In facilities, in addition to limiting, the system activity sequence is also important to achieve energy efficiency. Nowadays, with the general use of VAV (variable volume) systems in commercial complexes, simultaneous heating and cooling and overheating of the primary air are often ignored. Applying boiler restrictions based on outside air temperature, for example when the temperature is above . degrees Celsius, is an effective way to prevent this situation.
Proper water hardening operations are essential to maintain the boiler operating properly. Each water hardening operation must be specifically planned and designed based on the minerals not dissolved in the compensating water, the percentage of distillation return, and the percentage of aeration. Insoluble solids in boiler water and water hardness in small and low-pressure motorhomes should be tested daily and in large and high-pressure motorhomes on an hourly basis. An annual inspection of boilers should include a thorough inspection and testing for signs of fouling or corrosion on surfaces adjacent to the water. The presence of even a thin layer of sediment prevents heat transfer and thereby reduces combustion efficiency. .
In commercial complexes, natural gas is mostly used as fuel for engine room boilers because it is usually easily accessible, clean, and more economical than diesel and electricity. Some engine boilers are designed to use more than one type of fuel (usually natural gas and diesel). Dual-burner boilers provide extra gas for fuel outages. It also allows the consumer to use petroleum fuel (diesel) when the amount of natural gas reaches a peak. When the amount of natural gas is higher than other fuels, it is possible to save on fuel costs by using cheaper fuel and limiting the use of natural gas.
Cast iron boilers are very useful because they can be collected in the basement and passed through smaller doors and gates. The most important drawback is that they are prone to leakage due to the connection of the parts by the washer when the washer becomes old or damaged by chemical reactions. Among the famous cast iron boilers in Iran, we can mention the boiler cast iron boiler and M.I. cast iron boiler made by Iran Pipe and Machine Building Company.
If a building has multiple boilers, you may be able to use the boilers in sequence to prevent repeated cycles. If you use boilers that do not adjust, it is better to use the next boiler when the capacity of one boiler is full, instead of disconnecting and connecting several boilers that are loaded. On the other hand, in regulating boilers, the efficiency of the boiler increases in the load-sharing situation. Therefore, using several boilers at the same time in load sharing mode is more beneficial than using one boiler with % efficiency. Figure shows the relationship between ignition rate and efficiency in boilers with adjustable air and fuel flow utilization.
