Developing Boiler Concepts as Integrated Units

Abstract

With the objective to be able to optimize the design and operation of steam boiler concepts Aalborg Industries A/S [1] has together with Aalborg University, Institute of Energy Technology [9] carried out a development project paying special attention to the boiler concept as an integrated unit - consisting of pressure part, burner and control system. The Technical University of Denmark, MEK - Energy Engineering Section [12] has participated in the modelling process. The project has included static and dynamic modelling of the boiler concept. For optimization of operation, verication of performance, emissions and to obtain long time operation experiences with the boiler concept, a full scale prototype has been built and these tests have been accomplished on the prototype. By applying this integrated unit approach to the boiler concept development it has been possible to optimize the different building bricks in the boiler concept to each other and hereby obtain signicant reductions in the boiler concepts weight and foot-print . The actual development project has focused on an heavy fuel oil-red boiler for the marine market with a capacity in the range 1-10 t/h saturated steam. The development project has been successfully accomplished and the boiler concept has been released to the market - MISSION TM OB [1].
