Discussion on removing the burner protection pump
Thread Content
I want to remove our burner protection pump and use boiler feed water instead, so as to save electricity for the company. However, I haven’t yet figured out exactly how to do this. I have an idea; let’s discuss it: use a tee fitting on the boiler feed water inlet pipe and connect it to the water supply for the burners, while connecting the return water from the burners to the desalinated water return pipe, or to the waste heat discharge pipe. What do you think of this approach? Thank you
Not feasible. 1. If the boiler feedwater temperature is too high, the heat exchange efficiency is poor. 2. Excessive pressure entering the desalination water pipe affects the smooth flow of the desalinated water.
I agree with the opinion in point 1 above: the pressure of the boiler feed water pump varies (sometimes it is adjusted according to the steam system), and it is best that the pressure of the cooling water in the burner jacket does not fluctuate frequently.
