Understanding Combustion Boilers

Part 1：What are Combustion Boilers?

Combustion boilers are essential devices used to generate steam or hot water by burning fuel. They operate on the principle of converting fuel’s chemical energy into thermal energy through the combustion process. This energy is then used in various applications, including heating, power generation, and industrial processes.

Types and Classification of Combustion Boilers

Combustion boilers can be classified based on several criteria, including the type of fuel used, design, and operational aspects. Key classifications include:

By Fuel Type:

Gas-Fired Boilers: Utilize natural gas or propane as fuel.

Oil-Fired Boilers: Use oil products, including diesel, as the primary fuel source.

Coal-Fired Boilers: Operate using coal, often used in large power plants.

Biomass-Fired Boilers: Use fuels like wood chips, biomass pellets, and rice husks.

By Design:

Fire Tube Boilers: Hot gases pass through tubes surrounded by water. They are known for their compact design.

Water Tube Boilers: Water flows through tubes that are surrounded by hot gases, allowing for high pressure and large steam output.

By Operational Aspect:

Condensing Boilers: Recover some of the heat from flue gases, improving efficiency.

Non-Condensing Boilers: Traditional systems that do not reclaim heat from exhaust gases.

Understanding these classifications helps in selecting the right type of combustion boiler for specific applications.

ZOZEN WNS Series Gas/Oil Fired Combustion Boiler

ZOZEN WNS series horizontal internal combustion boiler is a boiler shell type 3 passes wetback oil/gas fired boiler. After fuel is being atomized by burner, flame is full of the wave furnace and transfer heat via furnace wall, this is 1st pass; the high temperature smoke is collected in reversal chamber and then enters 2nd pass which is grooved tubes bundle area; after heat convection, air temperature gradually falls and goes to front smoke box and turn to 3rd pass, which is smooth tubes bundle area, and then enters chimney passing back smoke box and exhausted to the atmosphere.

Main Specifications:

Thermal capacity: 1-20 t/h

Working pressure：0.7-2 MPa

High thermal efficiency:＞98% (with a condenser)

Available fuel：Natural gas, coke oven gas, biogas, diesel, heavy oil, light oil, crude oil, etc.

Export to Mongolia: ZOZEN 8 tph Three-Pass Gas-Fired Steam Boilers for Coca-Cola Project

MCS Coca-Cola LLC became Coca-Cola’s authorized bottler in Mongolia in September 2001, helping the local market integrate with modern industry standards. Its parent company, MCS Group, was founded in 1993, starting with energy consulting. Today, it operates across multiple sectors, and its subsidiaries play a significant role in Mongolia’s economic growth.

To expand into new categories such as iced tea and juice, MCS Coca-Cola urgently needed highly efficient and stable steam boilers to support production. Because these new products require stringent temperature control, the stability of the steam boilers directly impacts product quality.

After three WNS series gas-fired steam boilers were installed, they delivered outstanding real-world performance in MCS Coca-Cola’s production. The burner atomizes the fuel for full combustion in the corrugated furnace, and the three-pass design ensures thorough heat utilization, significantly boosting thermal efficiency and effectively reducing fuel consumption. An intelligent control system precisely adjusts operating parameters, while 24/7 water level and pressure monitoring ensure stable and safe boiler operation.

ZOZEN Boiler is recognized for its innovative combustion boilers, designed to meet the varied needs of different industries. Let’s explore the key components of ZOZEN’s combustion boilers, focusing on the combustion system, structure and design, control and safety features, and advantages.

ZOZEN SZL Series Coal Fired Combustion Boiler

ZOZEN SZL series coal-fired boiler is a chain grate water tube boiler designed by ZOZEN Boiler based on advanced international technology and experience. It features a horizontal double-drum and vertical layout structure. The boiler consists of two major parts: the upper part is the heating surface and the lower part is the combustion equipment. The front of the boiler body is surrounded by water-cooled walls. The upper part is connected with drum and the lower part is connected with the header to form the combustion chamber, absorbing the radiation heat of the furnace. At the rear end, a convection tube bundle is arranged between the upper and lower drums. After the fuel is burned in the furnace, the high-temperature flue gas is swept across the convection tube bundle for the secondary return, then guided to a separately arranged economizer and finally enters the dust collector before being discharged through the chimney.

Main Specifications:

Thermal capacity: 6-35 t/h

Working pressure：1-2.5 MPa

High thermal efficiency:＞81%

Available fuel：Bituminous coal, lean coal, anthracite
