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. The combustion medium of steam generators can be divided into many types. According to the combustion medium, steam generators can be divided into gas steam generators, coal-fired steam generators, oil-fired steam generators and electric heating steam generators. Since different products have their own advantages and disadvantages, we need to understand their advantages and disadvantages before purchasing so that we can buy a more suitable product.
Fuel steam generator
Advantages: It burns quickly, there is no coking problem in the furnace, and the fuel steam generator is not restricted in the use site, so it is suitable for outdoor use. The volumetric heat load of the furnace is relatively high, nearly twice that of a coal-fired boiler, and is safer.
Disadvantages: This type of steam generator is widely used, but if the price of oil is too high, it will also increase production costs. And due to emission problems, fuel steam generators are not suitable for areas with very strict environmental protection requirements.
Gas steam generator
Advantages: The steam generator is recommended by the government and has begun to be used in many places. Efficiency and environmental protection are the biggest advantages of gas steam generators. Natural gas burns without impurities, causing no damage to the steam generator and related accessories, and the boiler has a long service life.
Disadvantages: The use of gas steam generators is subject to site conditions. It can only be used in places with gas pipelines. In some backward places where gas is not available, natural gas cannot be used.
Electric heating steam generator
Advantages: The biggest advantage of the electric steam generator is environmental protection, because it does not burn itself and does not produce any polluting emissions. Of course, due to water quality reasons, sewage still needs to be discharged, but this is not the reason for the equipment itself. Moreover, the steam amount range that the electric steam generator can provide will be relatively large.
Disadvantages: Larger-power electrical generators require three-phase power, but some places do not have this condition. It is expensive to ask the power company to pull the wires separately, and the preheating time of the electric steam generator will be slightly longer than that of oil and gas.
Nobeth steam generator is stable and efficient, low-nitrogen and environmentally friendly, safe and worry-free, with fully intelligent operation and remote monitoring, which can better save manpower and material resources.
