What Is a Steam Boiler? What Are the Applications?

What Is a Steam Boiler?

Steam boilers are systems that heat water to generate steam. In steam boilers, various fossil fuels such as coal, diesel, natural gas, and others can be used.

Types of steam boilers: We manufacture two types of steam boilers, namely, cylindrical steam boilers and Scotch-type steam boilers. The steam boilers produced are made of steel. Steam boilers are widely used in industrial facilities. The heat transfer process is highly efficient. It is easy to transmit and does not require pumping. There is no additional energy required during the transportation of steam. It is easy to transport and transmit. Steam boilers carry a high amount of thermal energy. Additionally, there are fire-tube steam boilers and water-tube steam boilers.

Reasons for Using Steam:

• It is an ideal heat carrier.
• It can carry more heat with small-diameter pipes.
• It is environmentally friendly (i.e., it is clean).
• Energy savings can be achieved through recovery.
• The fluid is transported under its own pressure, so there is no need for a pump, making it cost-effective.
• Precise temperature control is possible.
• It reduces the risk of corrosion in the steam system.
• Heat losses are minimal; it is an ideal heat carrier. Due to its small-diameter pipes, heat losses are lower compared to other systems. It has good thermodynamic properties.
• It has low initial costs, as small-diameter pipes are used, insulation is minimal, and installation is inexpensive.
• Steam is safe; it does not have a flammable property. It is a sterile fluid.
• Steam is environmentally friendly. It is a pure substance.

The disadvantage is that it requires high energy and pressure, so proper maintenance is essential.

Where Are Steam Boilers Used?

• In petrochemicals
• In thermal power plants for electricity generation (steam turbines)
• For sterilization purposes in the pharmaceutical and food industries
• In construction materials industries
• In steam heating systems (radiators)
• In refineries
• In chemical processes
• In the food industry
• For sterilization (packaging and food)
• In the fertilizer industry
• In rubber products production
• In construction materials industries
• In the paper industry
• In wood processing and shaping And many more applications.
