How are gas steam boilers simulated or trained through simulation?

This post was last edited by simpse on 2011-7-1 07:48. 1. Feed water pump 2. Fuel system 3. Fan 4. Burner 5. Drum 6. Superheater. 2. The accuracy level of simulation you require; for example, for the feed water pump, if it is driven by a turbine, then the simulation of the turbine is necessary (warm-up, speed increase, surface cooler, steam evacuation). Fuel automatic control system (air volume ratio), ignition sequence, and so on. Many companies claim to be able to do it, and their technical capabilities vary. For example, whether you require a match between the fuel volume and the steam production volume, whether the steam consumption is consistent with the power output to the pump, and so on. 3. Your budget, the deadline you require. The key question is how much money you are willing to spend, how much time you have, and what requirements you have – only then can others recommend companies to you. It’s that you can’t just say generally, “I want to have lunch; how many restaurants can offer that?” You need to state your standards and requirements first, so that others can tell you which companies are capable of doing it.

Reply to 2# simpse: Hello, thank you for your reply and advice. Sorry for the late reply. I am interested in knowing which of the existing commercial simulation software options allow me to create my own gas-fired steam boilers. These tools should be able to simulate accurately the dynamic changes in the drum liquid level and outlet pressure, as well as variations in the heat generated by gas combustion. Additionally, they should enable the simulation of control systems such as those for controlling the drum liquid level and steam pressure. It mainly involves the simulation of evaporation, combustion, and heat exchange processes; the feed water pump and steam turbine are not considered for now. Could you also recommend some software that can be used independently for this purpose? Thank you~

I’m not aware of any platform software like HYSYS or DynSim that can be used freely without having to purchase a license.

Reply to 4# simpse: That’s right, it’s just a matter of doing some research on your own; it’s best to use these free options. It seems that the forum members are very familiar with these software. Could you also explain how to simulate furnaces and steam drums in HYSYS? Using heat exchangers and tanks, how is heat transfer achieved, and how is the evaporation rate determined? Thank you~

The combustor, exchanger, and drum are all standard modules; you just need to connect them together. You don’t have to worry about how heat exchange takes place or how equilibrium is achieved – it will be calculated automatically
