FUEL OIL SYSTEM

 

A furnace provides steady burning of fuel. When burning fuel the following characteristics of it should be taken into consideration: viscosity, specific gravity, flash point, pour point, heating value and some others.

A furnace fuel oil system consists of a fuel tank from which fuel is drawn through a strainer by a pump. This pump delivers fuel under pressure through a filter and a heater to the burners. In the burners it mixes with air and is ignited inside the furnace.

The complete furnace fuel oil system consists of:

1. Oil fuel filling system – to replenish the fuel tanks.

2. Suction system – to allow any tank to be used and for transferring fuel from remote tanks.

3. Discharge system – to deliver fuel under pressure to the burners.

Fuel is burnt in the furnace in suspension. Therefore, a burner used for atomization is a very important element in fuel burning equipment.

Although there are a lot of types of burners they work on the same principle.

The fuel is heated to the burning temperature, which reduces viscosity and then delivered under pressure to the burner body. The fuel passes through the holes which give it a rotary motion and then through the orifice in a conical spray – to the furnace.

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.

contamination, v загрязнение

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.
