The purpose of a power boiler is to create steam by applying heat energy to water. The necessary heat energy is produced by combustion. Fuel and oxygen are required for combustion to occur. To ensure complete combustion of the fuel in the boiler furnace, enough air must be thoroughly mixed with the fuel. Each power boiler fuel requires a different amount of air for complete combustion and the combustion controls must be designed to provide it. This module describes the role of combustion in power boilers as well as major components and flows of power boiler air systems.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Identify and describe the safety hazards and guidelines associated with power boiler air and combustion
  • Define "combustion"
  • Explain the role of combustion in power boilers
  • Describe the two basic air systems for power boilers
  • Identify and describe major components of power boiler air systems
  • Identify and describe the primary process flows
  • Describe factors that affect the combustion process
  • Differentiate between the firing techniques needed for good combustion depending on the fuel

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is combustion?
Combustion is the rapid chemical combination of oxygen with the combustible elements of a fuel, resulting in production of heat.

What is the role of combustion in power boilers?
Combustion creates steam by applying heat energy to water.

What are the two basic air systems for power boilers?
Pressurized furance and balanced draft.

What are the major components of a power boiler air system?
Forced draft fan, air heater, windbox, primary air fan, overfire air fan, and induced air fan.

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

The purpose of a power boiler is to create steam by applying heat energy to water. The necessary heat energy is produced by combustion. Fuel and oxygen are required for combustion to occur. Air, which is 21% oxygen, provides the oxygen, while the major fuels used in the power boiler are natural gas, fuel oil, coal, and biomass. Design characteristics of power boilers differ depending on the fuel burned. These characteristics include shape of the furnace, air system design, tube spacing, super heater design, and the type of air pollution equipment installed. To ensure complete combustion of the fuel in the boiler furnace, enough air must be thoroughly mixed with the fuel. Each power boiler fuel requires a different amount of air for complete combustion, and the combustion controls must be designed to provide it.

Customer Q&A

Ask a Question

Sorry, we're missing some information

How do I log in to watch a video that I have already paid for?

Easy! Moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course, you'll receive an email with login details. Just click the link and log in with your user name and password and you're on your way!

I would like to have some of my employees take 5 of your driving related courses, how can i set this up?

We're in the process of making bulk purchases and purchases for multiple users easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and just let us know who you'd like to assign courses to. With an email for each user, we can set up their training plans and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

How can I get your paper-making courses for free?

Well, we can't blame you for asking... And while we're a for-profit company, there are situations with students and certain educational organizations where we can help out with a selection of eLearning. However, our online courses are extremely economical. And our paper industry courses are in very high demand. So, without knowing more about your situation, we think you'll get loads of value from the $39 you'll spend on any of our premium courses.

Do you have eLearning in Portuguese?

Yes, we do! And in addition to primary English narration, we produce many courses in a growing number of languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Tamil, and Thai.

I'm unemployed, but I really like your eLearning. Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes! All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of eLearning. In the future, we'll have badges for you to use in your LinkedIn profiles.
