What is Boiler Control System and How does It Work?

CN Boiler
Most resources on advanced engineering topics require a certain level of knowledge. Part of the problem lies in the use of terminology. While it's effective at communicating ideas to people in the industry, it can be disorienting for newcomers unfamiliar with it. Today we mainly introduce some knowledge about the control system related to the boiler.
 
 
A control system refers to a system that uses control loops to manage and control another device or system. Control systems can be as small as a temperature controller implemented using a thermostat in your home, or as large as a large industrial control system that controls a process or machine.
A system or collection of actuators controlled by a control system is called a "factory". A controller is used to drive a device from its current state to some desired state (reference). Does not include an open loop controller, i.e. a controller with information measured from the factory output.
A controller that feeds back information from the plant's output is called a closed-loop controller or feedback controller.
 
In this article, we mainly introduce the industrial boiler control system and other closed control systems, such as PLC deaerator control system, condensation recovery control system, reactor control system, heat exchange control system, and hot air control system.

Industrial boilers are a major investment, making it extremely important to extend their lives and maintain their efficiency for as long as possible. Corrosion is a major factor in the failure of boilers, which is where the deaeration process comes in. Deaeration involves oxygen removal, as well as carbon dioxide removal, thus extending the life and efficiency of a boiler system – it is very pertinent that the makeup water entering a boiler is free of these dissolved gases. The major area of application for deaerators can be found within a boiler plant and boiler feed water systems.
 
We understand the investment you’ve made in your boiler system, and we’re prepared to help you keep it in great working order by installing a deaerator with PLC control system that will remove the dissolved gasses that cause corrosion and threaten the ability of the boiler to do its job.
 
 
The steam produced in a boiler by the process of adding heat to water is often called live steam. The terms "fresh steam" and "flash steam" are used only to distinguish their sources. Whether the steam is produced in a boiler or in a natural flash evaporation process, it has exactly the same potential to release heat, and each has been used successfully for this purpose. Flash steam produced from condensate can contain up to half of the total energy of the condensate. An efficient steam system will recover and use flash steam. Condensate water and flash steam discharged to waste means more makeup water, more fuel and increased operating costs.
 
 
The condensate recovery control system device adopts a unique water pump with cavitation elimination device to realize the closed recovery of steam condensate,so it can completely solve the problem of high temperature condensate recovery, fully recovers the secondary flash steam of condensate, saves energy and water resources. It realizes the full utilization of energy, makes the thermal energy recycling rate reach more than 95%,reduces the thermal pollution of the environment and the noise when the condensed water is discharged, and its economic and social benefits are huge.
 
 
The broad understanding of a reactor is a vessel with physical or chemical reactions. Through the structural design and parameter configuration of the container, the heating, evaporation, cooling, and low-speed mixing functions required by the process can be realized. Our self-developed reactor automatic control system achieves the best reaction conditions by controlling the speed of the motor and the temperature of the heat source, then achieves the purpose of a full reaction. 
 
 
The reactor is a comprehensive reaction vessel. The structure, function and configuration accessories of the reactor are designed according to the reaction conditions. Our reactor control system can complete the preset reaction steps from feed to reaction to discharge with a high degree of automation, as well as temperature, pressure, mechanical control (stirring, blowing, etc.), reactants/products during the reaction process important parameters such as concentration are strictly regulated.
 
 
The plate heat exchanger is a new type of high-efficiency heat exchanger that is stacked by a series of metal sheets with a certain corrugated shape. Thin rectangular channels are formed between various plates, and heat exchange is performed through the plates. Plate heat exchanger is an ideal equipment for liquid-liquid, liquid-vapor heat exchange.
 
Under the control of the temperature control valve, the steam or high-temperature water is sent to the plate heat exchange unit according to the required flow rate of the heating system, and the heat exchanger heats the heating (air conditioning) return water of the heat user by indirect heat exchange; After passing through the stainless steel core decontamination device, the heated water enters the heat exchanger through the circulating pump to be heated for the user to use, and it goes round and round. The primary heat medium returns to the primary heating pipe network after heat exchange in the plate heat exchanger unit. The water loss of the system is automatically supplemented by the water supply pump according to the set pressure to ensure the system pressure is stable and normal operation.
 
 
The basic working principle of hot air boilers is the production of hot air by transferring the heat energy released as a result of the combustion of fuel (coal, natural gas, oil, etc.) to the air.
 
This control system is suitable for coal-fired hot air boilers, with automatic and manual boiler control functions such as temperature control, air volume control, fuel feeding control,and slag remover control. In addition to the above functions, the control system can also monitor the real-time data of the analog quantity on site, and some basic interlocked and alarm functions.
