This steam production equipment is known in the industrial engineering field by the name of the steam generator machine. This engine has the principle of steam production with engine design to work with certain fuels, utilizing force draft fans and primary air fans for the combustion process, and feedwater from boiler feed pumps. Later, this combustion process will produce flue gas that will come out through pollution control equipment and fly ash will be issued by ash handling equipment.
Basically, this steam generator engine utilizes thermal energy in its steam production, and is widely studied by those involved in or working in industries, some of which include oil and mining. The following explanation is further.
Steam Generator Machine Function
Steam generator machine or also known as a boiler has a function to produce steam (steam) to drive the turbine system. It is important to know the function of the steam generator machine further along with its components, especially if you work in a factory that uses this steam production machine. Bearing in mind this tool is among the most common tools and is often used in industrial production processes.
The main function of the steam generator engine is used to maintain the temperature in the distillation column of petroleum. That is why this tool is also often found in oil refineries. Besides this machine also has another function which is to help evaporator on the evaporator. By using fuels such as coal, fuel oil, or gas steam generator this machine operates.
Important components of this steam generator machine are furnaces or furnaces, steam drums, superheaters, air heaters, dust collectors, used gas regulators, safety valves or safety valves, sight glass or measuring glasses, and boiler water disposal . All of these components are mandatory for you to learn more to help with proper operation.
How a Steam Generator Machine Works
As part of industrial technology, this steam generator machine produces steam, also known as the evaporation process. This evaporation process occurs in the boiler drum. The results of this evaporation process must meet the standard pressure, temperature and chemical elements to maintain the quality of evaporation.
In addition to quality, this quantity of flow or flow calculated in tons / hour must be ensured in accordance with the flow needed by the turbine at any given moment. Both in hot, warm, or cold flow, the quantity must be adjusted according to the turbine conditions to be able to produce electrical energy. In general, the flow in a steam generator machine can be divided into two parts, namely steam flow and water flow.
Pay Attention to Safety
In order to operate the steam generator machine optimally, safety must also be considered when using. The first way to maintain operational security is to maintain engine pressure control. Because the pressure generated by the process of evaporation of water after going through the combustion system, the balance between boiler steam production and turbine consumption must be maintained. Because the balance of both will guarantee more stable pressure on the engine. To get a balanced value between boiler steam production and turbine consumption, it is necessary to have fuel control in the steam boiler.
Besides controlling the pressure, the next thing to consider is controlling the temperature. Especially the main steam temperature and the steam reheat temperature. The main steam temperature can be controlled by the spray process or also known as the attemperator process, together with the opening of the SH flow gas damper. While the steam reheat temperature control is done by using TCV 3A / 3B by taking water contained in one corner of the SU BFP or BFPT pump.
