Experimental Study of a Coil Type Steam Boiler Operated on an Oil Field in the Subarctic Continental Climate

Abstract

Transportable boiler plants are widespread in the northern regions of the Russian Federation and have a large and stable demand in various spheres of life. The equipment used and the schemes of existing boiler plants are outdated—they require replacement and modernization. Our proposed new installation includes a coil type steam boiler and ancillary equipment designed with the identified deficiencies in mind. The steam boiler coils are coaxial cylinders. The scope of the modernized transportable boiler plant is an oil field in the subarctic continental climate. The work is aimed at completing an experimental and theoretical study of the operation of a coil type steam boilers under real operating conditions. Experimental data on the operation of boiler plants are presented. The dependences of the fuel consumption of boiler plants on the temperature and pressure of the coolant are obtained. Statistical analysis is applied to the collected data. Conclusions are formulated and a promising direction is laid out for further research and improvement of coil type steam boilers. Equations are proposed for calculating the convective component of radiant-convective heat transfer in gas ducts, taking into account the design features of boiler units by introducing new correction factors. Comparison of the calculated and experimental data showed their satisfactory agreement.

“…In the study [25], the direction of analysis laid down in [23] was partially continued. Finally, similar methods of thermodynamic analysis were used in [26,27]. It is rational to set the integration limits from −∞ to the maximum specific exergy value, emax, which corresponds to the upper limit of integration:…”

Methodological Foundations for Modeling the Processes of Combining Organic Fuel Generation Systems and Photovoltaic Cells into a Single Energy Technology Complex

“…Technical and technological models should describe the dynamics of the physical interaction of objects of the hybrid network of the complex being formed. Taking into account the scientific and practical results of the research, the article examines in detail the possibilities of improving the 3rd efficiency of hybrid energy micro-grid facilities [1][2][3][4][5]. The predominantly heat-energy nature of the study determines the geographical limitations on the scale of the complex being formed: objects II-V can be placed at distances of no more than 25 km (the maximum possibility of network physical interaction according to the permissible 3rd efficiency of heat transfer).…”

“…To identify the degree of scientific and practical development of the research problem, the following actions are necessary [5,6]. Firstly, the identification of the subject and objects of study in accordance with the keywords is needed; secondly, the definition of the database and its limitations is identified.…”

“…Software systems based on neural network algorithms should be able to process a large array of data and select the weight coefficients of the controlled parameters. Therefore, Kosko neural network algorithms are suitable for these purposes [1][2][3][4][5]. SCADA systems are designed for process control.…”
