Boiler operating principles and safety protection
I. Operating principle of the boiler
1. What is a boiler system?
Industrial boiler systems, also known as steam boilers (Steam Boiler in English), use fuels such as coal, firewood, drums, oil, gas... to boil water to create high-temperature hot steam and great pressure. This amount of heat energy will be used to serve heat needs in many different areas.
2. Operating principle of industrial boiler?
When water is sucked or pumped circulated into storage tanks and boilers. At that time, the internal heater will burn the fuel to a maximum temperature of 20000C. Then, the heater stops burning and the water will begin to evaporate to form hot steam. The heat created will be sent through pipes to deliver heat to the devices that need it.
After a short time, when a lot of heat is released, the heat will gradually disappear and condense into water. The condensed water will continue to be returned to the boiler's water tank and this process will continue to circulate until the system is no longer needed.

Water storage tank
Heat exchanger
Heating boilers
Air dryer
Dust filter cyclone
Cloth bag dust filter device
Electrostatic precipitator
Dust suppression tower
Dust suppression tank
Ash settling tank
In addition, industrial valves are indispensable equipment in boilers, specifically: safety valves, pressure reducing valves, one-way valves, gate valves, etc. The function of this device is to regulate pressure, ensuring The steam system operates safely and smoothly.

4. Why is it mandatory to have a safety valve in the boiler system?
The safety valve is the ultimate safety protection device. The boiler operates safely with no fire or explosion incidents occurring. If the pressure in the boiler exceeds the permissible limit for a long time, it can cause a fire or explosion, which can even cause serious damage to property and people.
The device is always equipped with a pull handle used to release water without having to wait for the set pressure. In this case, the steam safety valve will be like a regular relief valve. To help the entire system operate most effectively.
When installing the valve, it will be responsible for maintaining stable pressure in boiler equipment. This helps keep the entire system trouble-free and also improves work efficiency.
