Boilers can explode, can steam generators?

Currently, steam-generating equipment on the market includes steam boilers and steam generators, and their structures and principles are different. We know that boilers have safety hazards, and most boilers are special equipment and require annual inspection and reporting. Why do we say most instead of absolutely? There is a limit here, the water capacity is 30L. The “Special Equipment Safety Law” stipulates that water capacity greater than or equal to 30L is classified as special equipment. If the water capacity is less than 30L, it does not belong to special equipment and is exempt from national supervisory inspection. However, it does not mean that it will not explode if the water volume is small, and there will be no safety hazards.

A steam generator is a mechanical device that uses thermal energy from fuel or other energy sources to heat water into hot water or steam. Currently, there are two working principles of steam generators on the market. One is to heat the inner tank, “storage water – heat – boil water – produce steam”, which is a boiler. One is direct-flow steam, which burns and heats the pipeline through the fire exhaust. The water flow atomizes and vaporizes instantaneously through the pipeline to generate steam. There is no water storage process. We call it a new steam generator.

Then we can know very clearly whether the steam generator will explode. We need to look at the corresponding structure of the steam equipment. The most distinctive feature is whether there is an inner pot and whether water storage is required.

If there is a liner pot and it is necessary to heat the liner pot to generate steam, there will be a closed pressure environment to operate. When the temperature, pressure, and steam volume exceed critical values, there will be an explosion hazard. According to calculations, once a steam boiler explodes, the energy released per 100 kilograms of water is equivalent to 1 kilogram of TNT explosives, and the explosion is extremely powerful.

The internal structure of the new steam generator is that water flows through the pipeline and is instantly vaporized. The vaporized steam is continuously output in an open pipeline. There is almost no water in the water pipe. Its steam generation principle is completely different from that of conventional water boiling. , it does not have explosion conditions. Therefore, the new steam generator can be extremely safe and there is absolutely no risk of explosion. It is not unreasonable to make the world without exploding boilers, it is achievable.

The development of science and technology, technological innovation, and the development of steam thermal energy equipment are also constantly improving. The birth of any new type of equipment is the product of market progress and development. Under the market demand for energy conservation and environmental protection, the advantages of new steam generators will also be It replaces the backward traditional steam equipment market, drives the market to develop more healthily, and provides an extra level of safety for the company’s production!
