In the boiler feed water system, the feed water pump is one of the core components, and its stable operation is directly related to the performance of the entire system. Unloader valves can automatically open when the feed water pump starts, release the air and preheating fluid in the pump body, effectively reduce the load impact when the pump starts, and prevent the pump from being damaged due to overload. This protection function is of great significance for extending the service life of the pump and reducing maintenance costs.
Optimize system flow and pressure
Automatically adjust the flow: During the operation of the boiler, the system flow and pressure may fluctuate due to load changes. Unloader valves can automatically adjust the opening according to the system pressure, thereby stabilizing the system flow and ensuring that the boiler operates under good conditions. This automatic adjustment function helps to reduce the impact on the boiler and pipeline caused by unstable flow and pressure, and improve the stability and reliability of the system.
Prevent water hammer: Water hammer is one of the common problems in the boiler feed water system, which can cause pipeline vibration, leakage and even rupture. Unloader valves can open quickly when the system pressure drops suddenly, release part of the fluid to slow down the rate of pressure change, effectively prevent the occurrence of water hammer, and protect pipelines and equipment from damage.
Improve system energy efficiency
Reduce energy consumption: By precisely controlling flow and pressure, unloader valves can ensure that the boiler operates with low energy consumption at a given load. This helps reduce boiler operating costs and improve overall energy efficiency.
Optimize thermal efficiency: In the boiler feed water system, reasonable flow distribution and temperature control are essential to improve thermal efficiency. Unloader valves can help the system achieve this goal, ensuring that the water temperature inside the boiler is evenly distributed, reducing heat loss and improving thermal efficiency.
