Boiler

A boiler is a closed vessel that generates steam or vapor under pressure or vacuum by heating water or another liquid using an external heat source. The key components of a boiler include a burner to provide heat, a heat exchanger to transfer heat without direct contact, supply and return lines to distribute heated water or steam, a firebox where fuel meets air to create flame, and circulator pumps to move the heated fluid. Boilers are commonly used in large facilities like hospitals to provide steam for processes like cooking, washing, and sterilization.

FUCTION

1 DEFINITION

A boiler is defined as "a closed vessel in which water or other liquid is heated, steam
or vapor is generated, steam is superheated, or any combination thereof, under
pressure or vacuum, for use external to itself, by the direct application of energy from
the combustion of fuels, from electricity or nuclear energy."

Key Components of Boilers are
Burner The burner is the component of boiler that provides the heat that heats the water of system. The fuels used can be
natural gas or oil.
Heat exchanger The heat exchanger of boiler allows the heat from the burner to heat the water in system. The job of the heat
exchanger is to carry the heat from the burner to the water without having direct contact with the water. Its a similar idea to
boiling water in a pot.
Supply lines Hydronic heating systems use piping to deliver the heated water or steam to the distribution points, and the
supply lines are the pipes that distribute the hot water or steam to distributor.
Return lines When the water cools, or the steam cools and changes states back to water, the return lines bring this water back
to the boiler for re-heating.
Firebox The firebox is where the fuel of system meets the air, creating a flame.
Refractory Refractory actually refers to refractory materials that are used for filling any gaps and/or openings that may be
around the fire box this helps ensure the fire stays in the fire box.
Circulator pumps circulator pumps push the hot water or steam from system to the heat distributors in our homes.
Deaerators/Condenser Deaerator and condenser tanks are only used in steam boiler systems and not in hot water and hot oil
boil because here the fluid always is on liquid form. The construction of these two types of tanks is almost identical, but as their
names suggest, they are used for different purposes. Two primary principles are used with this form of tank design: thermal and
vacuum. This depends on which type of boiler being used. Each principle also has different pump construction requirements.

Thermo principle
A tank using the thermal principle is connected to the atmosphere. This design is normally used in smaller plants. Here, steam is
used to maintain tank water temperature at around 105C, which removes air from the water.

Vacuum principle
Here, an ejector pump is used to create a vacuum in the tank. This causes the tank water to start boiling because of the low
temperature, which in turn removes air from the water. This principle is normally used for steam turbine applications.

The Arzobispo Loayza hospital , is
one biggest hospitals in lima so it
need a system to cook, wash,
Sterilize enter others.
That system is a steam generator .
