Development of Biofuel Steam and Hot-Water Boilers for Russian Energy Sector Needs

摘要

The article describes the results of the first stage of developing high efficiency biofuel boilers. This development is very important for Russia due to two main reasons. The first reason is large demands of remote regions in heat and power supply. The second reason is significant deposits of wood in Russia, especially wood waste. The objectives of this stage are the choice of operation parameters, choice of main technical and design solutions and preliminary thermal calculations of the boiler. High efficiency of its performance is achieved by using a condenser unit for flue gas cooling. In the result, construction of the boilers was developed. No similar technical solution exists in the Russian industry at the moment.
