In the context of the rapid development of industry, it is necessary to use heated substances for production activities, and the greatest use is found in water in a vapor state. Steam generators and steam boilers are used to generate steam. The PC Potential plant in Oryol produces steam generators used in various industries and spheres of activity .
General understanding of steam generating equipment
The word steam generator usually means a whole set of equipment: air heaters, economizers, steam superheaters. The steam capacity of such a plant is more than 4500 t /h, and steam is produced at pressures of up to 100 bar. In addition to high performance, one of the advantages of steam generators is a quick exit to operating mode. Industrial steam generators are used in food, woodworking and chemical industries. They are also widespread in everyday life, used in car washes and Turkish baths.
Steam boilers generate saturated steam, during the combustion of fossil fuels, and thanks to the continuous flow of water. This device is often used in various industries: food, construction, oil and gas, and marine vessels.
Among other things, this steam is used to heat buildings. The steam boiler capacity is up to 25 t /h. The steam is generated at a pressure of 0.7 to 20 bar. Steam boilers need a special composition of water, therefore, a prerequisite for the operation of the boiler is water treatment. This function is available in every steam generating equipment. Steam boilers are considered to be more flexible than steam generators, but they tend to be larger.
Hot water boilers. This device is a boiler for heating water under pressure, it is not allowed to boil. Hot water boilers are used mainly for private heat supply. They are also used at CHP plants, but, as a rule, to reserve heat from the turbine extractions.
When choosing steam generating equipment, you need to take into account the main characteristics. Pay attention to steam performance and determine which fuel is best to use
