What's this?
It is generally believed that a boiler room refers to a room or large building that contains a large amount of heated water or other cooling water. However, this explanation is far from the truth. In fact, it is not just a building or room with a boiler, but an entire complex around the boiler, in which dozens and sometimes hundreds of different devices are working.
Such systems are usually divided into the following categories
heating;
heating and industry;
Industrial type only.
Heating mains or steam pipes are used to communicate with consumers. In some cases, both options can be used. In any case, all components of the boiler are technically connected and designed to solve specific problems. The most common choice is fossil fuels, with little heat being gained from the combustion of organic fuels. In some cases, heat is generated using electricity or other heating methods.
Basic Requirements
All large boilers responsible for heating micro-areas or larger areas operate on a strict temperature schedule. It shows the compatibility between the temperature at which the heat carrier is heated and the surrounding air temperature. In any case, they are working towards the goal of keeping the temperature in heated buildings everywhere at at least +18 degrees.
But unreasonable hot water or steam backflow usually indicates excessive coolant flow or overheating.
The so-called thermal balance of equipment is very important. In effect, this means that the amount of heat entering the boiler is equal to the amount of heat it consumes. However, it should be understood that part of the fuel's total chemical energy, i.e. the input electrical energy, is converted into heat. Even thermal energy is partially dissipated as it moves within the unit and along supply lines. The less this diffusion, the more potential heat reaches the consumer and the more perfect the boiler complex. Of course, all these requirements also apply to systems that heat private residences or provide heat to individual non-residential buildings.
When formulating a plan, you must strictly sign:
how much and what kind of fuel can be used;
what coolant to use;
what its quality should be;
How much coolant is used and pumped into the system;
General thermal indicators of the installation;
efficiency of the boiler room and its individual equipment;
Amount of solid and gaseous combustion waste;
use of filters and treatment facilities;
Characteristics of the main and control equipment used;
Pressure and temperature limits in all devices and circuits.
