factors while designing chimneys and one of the major factors amongst them is the wind factor. Blowing wind tries to overcome its static inertia but fails, if spirals are provided on the surface of the chimney. BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW????? Consider a chimneys (without spiral wings) , when the blowing wind comes in contact with its upstream surface, stagnation point (zero velocity) is achieved at that point i.e. pressure generated is high at that point and at the downstream end a vacuum is created as the wind coming in contact with the chimneys , gets deflected and meets after some point (wake regio...

Critical Thickness of Insulation and It's Effect on Boiler Efficiency

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 ...

What is Mobrey

What is Mobrey? Mobrey is the name used for the Automatic water level controller , it comes under the category of mountings and fittings of Steam Boiler Assembly . As the name suggests, it is used for maintaining the water level in the Boiler shell. It is mostly used in smoke tube steam boilers not in water tube boilers , as the shell diameter of the former is greater than that of latter irrespective of their running capacities and working pressures. We at Thermodyne Boilers had supplied and installed successfully these Mobrey (automatic water level controllers) to all our clients. For smoke tube boilers , mobrey is fitted externally on the nozzles coming out of the s team boiler shell curvature. It consists of a hollow cylindrical unit in which a float hangs. So, when the feed pump works, it supplies feed water to the boiler shell and it gets filled up. From those nozzles, the water also enters the hollow cylin...
