A boiler designed to get 5000 kg/hr steam for & at,100-degree Celcius at mean water level won't offer a similar quantity of steam if shifted to an elevated place. it'll provide less steam. Due to reduced air density at higher altitude, it'll consume a similar volume of air however won't consume a similar mass of air. This leads to less fuel consumption & less steam generation rate. Due to the reduction of mass flow of gases through tubes of a boiler, convective heat transfer also decreases that more leads to reduced evaporation rates. Combustion could be a method that desires the constant air provide for its survival, however as we move up the world i.e. at higher altitudes, things aren’t a similar as they used to be at sea level. The oxygen content in the air reduces exponentially. not like body, a boiler doesn’t acclimatise itself to this shortage. Though the Blower provides a similar volume of air the reduced density of air (oxygen to be ...
