What is a Combi Boiler?

Image
By
A combi boiler or combination boiler is the most commonly used boiler in the India. Combi Boiler is a unique membrane design water wall type boiler which combines the advantages of both water tube & smoke tube steam boilers. A combination type of steam boiler is the one which has the operational characteristics of both smoke tube and water tube steam boiler respectively. Unlike the packaged type Boilers, here the furnace is external to the boiler shell. During its operation, the combustion takes place in the water wall so the flue gases from here travel in this membrane (as in a Water Tube Boiler) and enter the Boiler shell. Now the flue gases travel in the smoke tubes (as in a Smoke Tube Boiler).
Combi Boilers

During its course of motion, it transfers heat to the –
  • Water present in the tubes in the Water Wall Membrane
  • Water present in the Boiler shell through tubes
This type of steam boiler offers the high degree of reliability and trouble free operation. They effectively operate at moderately high pressures and steam flow capacities, unlike packaged type smoke tube boilers.

    Wonderful blog! Very nice explained about combi boiler. A combi boiler is also very energy-efficient & cost-effective as water is heated instantly rather than heated and then stored in a cylinder until needed. An additional benefit is that hot water is delivered at mains pressure, which means your shower should be much more powerful without the need for a separate pump. Thank for sharing this informative content with us.

Why spirals are provided at the Idustrial Boiler Chimney

By
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...

SENSIBLE HEAT & LATENT HEAT

By
SENSIBLE HEAT Sensible heat produces a rise or fall in temperature of substance Sensible heat does not change physical state of substance LATENT HEAT Latent heat changes the state of substance i.e. Liquid to Gas, Solid to Liquid and Liquid to Solid in case of boiler . Latent heat does not cause temperature change in the substance

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

By
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 ...
