MARINE BOILERS –A GENERAL OVERVIEW

 

Boilers are one of the most important items of equipment aboard ships. They are used for numerous purposes. Whether it is steam powered or has a diesel engine as the main form of propulsion, a ship without a boiler is really difficult to imagine.

A boiler is a machine with the simplest arrangement of the internal parts. The main job of a boiler is to make high pressure steam. The feed water supplied to the boiler drum utilizes the heat of the energy released by burning the fuel. This energy of burning fuel is stored in the form of the steam with high temperature and pressure. The fuel is burnt in a combustion chamber inside the boiler. To attain high efficiency and complete combustion, air is supplied to this combustion chamber through a separate arrangement. The heat generated in this combustion chamber is transferred to the water from the boiler drum through a large area, which enables the highest rate of energy transfer.

The process of steam generation starts when the feed water enters the steam drum through both internal tubes and the tubes that surround the furnace. The system of tubes that surrounds the furnace is known as water-wall or floor tubes. The feed water gets heated when passed through these tubes. In addition to this, there are large-bore downcomer tubes that pass outside of the furnace and are used to circulate water between the drums, to which the tubes are attached from outside of the furnace.

The steam produced in the steam drum is known as wet or saturated steam. This steam cannot be used directly as it contains moisture. To make this steam usable, it is first dried and heated with the help of a superheater located within the boiler. When all moister is removed, the superheated steam can be supplied to other systems.

To increase the efficiency of the boiler, the feed water that enters the boiler is pre-heated with the help of an economizer through which the feed water passes before entering the boiler. The exhaust gases of the boiler pass over an air heater, which heats up the combustion air entering the furnace. Thus, the energy of the exhaust gases does not go waste.

A STEAM POWER PLANT

 

A steam power plant is used to propel a ship. It consists of a steam producing plant and a steam consuming unit. The steam power plant operates as follows: oil fuel is injected into the boiler furnace through burners which may vary in number in different types of boilers. The combustion of fuel generates heat radiated to the boiler tubes. This heat is absorbed by water and thus steam is formed. After that the heat is transmitted to the additional heating surfaces of the boiler.

To convert the heat energy of the steam into useful work steam is admitted to the turbine. The steam enters nozzles where the energy of steam is converted into the kinetic energy. The steam expands and when it leaves the nozzles the kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy at the turbine moving blades.

In passing through the turbine the steam is reduced in temperature and pressure. The steam from the turbine passes to the condenser where it is changed into water.

The water is pumped into the steam-water drum and the cycle is repeated. The whole arrangement which includes a water-tube boiler and a steam turbine is known as a steam power plant and is installed in turbo-driven ships.

CLASSIFICATION OF MARINE BOILERS

 

Marine boilers are classified in different ways:

1. By the purpose they are designed for marine boilers are classified as main and auxiliary, or donkey boilers.

The main steam boilers generate steam for the main engines, driving the propeller and for auxiliaries. The auxiliary boilers generate steam only for the auxiliaries, heating of oil and fuel tanks and other ship’s needs.

2. By their structure boilers are classified as the fire-tube boilers and the water-tube boilers.

The fire-tube boiler, or a Scotch boiler, consists of a cylindrical steel shell, which contains a furnace at the bottom. Two or more furnaces may be fitted, depending on the size of the boiler. The furnace is connected to a combustion chamber, situated in the middle part of the boiler. The furnace, the combustion chamber and the tubes are all surrounded by water.

Water-tube boilers have replaced fire-tube boilers. In the water-tube boiler feed water passes through the tubes surrounded by hot gases. It is used for high pressure, high temperature, and high capacity steam applications, e.g. providing steam for the main propulsion turbine or cargo pump turbines.

3. By the principle of water and steam water mixture motion the boilers are classified as natural and forced circulation boilers.

The process of natural circulation occurs due to density difference of water and steam water mixture.

If the working fluid is forced through the boiler by an external pump, the circulation is called the forced one.

4.By the way they are supplied with air boilers are classified as natural draft, forced draft and supercharged boilers.

In natural draft boilers fuel is burnt under the pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure; forced draft is produced by placing a fan in the uptake, and exhausting through the furnaces; in supercharged boilers the pressure is much higher than the atmospheric pressure.

BOILER CLASSIFICATION

 

Boilers vary considerably in detail and design.

In the following paragraphs, the classification of marine boilers according to intended service, location of fire and water spaces, type of circulation are considered.

Intended service

By this method of classification, marine boilers are divided into two classes, propulsion boilers and auxiliary boilers. Propulsion boilers are used to provide steam for ships' propulsion and for vital auxiliaries’ services. Auxiliary boilers are installed in diesel-driven ships and in many steam-driven ships. They supply the steam and hot water for galley, heating etc. and for other auxiliary requirements in port.

Location of fire and water spaces

One of the basic classifications of boilers is according to the location of the fire and water spaces. By this method of classification, boilers are divided into two classes, fire-tube boilers and water-tube boilers.

In the fire-tube boilers, the gases of combustion flow through the tubes and heat the water that surrounds the tubes. In water-tube boilers, the water flows through the tubes and is heated by the gases of combustion that fill the furnace and heat the outside metal surfaces of the tubes.

All propulsion boilers are of the water-tube type. Auxiliary boilers may be either fire-tube or water-tube boilers.

Type of circulation

Water-tube boilers are further classified according to the method of water circulation. Water-tube boilers may be classified as natural circulation boilers or forced circulation boilers.

In natural circulation boilers, the circulation of water depends on the difference between the density of an ascending mixture of hot water and steam and a descending body of relatively cool and steam-free water.

Forced circulation boilers are quite different in design from the boilers that use natural circulation. Forced circulation boilers depend upon pumps, rather than upon natural differences in density, for the circulation of water within the boiler.

Fuel oils characteristics

 

Fuel oils have various characteristics which determine their performance and are quoted in specifications.

The specific gravity is the weight of a given volume of fuel compared to the weight of the same volume of water expressed as a ratio, and measured at a fixed temperature.

Viscosity is a resistance to flow. A highly viscous fuel will therefore require heating in order to make it flow. Measurement of viscosity is by Redwood, Saybolt seconds for a given volume of fuel.

The ignition quality of fuel is measured by the time delay between injection and combustion, which should be short for good controlled burning.

The flash point is the temperature at which the fuel is ignited with a small open flame.

The pour point is slightly above the temperature at which the fuel just flows under its own weight. It is the lowest temperature at which the fuel can be easily handled.

Sulphur content is of importance since it is considered a cause of engine wear. A maximum limitis usually included in specifications.

The calorific value of a fuel is the heat energy released during combustion. Two values are used, the more common being the Higher Calorific Value, which is the heat energy resulting from combustion. The Lower Calorific Value is a measure of the heat energy available and does not include the heat energy contained in steam produced during combustion but passing away as exhaust. The measurement is obtained from a calorimeter test where a small fuel quantity is burnt under controlled conditions.

FEED WATER

 

Feed water is the water supplied to a boiler to generate steam or hot water. It is delivered to the boiler by the feed pump. As the water is evaporated, the impurities in it remain in the boiler in the form of the salt deposits.

Water containing impurities may lead to the following problems in boilers: scale, foaming, priming and corrosion.

The chief salts forming scale are those of calcium and magnesium. Magnesium sulphate is a salt commonly found in boiler water and it forms a soft, sludgy mass, not very harmful, which can be removed by blowing down. Calcium sulphate produces a hard brittle scale.

Alkalis or phosphate are sometimes put into marine boilers to prevent scale.

Foaming may be the result of dirty water, certain types of organic matter, oils in solution, the presence of excess alkalinity. Oil is very injurious to a boiler: it adheres to the tube surfaces and causes overheating and rupture of tubes.

Priming may be due to improper construction of boiler or extremely high ratings. The most common measure to prevent foaming and priming is to maintain the water at the lowest level. Avoiding high water levels, excessive boiler loads, and sudden load changes also helps. If foaming and priming occur, the blow off is opened several times, and fresh water is added.

The main cause of boiler corrosion results from the dissolved gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, found in feed water. They will react with the metals in the boiler system and lead to boiler corrosion. In order to protect the boiler from these contaminants, they should be controlled or removed, usually by use of a deaerator.

Acids due to oils in solution may be neutralized by the addition of sodium carbonate.

For efficient boiler operation a chemical analysis of the feed water must be run at least once a day.

Purity of boiler feed water

 

Modern boilers require very pure feed water. The water required for boiler feed purposes, i.e. for steam generation should be of very high quality and thus requires a lot of treatment. Untreated water, containing impurities may lead to the following problems in boilers.

Most pure water will contain some dissolved salts. These salts then adhere to the heating surfaces as a scale and reduce heat transfer, which can result in local overheating and failure of the tubes. Other salts remain in solution and may produce acids which will attack the metal of the boiler. An excess of alkaline salts in a boiler will cause cracking of the metal which may lead to serious failure.

The presence of dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide in boiler feed water can cause considerable corrosion of the boiler and feed systems. When boiler water is contaminated by suspended matter, an excess of salts or oil, foaming may occur. This is foam which collects on the water surface in the boiler drum. Foaming leads to priming which is the carry-over of water with the steam leaving the boiler drum. Any water present in the steam entering a turbine will do considerable damage.

Various amounts of different metal salts can be found in water. These include the chlorides, sulphates and carbonates of calcium, magnesium. These dissolved salts in water make up the 'hardness' of the water. Calcium and magnesium salts are the main causes of hardness.

CONTAMINATION OF FEED water

 

The quality of boiler water plays an important role in boiler operation. Contamination of boiler water leads to several types of problems, including the main ones – corrosion and scale formation.

Inside the boiler system, the boiler feed water passes through a series of tubes and equipment. The feed water is always chemically treated to reduce the effects of harmful minerals and gases.

The main problem starts when a lot of this boiler feed water is lost through leakages and processes such as boiler blow down, soot blowing etc., and make-up water is added to compensate this loss. This make-up water brings in a lot of the impurities into the boiler system.

How is the make-up feed water contaminated?

Boiler feed water is mainly taken from the fresh water generator. The sea water contains a large amount of salts and other dissolved minerals and gases. Many of them are harmful and eventually lead to boiler problems.

Saltdeposits act as insulators and lower the heat transfer rate.

The insulating effect of deposits also causes the boiler metal temperature to rise and lead to tube-failure by overheating.

Large amounts of such deposits throughout the boiler can reduce the heat transfer and decrease the overall boiler efficiency.

BOILER PARTS. THE FURNACE

 

A furnace provides steady burning of fuel.

The furnaces of marine water-tube boilers are lined with refractory firebrick backed up by the insulating bricks. This brickwork acts as furnace insulation and also, by maintaining a high furnace wall temperature, assists combustion.

Water walls are used in water-tube boilers to contain the heat of the furnace and reduce the amount of refractory material required. Water walls consist of a number of tubes and extend along the sides of the furnace setting.

To provide the efficient combustion process of burning oil fuel, a certain set of conditions is necessary: maintenance of high furnace temperature, provision of continuous oil fuel and air supply and removing products of combustion.

The oil is first heated in steam or electric fuel oil heaters. This reduces its viscosity and makes it easier to pump, filter, and finally to atomize. The heated oil passes through the burners where it is atomized; this process breaks it up into a fine spray of droplets presenting a very large surface area of oil to the combustion processes.

Different types of burners have been designed for burning liquid fuel. Mechanical oil burners and steam-assisted ones are employed to obtain efficient atomization. Mechanical atomizing oil burners may be classified according to their method of atomization as centrifugal atomizers and rotary cup atomizers.

Steam-assisted oil burners are widely spread in marine practice. Their advantages are high quality atomization and a wide range of fuel oil feed control.

UNIT VI. THE SUPERHEATER

 

The efficiency of the steam power plant is influenced by the steam conditions, i.e. pressure and temperature. That is why the superheater is an essential part of the modern marine boiler.

Steam is superheated by being heated above the temperature of saturation. Superheaters may be divided into several types:

- the convection type installed in one of the gas passages of the boiler;

- the radiant type installed in the boiler furnace;

- the multi-loop type placed remote from the furnace in the lower part of the uptake.

The convection type superheater usually consists of two headers into which seamless steel tubes are rolled. The tubes are connected to the steam inlet header and to the superheater outlet header. Steam from the boiler circulates through these tubes. Superheater tubes range from 1 to 2 in. in diameter; the temperature rarely exceeds 550°C, as the tensile strength of most metals decreases rapidly after passing 350°C.

With increased evaporation rates and higher superheat temperatures, many modern boilers use multi-loop type superheaters. These superheaters consist of a number of multi-loop tube elements. The steam enters all the tubes together, but makes several passes across the gas stream through each element.

The boiler drums are designed for a certain maximum operating pressure. When the steam pressure gets above the safe minimum, the safety valve should open and steam discharged. So all superheaters must have one or more safety valves.

A Procedure for Starting a Boiler

 

A boiler is one of those machineries that gets the ship going. It is dangerous equipment which generates steam at extremely high pressure, and it is for this reason that proper care should be taken while operating it.

Starting a Boiler

The following steps may not apply to all types of boilers and each boiler requires some additional steps to be followed as for its system design. However, the basic steps remain the same:

1. Ensure that the vent valve on the boiler is open and check there is no pressure in the boiler.

2. Check that the steam stop valve is closed.

3. Check that all the valves for fuel are open, and let the fuel circulate through the system until it comes to the temperature required by the manufacturer recommendation.

4. Check and open the feed water valves to the boiler and fill the water inside the boiler drum to just above the low water level. This is done because it is not possible to start the boiler below the low water level due to safety feature which prevent boiler from starting. Also, the level is not filled much because if filled too much, the water inside the boiler might expand and over pressurize the boiler.

5. Start the boiler in automatic mode. The burner fan will start the purging cycle which will remove any gases present in the furnace by forcing it out through the funnel.

6. After the pre-set purge time the pilot burner will ignite.

7. The main burner which is supplied by heavy oil catches fire with the help of pilot burner.

8. Check the combustion chamber from the sight glass to ensure the burner has lit and the flame is satisfactory.

9. Keep a close eye on the water level as the pressure increases and open the feed water when the level of water inside the gauge glass is stable.

10. Close the vent valve after the steam starts coming outside.

11. Open the steam stop valve.

12. Once the working steam pressure is reached, blow down the gauge glass and check for the alarms.
