Substance of problem
The essence of the problem: about 35 thousand NIISTU-5 boilers are operated in Ukraine, the heating capacity of which does not exceed 0.6 Gcal/h, and the efficiency is 75-80 %. The proposed development provides, through the reconstruction of NIISTU-5 boilers, an increase in their thermal capacity and efficiency. The cost of reconstruction of such inefficient boilers is 3-4 times lower than replacing them with new ones.
Description of technology
Reconstruction of NIISTU-5 boilers is carried out by introducing new design elements, namely: additional convective heating surfaces and new upgraded slot burners (with or without radiators).
There are three options for the reconstruction of boilers:
- installation of single-row additional convective heating surfaces and slot burners without emitters.This provides an increase in efficiency by 10-12 %;
- installation of double-row additional convective heating surfaces and slot burners without emitters. Provides an increase in efficiency and an increase in thermal power by 60-70 %;
- the introduction of slit burners with emitters provides an increase in efficiency by 4-5 %.
