Boiler Description
Description
The PYROTEC Grate Firing System (patent no: EP 0 905
442 B1) was developed for automatic combustion of all dry
to moist wood fuels (remnant wood, pellets and forest wood
chips to max. W50, (see section “Wood Fuel Requirements”)
and combines the benefits of underfeed firing with the
benefits of grate firing.
The PYROTEC Grate Firing System is characterized by
highest efficiencies and perfect combustion in all load
stages. The PYROTEC Boiler Plant has been built to
ASME Sec. IV and has CRN for Canada. It is tested and
approved to the applicable CSA / UL safety standards.
Function:
- The solid, powerful and heat-resistant in-feed auger
moves the fuel over the burner trough into the
descending and moving grate zone. An electrical
and mechanical temperature sensor to operate the
thermal extinguishing valve are located on the in-feed
auger. Above the auger is the metering container with
a light barrier for setting the level of the fuel insulating
layer.
- The fuel is either ignited manually or automatically with
an automatic ignition blower (optional). The boiler
features a reliable burner trough, a descending grate and
a moving burn-out grate made from highly-refractory
cast steel [approx. bin. (12 mm)]. These items allow
to achieve excellent performance control and highest
safety against back-burn in conjunction with an automatic
de-ashing system (optional) for the combustion chamber.
The solid, horizontally positioned and large-volume
fire box has been optimized in terms of combustion,
consists of a high-quality refractory brick lining and
has multiple layers of insulation for the lowest possible
surface temperatures. A variable speed primary air
blower provides preheated air to the combustion grates
in the fire box.
- In the upper part of the fire box, the secondary air is
blown into the gas space of the firing system by
variable speed blower via an encircling ring with
individually adjustable nozzles to achieve high
turbulence. This mixes the fuel gases with fresh
secondary air to achieve perfect combustion and very
low emissions.
The fire box door is solidly constructed, air-cooled and
very well insulated. The fire box door is equipped with
solid double-jointed hinges for easy maintenance.
The heat is transferred to the water in the horizontal
tube heat exchanger. The boiler is well insulated and
highly accessible through the boiler door on the front.
A pneumatic cleaning system (optional) can be installed
at the insulated boiler door.
- The flue gas blower has been specially designed for
wood burning boilers and quiet operation. The spring-
suspended motor has a solid, heat-resistant design
with a heat dissipation hub. The blower housing on
the intake can be mounted radial by 360° and has a
variable rotation speed and a round blow-out nozzle.
It is mounted directly on the boiler or on the flue gas
de-duster (optional).
