We obviously do not have the presumption to want to teach how things should be done. We just want to put at disposal of those people that wish to increase their knowledge in this sector, or find new information, our experience matured in many years of study and hard work. We warmly hope that what is written in these "technical books" will allow every reader to be able to work with ease and serenity and to avoid, where possible, to fall in errors that others, previously, have unintentionally committed in order to arrive to a certain knowledge level of the Termotecnics sector. This series of notebooks will be published in two editions, one in Italian and the other in English. We thought, with the purpose to avoid any possible confusion, that it was more practical and technically more appropriate, not to mix the two languages. The collection is dedicated to all those people whom have contributed, and that are still contributing, to GARIONI NAVAL’S development and growth. If you are interested to receive all the issues, please apply compiling in each part the enclosed form, by Internet through our web site www.garioninaval.com or by e-mail at [email protected] G2 ® e a s y l i k e a S u n d a y AVAL m o r n i n g … Steam, a traditional but at the same time modern and efficient instrument, is practically irreplaceable regarding petrochemical, chemical, paper, dyeing, pharmaceutical, food, canning, rubber and plastic industries etc. It is also indispensable in the civil sector for sterilising in hospitals and clinics, it is used as a preference in canteens and laundries and in air conditioning plants (on industrial level, where it is often used for heating). Again it has a wide and irreplaceable use in generating power using turbines, pumps and alternators in large heating plants and onboard ships. Wherever there is a need to produce, pump and utilise both thermal energy and pressure, steam is the ideal solution. What advantages does it have and which are the reasons for this? Above all, steam can be produced fairly easily and comes from water which, at least in relation to the present or near future global production needs of steam, is luckily still available in large quantities and at economically advantageous conditions, apart from the fact that in steam plants continuos recycling is applied and recovery can be almost one hundred per cent. Steam has a very high ponderal heat content which means tubes and user units having to support a light load, which also means movable equipment with excellent exchange coefficient, compact and economic. Steam circulates naturally without requiring accelerators, temperatures can be high at quite low pressures which means a relatively safe means and fairly easy to deal with. Temperature or pressure regulations can be carried out using simple twoway valves; above all it has the advantage of being extremely “flexible” meaning that it adapts well to later variations and changes, not like other fluids such as water, superheated water, diathermic oil, etc.. Of course the above mentioned becomes more valid concerning steam plants which have been rationally designed and constructed, above all regarding recovering energy. This automatically leads to the fact that trained technicians with a good knowledge of the subject should be called in because, although steam is not so complex as other fluids, a good theoretical preparation and practical know-how are required.

In the old generators the air entered the combustion chamber drawn in by the vacuum created. In order to create this vacuum the combustion products leaving the boiler must exit into the atmosphere at a height higher than the boiler itself through a passage called a stack. In this way the static pressure in the combustion chamber is equal to the weight of the atmospheric column present at the mouth of the stack (p.s.a.) minus the weight of the column of hot gas contained in the stack (p.s.f) and therefore less than the one present at the boiler air inlet resulting only from the weight of cold air (p.s.a.). This difference in pressure defined as draft is the transfer of an external gaseous mass towards the boiler, to the combustion chamber and evacuation stack. This process is known as NATURAL DRAFT. Draft will increase in proportion to the height of the stack and the difference in temperature between the fumes and the air feed. Good efficiency of the system depends on: - high stacks with perfect insulation. - boiler combustion chamber perfectly sealed without infiltration from outside. - high temperature of gases expelled from the stack. The use of re-generators and heat exchangers lowers the final temperature of hot gases, increases the loss of air load and makes the natural draft effect difficult if not impossible. G8 FORCED DRAFT STACKS The use of a fan which pushes the air and combustion gases forward is forced draft. Forced draft This is achieved by installing a ventilator at the bottom of the stack which extracts the fumes from the boiler and forces them up the stack. The ventilator must have particular characteristics as the impeller must support high temperatures and resist corrosion due to acid ® e a s y components which form according to the type of fuel (sulfur dioxide). A shut-off placed at the bottom of the stack and in the ventilator intake helps to regulate roughly the delivery of gas. The efficiency of this system is hindered if the combustion chamber is not perfectly sealed towards the external. l i k e a S u n d a y AVAL m o r n i n g … In order to achieve a good combustion process the boiler makers adjust the fan head so as to create a slight vacuum in the combustion chamber (5 – 10 mm H2o) that is the suction fan has a higher head than the pusher fan. Induced draft This is achieved by installing a fan externally to the stack which aspirates a part of the fumes expelled by the boiler and then forces them up the stack itself using an accelerator which could be an injector. The part of the fumes blown into the stack by the fan forces the remaining column of hot gasses towards the exit of the stack at high speed while at the same time a vacuum is created in the section aspired by the fan thus creating a forced draft in the combustion chamber. The efficiency of this system is impaired if the combustion chamber is not perfectly sealed towards the external. Pressurized boiler draft It can be said that in recent years the introduction of pressurized combustion boilers has eliminated the majority of boilers using the systems described above. In fact in order to eliminate all the drawbacks caused by a very precarious draft a pressurized combustion boiler was designed which incorporates the pusher fan which imparts the necessary head or pressure on the fuel air aspirated from outside in order to overcome all the load losses of the air-fumes-stack circuit. Advantages: Limited size of boiler, less absorbed electric power, lower running and maintenance costs. Balanced or compensated draft This is achieved by using two fans; one which forces the fuel air in the boiler, the other which aspirates the combustion products and forces them up the stack. G The fan which emits the fuel air into the boiler is called the pusher fan whereas the one that forces the combustion products is the suction fan.

Remember the stacks must be: Boilers under vacuum with natural draft stack • completely airtight with smooth internal surfaces. • appropriately insulated to avoid fumes cooling too much. • the connection between the boiler and the stack must be as short as possible, avoiding bends and long horizontal sections. T= h= draft of the stack in mm column of water working height of stack (net of bends and sub horizontal sections) s.a.w. = specific air weight s.f.w. = specific fumes weight corresponds to the average temperature taken inside the stack.

When two or more boilers have to deliver steam to the same line, each of one has to be able to work independently from the others and concerning the delivery, and concerning the feeding. If the boiler’s rated pressure are different one to the other, than it is necessary to install safety valves trimmed at the lower pressure. For instance, if two boilers are tested at 10 one and at 12 the second, both safety valves have to be trimmed at 10 bar. It is also strongly suggested ,above all for boilers producing more than 1000 kg/h of steam, to install check valves on the outlet lines after the steam outlet valve. ® e a s y l i k e a S u n d a y AVAL m o r n i n g … boiler room All boiler’s room have to be realised with: b) All steam boilers with pressure below 6 bar 1.

Each boiler must be equipped with a manometer with Mpascal, Kgcm2 or bar graduated scale and the range must reach a pressure reading not less than 1and a quarter times but not higher than double the rated pressure or the calibration setting of the safety devices. In the case of manometers with unified scales according to TAB. UNI 4663, the range may be set based on the settings indicated in the table. The rated pressure on the manometers must be printed in red. a) The manometer should be equipped with a s i p h o n coil tube, where the steam, on coming into contact with the manometer sensor will condense. Absolute pressure (kg/cm) Pressure gauge scale (kg/cm) b) A 3-way stop cock must be applied equipped with an appendix. c) With a flat disk dia. 40 mm and 4 mm thick.

G17 ® e a s y l i k e a S u n d a y AVAL m o r n i n g … Each steam boiler must be equipped with at least 2 safety disk valves, each of which is able and armed so as to discharge the steam when the maximum working pressure has been reached. DE = inlet diameter DU = outlet diameter USUAL Pressure calibration of safety valves = rated boiler pressure. (Kg/cm2) Safety valves discharge capacity = maximum production of steam of the boiler at continual load (Kg/h) divided between the two valves. Example: Steam boiler.

We strongly advise against using the discharge outlet placed in the valve body as a discharge for condensation rated pressure: 12Kg/cm2. steam capacity: 4,000 Kg/h Two safety valves having the following characteristics should be chosen: - calibration pressure = 12 Kg/cm2 - discharge capacity ≥ 2,000 Kg/h To secure strongly at the wall the discharging pipes of the safety valves Safety valves discharge tube installed on steam boilers bigger than 1000 Kg/h have to be piped outdoor. Recommendations for realising discharge pipes: a) We recommend installing the discharge tube with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the exit flange of the safety valve. The shorter possible G18 Drainage ® e a s y c) The discharge tube must be well anchored and supported so that the forces created by the sudden and violent discharge of steam do not unload on the safety valve. d) If several safety valves are connected to one discharge tube this must have an internal cross section equal to the sum of the exit cross sections of the valves. Example: 2 Total cross-section of the 2 valves 22.8 + 22.8 = 45.6 cm . l i k e a S u n d a y AVAL m o r n i n g … Example: steam boiler.

A= 3000 = 6,9 cmq 0,9 x 0,66 x 113,8 x 0,639 x 14,21 0,141 The choice falls on a safety valve with a passage cross-section equal to or slightly greater than the value found. In the manufacturer’s catalogue there could be a valve with useful area of 8 cm2, with 32 mm dia. passage and DN40 input flanged connections x DN65 output.

The other indicator may be made up of 2 test valves. The visible height of the indicator level must nit be less than 150 mm, of which not more than 40 mm must be below the minimum level of the boiler. There must always be a plate bearing the wording “MINIMUM LEVEL” Q = valve discharge capacity (Kg/h) A = passage area (cm2) 0.9 = reduction coefficient K1 = discharge coefficient 113.8 = numeric constant C = expansion coefficient P1 = discharge pressure + 10% +1,013 (Kg/cm2) V1 = steam specific volume at P1 (m2/kg) 4) CALIBRATION PRESSURE SWITCH In the case of ordinary type safety valves 0.9 a K1 = 0.05 is assumed In the case of qualified type valves the value used for the discharge coefficient is the one calculated during the qualification tests by ISPESL which usually varies, depending on the type of valve, from 0.2 to 0.9 (K1). Equipment needed to check the boiler pressure and keep it within the set maximum and minimum pressure limits. This role is achieved using pressure switches equipped with differentiated calibration of operating levels.

As a rule for fuel oil and diesel where certain capacities are exceeded(over 300,000 cal/h) the burner is equipped with 2 nozzles (2 phases) where each one guarantees half of the fuel delivery. In this case there will be two pressure switches, set at different pressures and each one connected to one phase of the burner. This pressure switch operates by opening the boiler power electric circuit. A device holds the electric contact permanently blocked in the open position. The electric power circuit can only be reset manually by the operator once the cause for the breakdown has been removed. Pressare 12bar 6) LEVEL ADJUSTER (LEVEL GAUGE) Automatic equipment for maintaining the water level in the boiler within a set range. The regulator controls the start of the feed pump when the level in the boiler reaches the set minimum and stops it when the maximum level set has been reached. Float regulating system. Sensor made up of a float which moves with the level of the water in the boiler. The float is connected to a rod movement which moves mercury filled spheres which open or close the electric contacts. 7) SAFETY LEVEL REGULATOR WITH STOP PSH= on-off regulation pressure switch Level regulator with electrodes. Equipment which takes advantage of the electric conductivity of water, made up of three electrodes or sensors. When sensors 1 and 2 are out of the water the feed pump is actuated thus covering first sensor 2 and then sensor 1. At this point the pump stops. If for some reason the level drops below sensor 3 the burner is automatically switched off. In the electric sequence apparatus the stop control is actuated which will not allow the burner to start unless it is reset manually after the cause has been removed. PSL= first step regulation pressure switch PSH= second step regulation pressure switch Control panel 5) STOP PRESSURE SWITCH WITH MANUAL RESET Equipment having a safety role which intervenes in the case of breakdown of control pressure switch. It is set at a higher pressure than the control pressure switch but lower than the rated pressure of the boiler.

Q4 = P x Cs x ∆t P = Weight of material (Kg) Cs = Specific heat of material (kcal/kg/°C) ∆t = Increase in temperature of the material to be heated (°C) FROM BY Q4 = 200 x 0,12 x 50 = 1.200 kcal/h Calculation of the surface of the heating coil Q5 Once the maximum heat required has been set, which in our case is: Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 = Q5 The coil surface can be calculated using the following formula: Q5 S= K ( Ts – TL) Q5 = Total calories needed (cal/h) S u n d a y AT AVAL m o r n i n g … K Lead 250 Stainless inox 580 Steam Cast iron Water 780 Iron 900 Copper 1000 Making reference to the above examples we will have: Q5 = 170.000 + 11.014 + 45.000 + 1.200 = 227.214 kcal/h Considering: average water temperature 60°C steam temperature at 4 ate = 152°C steel coil K = 900 S= Example: Block of steel weighing 200 Kg, the specific heat of which is 0.12, to be raised to 10°C.

With steam at 4 ate which its latent heat is 503 kcal/kg, in order to satisfy these needs, the consumption will be as follow: Q= 227.214 503 452 kg/h This value refers to a pressure start-up which preheating is 3 hours, the maintenance will reduce about 1/4 of maximum value.

With saturated steam each pressure corresponds to a certain temperature of the water. In an open container water usually boils at 100 °C whereas in a closed container (boiler) it boils at the temperature which corresponds to the pressure reached. At 1 atmosphere water boils at 120°C At 5 atmospheres water boils at 158 °C At 10 atmospheres water boils at 183°C In a boiler which produces steam at 10 ate there is a mass of water at a temperature of 183°C. If for the above reasons a large hole forms in the boiler, the pressure would drop instantly from 10 ate to atmospheric pressure. At the same time the temperature of the water would drop from 183°C to 100°C, the boiling temperature of water at atmospheric pressure. In this way 183 –100 = 83 calories for each kilogram of water held in the boiler would be released; these calories would cause part of the water itself to evaporate. As in order to evaporate one Kg of water at 100°C, 539 calories (639-100) are needed, with 83 calories 0.154 kilograms (83:539) will evaporate, that is to say about 150 Kg of steam for each m3 of water contained in the boiler will be produced. As a kilogram of steam at atmospheric pressure occupies the volume of about 1725 litres, each litre of water (equal to 1 Kg) which evaporates from the boiler on the boiler bursting immediately tends to occupy the volume of 1725 litres.
