Abstract:

This paper is concerned with how energy saving in steam boiler system. The simple mathematical model of a steam boiler has been developed for calculating boiler efficiency by using java web application. The Model shows the influence of the most effective parameters on the boiler performance and its applications in two types of boilers (water and fire tube boilers). The findings showed, in the case of a water tube boiler when natural gas fuel used, every 10% in the excess air causing decreasing boiler efficiency by 0.37%. Also every 10% (20◦C) increase in temperature of flue gases causing decreasing in boiler efficiency by 1 %, and every 10% (7-8)◦C increase in feed water temperature causing increasing in boiler efficiency by 1%,, In case of fire tube boiler when liquid fuel (solar) used, every 10% increase in the excess air causing decreasing in boiler efficiency by 5%, every 10 %( 20◦C) increase in temperature of flue gases causing decreasing in boiler efficiency by 1-2%, The model gave acceptable agreement with experimental data measured, in addition, the model has economic and environmental effect.
