What's the difference between a steam generator and a gas boiler?

1. Properties of steam generator: mechanical equipment that uses the heat energy of fuel or other energy sources to heat water into hot water or steam.

2. Nature of gas-fired boilers: boilers using gas as fuel.

Second, the characteristics are different.

1, steam generator features: the steam-water separation device separates water from steam. The separated saturated steam flows from the upper part of the drum to the superheater, continues to absorb heat, becomes superheated steam at 450℃, and then is sent to the turbine. In the combustion and flue gas system, the blower sends air into the air preheater and heats it to a certain temperature.

2, the characteristics of gas boiler:

(1) Large font displays water temperature, which is convenient for boiler and system operation. The water temperature can be set arbitrarily between 10℃ and 90℃. Boiler automatic heating system can provide users with hot water for living and bathing.

(2) The control system controls the start and stop of the circulating pump according to the boiler water temperature, and starts the hot water circulating pump when the boiler water temperature reaches the set upper limit. When the temperature is lower than the set lower limit, the hot water circulating pump stops.

Extended data:

Gas boilers can be divided into natural gas boilers, city gas boilers, coke oven gas boilers, liquefied petroleum gas boilers and biogas boilers according to fuel; According to the function, it can be divided into KS-Q gas-fired boiling water boiler, CLHS/CWNS gas-fired hot water boiler (including gas-fired heating boiler and gas-fired bath boiler), LHS/WNS gas-fired steam boiler, etc.

There are three combustion modes for boilers: stratified combustion (fire bed combustion), combustion chamber combustion (suspension combustion) and boiling combustion. Various combustion modes have corresponding combustion equipment. Fixed grate, chain grate, reciprocating grate, vibrating grate, etc. It belongs to stratified combustion type and is suitable for burning solid fuel.
