what is heatsink?

What is Heatsink From the smartphone in your pocket to massive supercomputers, heat is a constant challenge. Every electronic device creates heat while working. Too much heat can slow things down, hurt performance, or even shorten how long your gadgets last. Keeping components cool is super important for smooth operation and long-term reliability. This is … Read more

Electrodes

Electrodes

What are Electrodes? Have you ever wondered what makes electricity flow in a device? Electrodes are often the answer. They are electrical conductors. They make a connection with a non-metallic part of a circuit. This non-metallic part can be an electrolyte, a semiconductor, or even a vacuum. They let electric current enter or leave this … Read more

What is energy data management?

Energy data Management

Energy data Management Opportunities in Thermal Power Plant: The major energy data management systems in thermal power plant are; The Boiler And Steam Distribution System data: A boiler burns fuel to produce heat that converts water into steam, and the steam distribution system takes the steam from the boiler to the point of use. Boilers consume much of … Read more

Types of Boilers Explained and Differences

Types Of Boilers

There are virtually infinite numbers of boiler designs but generally they fit into one of two categories: here are types of boiler as below: 1. Fire Tube Boilers:Types of Boilers    Fire tube or “fire in tube” boilers; contain long steel tubes through which the hot gasses from a furnace pass and around which the water … Read more

Boiler Performance and Efficiency

Boiler Performance

The boiler performance parameters of boiler, like efficiency and evaporation ratio reduces with time due to poor combustion, heat transfer surface fouling and poor operation and maintenance. Even for a new boiler, reasons such as deteriorating fuel quality, water quality etc. can result in poor boiler performance. Boiler efficiency tests help us to find out … Read more

What is Boiler Blowdown, Calculation and Benefits

Boiler Blowdown

Boiler blowdown: When water is boiled and steam is generated, any dissolved solids contained in the water remain in the boiler. If more solids are put in with the feed water, they will concentrate and may eventually reach a level where their solubility in the water is exceeded and they deposit from the solution. Above … Read more

Water Treatment, Process and Recommendation

Water Treatment

Producing quality steam on demand, depends on properly managed water treatment to control steam purity, deposits and corrosion. A boiler is the sump of the steam system. It ultimately receives all of the pre-boiler contaminants. Boiler performance, efficiency, and service life are direct products of selecting and controlling feed water used in the boiler. When … Read more

Organic Rankine Cycle

Rankine cycle

1.Ideal rankine cycle: 1-2: Isentropic expansion of superheated steam in the turbine. 2-3: Condensation in the condenser which converts steam into water. It is the constant pressure and constanttemperature heat rejection from steam which causes condensation. The volume is reduced about 1000 time in the condenser, thus saving huge amount of mechanical work. 3-4: Constant … Read more

What is Boiler Efficiency and Components Explained

Boiler Efficiency

The various energy efficiency opportunities in boiler system can be related to combustion, heat transfer, avoidable losses, high auxiliary power consumption, water quality and blowdown. Examining the following factors can indicate if a boiler is being run to maximize boiler efficiency Boiler efficiency depends on following 11 things 1.stack temperature 2.Feed Water Preheating using Economizer … Read more
