CAPABILITIES

Design Review Service

Thermodynamic Boiler Design Service

Thermodynamic Computer models calibrated from many years of boiler performance 6eld testing on a wide
range of boiler types operating up to maximum sub-critical pressure limits. These models can be used to
evaluate the heat transfer within almost any water tube boiler operating up to these limits. Our expertise
covers major boiler types 6ring a range of fuel including oil, gas, and coal. We have extensive experience
with boilers 6ring a wide range of solid fuels on grate 6ring systems including travelling, pinhole, and
vibrating grate, 6ring wood waste, bagasse, coal and other biomass fuel sources.

Third Party Design Reviews & Risk

Assessments:

Very cheap boilers can be sourced

from less prominent manufactures but
they can carry a substantial design risk
and many companies have been
caught out buying plant from these
sources. You need to know whether
the boiler you are being sold can
achieve its rated output and what are
the likely risks that need to be mitigated in any purchase agreement? Whilst we can’t carry guarantees on
third party boiler plant, Design Boiler’s thermodynamic design review service can potentially address many
of the major risks associated with purchases low cost boiler plant from these countries.

Our Thermodynamic Design Review service includes:

Boiler Performance Computer modelling to determine if the boiler has suKcient heating surface to
achieve its rated steam Low ate speci6ed steam temperature and pressure conditions.
Review of performance guarantees.
Identify potential sources of boiler load limiting – such as short comings in fan performance.
Identify potential areas of risk which would require further quali6cation from the Boiler manufacture
or additional clari6cation in boiler purchase contracts.
Options for comprehensive circulation analysis using inhouse boiler circulation computer modelling
resources.
Provide an expert review of proposed boiler plant based on the boiler manufacturers oKcial offer.

Circulation Analysis

The highly turbulent nature of Boiler circulation can’t be effectively modelled with CFD. Instead it requires
the application of advanced Luid dynamics techniques which incorporate extensive empirical data and
thermodynamic analysis. Design Boiler have an extensive suite of boiler circulation analysis software that
has been calibrated using nuclear tracer techniques on multiple boilers over a wide range of operating
pressures. We are boiler circulation specialists and use this software to model the internal circulation of
boiler plant to either redesign or diagnose major problems in existing boilers.

Diagnostic Services

Our extensive range of thermodynamic computer modelling software for both boiler performance and
circulation analysis gives us an unrivalled ability to diagnose defects in existing boiler plant. In most cases
we will identify the defect and proved a re engineered solution to the problem. Using our thermodynamic
modelling resources, we can test multiple options and provide appropriate criteria from which the most
cost-effective solution can be found.

Superheaters Airheaters & Economisers – Add-Ons & Replacement Boiler Parts

Boilers are not mass produced and sourcing replacement parts to effect repairs can be problematic and
expensive. Parts sourced from boiler manufacturers can incur substantial cost margins and long delivery
time frames. Design Boiler can work with you and your local engineering fabricator, to provide an alternative

source of replacement parts which in most cases will be far more cost effective and can meet tight delivery
time frames.

Fuel Conversions

We have been involved in a wide range of fuel conversions; including oil to gas, biomass to coal, bagasse to
coal, gas to solid fuel 6ring. Design Boiler’s extensive range of thermodynamic boiler modelling software
enables the performance simulation of an exiting boiler on multiple alternative fuels. Alternative fuels will
usually result in a signi6cant variation in thermal heat transfer pro6les within the boiler and this can
signi6cantly impact the internal circulation within the boiler. We are also able to assess these impacts using
our circulation modelling software resources.
