Inside Dynea’s Boiler Control System Complexities
What are the complexities of boiler feedwater dynamics? Have you ever considered the constraints of conventional control systems? Are you curious to know the innovative solutions that have revolutionized the field, including FOCUS-ON’s smart meters? We will start by discussing the difficulties Dynea faces in maintaining optimal boiler performance and the inefficiencies in their current setup.
What You Need to Know About Boilers
Boiler feedwater is the water supplied to the boiler to generate steam, playing a crucial role in maintaining efficient and reliable operations. The quality and temperature of this water are vital for the boiler’s performance and longevity. Feedwater typically undergoes treatment to remove impurities and meet standards. This prevents issues like scaling, corrosion, and foaming, which can reduce efficiency and cause problems.
During steam production, feedwater is heated and converted into steam for industrial processes. Maintaining a stable feedwater flow is essential for optimal performance. Variations can lead to inefficiencies, increased energy consumption, and potential damage. Understanding boiler feedwater dynamics is key to appreciating the challenges and advancements in boiler control systems, as discussed in this case study.
Insights into Dynea’s Boiler Control Challenges
Currently, Dynea uses separate pressure sensors to monitor boiler pressure. If the pressure deviates from the optimal range of +/- 2.3 bar, adjustments are made through a control valve. However, this setup does not provide detailed information on factors such as feedwater temperature and flow rate, limiting opportunities for optimization.
