Experimental and numerical stress and strain analysis of the boiler reversing chamber tube plate

Boilers are one of the most used units for both heat generation plants and industry systems. Their operation is subjected to different working loads maintenance requirements. Exploitation experience points out critical boiler zones where failures break downs typically occur. This paper analyzes in hot water fire-tube boiler. Experimental procedure was performed on model this type boilers its element. The tube plate identified as one. analysis numerical verification were using Aramis system based 3-D digital image correlation method. Numerical done ANSYS software package results measurements obtained by strain gauges local system. Stress-strain indicates plate. character change parameters such stress occurring can be verified experimental data. presents a novel approach analyses that conducted similar existing unit optimization, well new product testing provide opportunity further development improvement practical industrial application.
