Condensing boilers use waste heat from flue gases to pre-heat cold water entering the boiler. Flue gases are condensed into liquid form, thus recovering their latent heat of vaporization, which results in as much as 10%–12% increase in efficiency. Modeling these heat transfer phenomena is crucial to control this equipment. Despite the many approaches to the condensing boiler modeling, the follo...

many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (mimo) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. the major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. conventional controller p...

This work studies the identification and control of circulation fluidized bed (CFB) boilers. The CFB boiler under investigation shows strong nonlinearity due to big changes of steam load. A linear parameter varying (LPV) model is used to represent the process dynamics and used in control. The steam flow is used as the working-point variable (scheduling variable) of LPV model. Multivariable plan...

The goal of this project is to develop an technique to measure the PM produced by a two-stage wood based boiler in an inexpensive manner while still preserving high degree of accuracy. The general idea involved in the process involves sampling of the exhaust gas using a vacuum pump. A filter paper with a permeability of 2μm is used to capture PM2.5 present in the exhaust. The sampled data is me...

Received Oct 21, 2017 Revised Dec 28, 2017 Accepted Jan 13, 2018 An embedded based power plant system is used for checking the environmental condition based on different sensor. The microcontroller is fixed inside the boiler which is a turbine, to monitor the status and the information is passed through GSM. In this project we proposed the main water tank supplies number of boilers. The water l...

The modeling of thermal reaction furnaces of Sulfur Recovery Units (SRUs) is a rather complex problem since it involves different modeling scales such as the kinetic/molecular scale, the reactor scale, and the chemical process scale. This work introduces the multi-scale modeling approach to characterize the kinetic and reaction engineering scales for the thermal section of SRUs, involving the r...

The alternative energy sources are more and more used for production of heat. Several new combustion devices allow co-firing of different fuels, like dendromass and phytomass. The article analyses combustion of wood and straw pellets in the same boiler. Measurements were realized in two automatic heat sources – one is adapted to burn pellets made from wood or straw and another allows only burni...

The once-through heat recovery steam generator design is ideally matched to very high temperature and pressure, well into the supercritical range. Moreover this type of boiler is structurally simpler than a conventional one, since no drum is required. A specific mathematical model has been developed. Thermodynamic model has been implemented to suit very high pressure (up to 240 bar), suband sup...

The water level of boiler drum is one of the crucial control parameters for any process industry which reflects the control of mainly boiler load and feed water indirectly. If the level exceeds the limits, boiler water carryover into the superheater or the turbine may cause damage resulting in extensive maintenance costs. If the level is low, overheating of the water wall tubes may cause tube r...
