Energy Efficiency in Boiler Draft Systems

The document discusses energy efficiency in boiler draft systems. It describes the key components of boiler systems including the water treatment, feed water, steam, blow down, fuel supply, air supply, and flue gas systems. It then focuses on boiler draught systems, explaining that draught provides the force required to maintain air flow for combustion, draw hot gases through the system, and remove combustion products. It classifies draught systems as natural, induced, forced, or balanced draught and describes the characteristics of natural and forced draught systems. Finally, it outlines some areas for improving energy efficiency such as plugging air leaks in ducts, reducing duct pressure drops, reducing air infiltration, and converting to VFD fan control.

Boiler Draught
…a force required to

 Maintain air flow through a fire bed to aid


complete combustion

 Draw the resulting hot gases through the system

 Remove the products of combustion and


discharge to atmosphere
Functions of Draft System

To supply to the furnace the required


quantity of air for complete combustion of
fuel

To remove the gaseous products of


combustion from the furnace and
discharge these through chimney to the
atmosphere
Classification of Boiler Draught

 Natural Draught

 Artificial Draught

 Induced Draught
 Forced Draught
 Balanced Draught
Natural Draught
 Caused by a Chimney
 Easy to construct
 Has a long life
 Needs no auxiliary power

 Draught produced varies with weather


conditions and temp of FG
 No flexibility to create more draught to
take care of peak loads
