Universal Steam Boilers

Specifications

KU boilers are flue fire-tube, large-capacity boilers with natural circulation of boiler water for the combustion of liquid and gaseous fuels. The combustion chamber size is designed so as to minimise emissions. The maximum design pressure of KU line boilers is 1.8 MPa. The maximum temperature of superheated steam t = 450°C. According to the temperature required, a specific type of super-heater is installed in the boiler. The boilers are supplied on a standard frame, including insulation with sheeting and a service platform. The supply includes the respective fittings, boiler valves and instruments and gauges. Upon the client’s request, the boiler is also equipped with a feed pump and feed water control (modulated or ON-OFF). The boilers are fitted with fire-tube or water-tube economisers of feed water, thus increasing the boiler efficiency by 2 to 4 %. Condensation exchangers may be added next to the boilers, using condensation heat of water vapour contained in flue gases. The design, manufacturing, testing and additional equipment of boilers are done according to the CSN technical standards.

Boiler Characteristics

The boiler has excellent accumulating capacity, allowing for reliable operation even in the case of fluctuating steam extraction. This feature, however, does not restrict the boiler output and start-up (start-up time in cool state is from 15 to 20 minutes). The boiler construction facilitates maximum cooling of flue gases at a minimum heating surface and maximum reliability and service life. This feature is also connected with reduced quality requiments for water treatment. The output regulation scope is limited by the regulation scope of the combusting equipment.

Boiler Modulation

The basic modification is a steam boiler with saturated moderated-pressure steam extraction. The boiler can also be supplied in a modification for super-heated steam or hot water.

Equipment for steam-boiler plants operating without constant supervision

The boiler is ready for the installation of equipment for steam-boiler plants operating without constant supervision made by Gestra (supervision intevals every 2 – 24 – 72 hours according to TRD 602 and TRD 604).

TESTING AND CERTIFICATION

The transportable moderated-pressure boiler room is designed and produced according to the CSN standards in force, and the boiler holds a certificate of approved design, issued by the Safety Standards Inspectorate. The construction and the first pressure test in accordance with CSN 070623 are performed in the production plant, and the result is recorded in an inspection book, which is part of the technical documents supplied with the boiler room, together with a certificate of tests carried out on materials used in accordance with CSN 420090.
