Boilers PTVM-50 and PTVM-100
Equipment of this type is designed in such a way that the location of the convective heating surface is above the firebox, which is insulated with 0.6x3 mm tubes with a pitch of 65 mm. The number of convective sections of the PTVM-100 boiler is 8, the PTVM-50 boiler has 4 sections. The convective flue is lined on both sides with 0.83 x 3.5 mm pipes, connecting to the frame frame from above through manifolds, and expands freely.
Oil-fired boilers can be equipped with a washing device - a gas-pulse cleaning device designed to clean deposits from the heating area and external contamination of pipes with fuel oil. Each burner is equipped with a blower fan. The pressure of fuel oil burners is 19-40 kgf/cm2, gas burner pressure is 0.2 kgf/cm2. For both types of boilers, lightweight lining is installed with fastening to screen pipes - thickness 110 cm or less.
Regime card
A regime map is drawn up for each boiler.
According to the regime map, the hot water and (or) steam boiler is operated.
The main function of the regime map is to display the required gas and air pressure at any (usually several points are specified) boiler load.
At the same time, the combustion process must be stable and as complete as possible, and the operation of the boiler must be efficient and safe.
A regime map is drawn up based on the results of measurements, calculations and thermal tests by those organizations that carry out commissioning work. Such tests are carried out once every 3 years.
The regime map is executed both in the form of a table and in the form of a graph. If this is a table, then several operating modes are usually specified: 30, 50, 70, 100 percent of the boiler productivity.

Practical work 1. “Study of the boiler operating map”
Purpose of the work: to study the boiler operating map.
The student must:
know:
— structure of the enterprise’s energy department;
— functional responsibilities of officials and maintenance personnel of the power plant;
— content of the main regulatory documents regulating the operation of heating equipment and heating networks;
be able to:
- use the main document that determines the operating conditions of the boiler - the regime map.
General information
Boiler operating map.
Each boiler must have its own regime map.
The operation of a steam or hot water gas boiler must be carried out in accordance with its operating schedule.
The purpose of the regime map is to show the required gas and air pressure at a certain boiler load. In this case, the combustion process must be as complete and stable as possible, and the operation of the boiler must be efficient and safe.
The regime map is compiled based on the results of thermal technical tests by the organization carrying out commissioning work. Tests are carried out once every three years.
The regime map can be made in the form of a table or graph. In the case of a table, several operating modes are set in it: 30%, 50%, 70%, 100% of the boiler output.
Example of a boiler operation map
Measured parameter | 30% | 50% | 70% | 100% |
Steam capacity t/hour | 2,1 | 5,6 | 13,2 | 18,5 |
Gas pressure at burners kPa | 1,5 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Air pressure at burners kPa | 0,1 | 0,7 | 1,2 | 1,5 |
Gas content behind the boiler % | ||||
CO2 | 6,5% | 4,3% | 2,4% | 1,9% |
O2 | 1,2% | 0,5% | 0% | 0% |
CO | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
Exhaust gas temperature | 103 | 112 | 119 | 129 |
Heat loss with flue gases % | 5,3 | 5,6 | 6,1 | 6,7 |
Heat loss from chemical underburning % | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Heat loss to the environment % | 2,2 | 1,4 | 0,5 | 0,3 |
Gross efficiency % | 86,6 | 87,5 | 92,1 | 86,3 |
Net efficiency % | 83,2 | 85,1 | 88,3 | 87,2 |
There should be a duplicate of the regime card near each boiler. It must bear a signature from the organization that carried out the commissioning work.
The boiler operating mode must strictly comply with the operating schedule drawn up on the basis of equipment testing and operating instructions. In case of reconstruction of the boiler and change in the brand and quality of fuel, the regime map must be adjusted.
The regime map is a guide for maintenance personnel on maintaining the operating mode of the boiler and auxiliary equipment. It is compiled based on the results of operational adjustment or balance tests of the boiler. If a power plant has several boilers of the same type running on the same fuel, the full tests can be carried out on one of these boilers. For the remaining boilers of this series, based on the results of several experiments, the necessary clarifications are made to the regime map.
Operational and adjustment tests of a newly commissioned boiler are carried out immediately after the completion of the initial adjustment of the mode. During the initial commissioning period, maintenance personnel are issued temporary operating instructions. The regime map requires replacement or adjustment when switching to burning a new type or brand of fuel, after reconstruction of the combustion chamber, changing the layout of the heating surfaces. Separate adjustments are made to the regime map after carrying out such repair work as sealing the furnace and gas ducts, replacing cubes or packing of air heaters, installing additional means for cleaning heating surfaces, replacing or surfacing worn smoke exhaust blades, etc.
The regime map is compiled for thermal loads covering the full range of permissible boiler loads. It must indicate the values of the main parameters of the boiler: temperature of feed water, fresh steam and reheating steam, steam before injection, flue gases, fuel oil heating for fuel oil boilers, air in front of the air heater for sulfur and wet fuels and pressure in the primary air box for pulverized coal boilers .
One of the main indicators characterizing the operating mode of the boiler is the excess air in the combustion products, therefore, in the regime map for each boiler load, the value of the oxygen or carbon dioxide content in the flue gases behind the superheater must be indicated. In addition, the regime map provides instructions on the number and operating mode of burners or nozzles, fuel consumption (on gas-oil boilers), the number and load of draft machines included in the operation. It is advisable to include in the regime map some indicators that make it easier to maintain the optimal regime, for example, the temperature of the gases in the turning chamber, the air pressure behind the air heater, the resistance of the air heater, the air flow to the mills, etc.
The regime map indicates for what operating conditions of the boiler it was compiled (the main characteristics of the fuel, the presence of flame illumination with fuel oil or gas, re-cleaning of heating surfaces, the position of the regulators on the air ducts in front of the burners and on the gas recirculation lines, etc.).
For dust preparation systems with an intermediate dust bin, a separate regime map is drawn up, which indicates the optimal parameters of the dust preparation system (mill ball loading, fineness and moisture content of the dust, vacuum in front of the mill, its aerodynamic resistance, temperature of the drying agent behind the mill, ventilation air flow and mill fan loading ). The main operating parameters of mill systems in direct injection schemes are also entered into the boiler operating map. The settings of the automatic control system of the boiler must comply with the instructions of the regime map.
Questions:
1. Based on what tests is the regime map drawn up?
2.When the mode card requires replacement or adjustment
3.For what heat loads is the boiler operating schedule drawn up?
4.What are the main values of the boiler parameters indicated in the regime map?
5.What should the settings of the boiler automatic control system correspond to?

General information
Gas distribution installation (station) is a set of technological equipment that provides pressure reduction, cleaning and accounting of gas flow before supplying it to the gas distribution network.
Gas distribution installations provide gas supply from main gas pipelines and branches to populated areas, industrial and agricultural enterprises in a given quantity. The gas distribution unit is designed for operation outdoors in areas with seismicity up to 8 points in a temperate climate at temperatures from -400 to +500C and in cold climates at temperatures from -600 to +500C, which makes the gas distribution unit universal and independent of fluctuations in external temperature environment.
Main functions of the gas distribution plant:
- gas distribution installation is the reduction of high pressure gas to a specified low pressure and maintaining it with a certain accuracy;
- gas distribution installation is heating of gas before reduction;
- gas distribution installation is an automatic mode control. Gas distribution installation is the work of the station’s process equipment, including limiting gas supplies according to the requirements of the gas distribution organization (GDO);
- gas distribution installation is the issuance of emergency and warning signals in case of malfunctions to the control panel to the dispatcher or operator;
- gas distribution installation is a measurement of gas consumption with multi-day data recording and transfer of information to the level of the gas distribution organization;
- gas distribution plant - gas odorization;
- gas distribution unit - purification of gas from droplets of moisture and mechanical impurities;
- For each gas distribution unit (GRU), a passport is drawn up containing the main characteristics of the equipment, measuring instruments and premises. Technological diagrams, operating instructions, safety and fire safety instructions are posted at the State Distribution Unit (GRU);
- When operating the hydraulic fracturing unit (GRU), they perform maintenance, current and major repairs. The results of inspections (repairs) of equipment associated with the replacement of parts and components of equipment are entered into the passport of the State Register Office (GRU). All other work is recorded in the operational log, which also indicates violations of the normal operation of the equipment and measures taken to eliminate malfunctions;
- the settings of the hydraulic fracturing equipment (GRU) are set by the chief engineer of the gas enterprise for household consumers or the person responsible for the gas industry of gas consuming enterprises;
- at the same time, the maximum operating gas pressure after the regulator for household consumers should not exceed 300 daPa for natural gas pipelines. Safety relief valves, including those built into pressure regulators, must ensure gas relief when the maximum operating pressure after the regulator is exceeded by no more than 15%. The upper limit of operation of safety shut-off valves should not exceed 25% of the maximum operating gas pressure after the regulator. Gas pressure fluctuations at the outlet of the hydraulic fracturing unit (GRU) are not allowed to exceed 10% of the operating pressure. Malfunctions of regulators that cause an increase or decrease in operating pressure, malfunctions in the operation of safety valves, as well as gas leaks must be repaired immediately as an emergency;
- shut-off devices on the bypass line and in front of the relief safety valve must be sealed;
- gas supply through the bypass line is allowed only for the time necessary to repair equipment and fittings, or during the period of reducing the gas pressure before the hydraulic fracturing (GRU) to a value that does not ensure reliable operation of the pressure regulators.

Design and installation of the TVG 8M boiler
On the front wall of the boiler there are inspection holes through which the furnace cavity is inspected. During normal operation of the heater, the channels are filled with bricks that are not connected to the main wall.
The rear wall contains 2 valves, which are destroyed in the event of a possible explosion of a mixture of gas and oxygen in the firebox. The resulting gases squeeze out the safety elements and escape into the atmosphere; the boiler lining remains monolithic.
The design of the combustion screen manifolds includes drain lines that allow water to be removed from the heating circuit during repair or maintenance of the boiler. The drainage channels are equipped with manually operated taps.
To remove air pockets, a special purge system equipped with tubes and valves is used. Normal water circulation and heating to the set temperature are ensured only after gases are removed from the lines.
The external lining of the TVG 8M water heating installation consists of an internal part lined with fireclay-type firebricks. On the outside there is a second layer made of standard red brick. The design forms combustion chambers in which heating circuits are mounted.
Hot gases wash the surfaces of the pipes, providing an increase in water temperature with reduced heat loss to the environment. The plant declares efficiency at 90.2%; due to modernization (for example, replacing burners), the parameter reaches 95-96%.
How is documentation for the boiler prepared?
Each technical equipment requires serious and careful treatment. This becomes possible thanks to the skillful and professional use of instructions and various types of application manuals supplied with this or that equipment. That is why, as soon as you purchase something new, do not under any circumstances throw away everything that is included with your telephone, refrigerator, gas equipment, and even an iron and electric kettle. The fact is that even if you yourself are not able to cope with the procedures that are described there, they may be required by the specialists whom you hire to repair this or that equipment. Particular care must be taken when handling equipment that has a long service life and is not intended to be written off after a short period of use. Such equipment includes refrigerators, washing machines and, of course, gas boilers. The documents related to the last mentioned technical devices include the boiler operating map.
According to the principle of operation, boilers are classical and pyrolysis (gas generator).
Thanks to this documentation, the correct and uninterrupted operation of gas and water heating equipment is ensured. Its form is generally accepted and uniform. It was installed back in the Soviet Union, in 1984 by Glavgosgaznadzor.
Hot water boiler operating map table.
Most of the indicators located in a particular map are measured in percentages and allow you to measure the following:
- the amount of gas is located behind the boiler;
- percentage of heat loss that goes away with the burned gas;
- the amount of heat released during the operation of the heaters;
- the amount of heat lost as a result of chemical underburning;
- boiler efficiency (net and gross);
- percentage of gases such as oxygen, carbon and carbon monoxide.
Other values in the boiler operating charts:
- gas pressure;
- air pressure on burners;
- the number of vapors formed over a certain time;
- their outlet temperature.
All quantities are measured in appropriate units: degrees, kiloPascals, etc.
All boilers have their own mode maps.
They serve to ensure that with their help the most correct and efficient operation of both steam and gas and even water heating equipment is carried out.
The most basic quality of this map, which ensures the above-mentioned state of the boiler, is that it allows you to observe all the changes that occur during the operation of the equipment. For example, it displays how much gas or air pressure is needed for a particular load on the boiler. With all this, the safe operation of this equipment must also be ensured, as well as a complete and stable combustion process.

Table of test measurements.
In order for this document to be created, it is necessary to carry out a sufficiently large number of measurements and experiments (at the stage of production and commissioning of boilers). For this purpose, organizations specializing in commissioning carry out thermal testing. This is done every 3 years, and all sorts of calculations and measurements are also carried out here. Most often, a regime map looks like an ordinary table, which can be designed with a minimum of two columns, and a maximum of five. It depends on what operating modes are implied when operating the equipment. There are 4 of them in total: 100, 70, 50 and 30 percent modes. As for the number of lines, there are much more of them, since each of them individually indicates the parameters that were indicated above (their unit of measurement is indicated next to them in the first column; there is no separate column for them). Another option for designing a regime map is a schedule, but it is used much less frequently.
The map is usually produced in several (usually two) copies, one of which should be placed next to the cauldron, some even glue it to the cauldron. But if you are afraid for its safety, then make several additional copies yourself. In order for you to completely trust the data indicated on the card, the company that carried out the commissioning work puts a signature or brand name on it (or on the boiler itself).
In addition to the main indicators, the map also shows indicators of the dependence of gas pressure on boiler performance, as well as how much air pressure depends on gas pressure. These indicators become necessary so that you (or a master adjuster) can ensure the adjustment of a gas or water heating boiler both with accurate indicators on the map and with intermediate loads on it.
Return to contents
There is another option for designing a boiler regime map. It is used when it is equipped with a horizontal slot burner (injection). Here, instead of such an indicator as air pressure, the location of some devices is indicated. These include those parts that regulate the air supply: the gaps of the curtains on the blower sheet and the air control damper. In addition to them, it can be indicated how the profile dampers are located in it and the air proportioner on the bypass window.
In addition to some general regime maps, economizer maps are compiled. This is done when economizers are tested. After this, you will also need a summary statement, which reflects the results of absolutely all calculations and measurements. For the most complete description of the technical characteristics and capabilities of the boiler, as well as so that during adjustment or repair you can fully understand the proposed process, a full technical report is created. It depends on exactly what measurements and calculations (or some other additional measures) were performed. For equipment that was made in a new configuration (in other words, for converted boilers), it is necessary to evaluate in the reports how well the work done corresponds to the goals of the modernization and the entire project as a whole. Here it would be useful to analyze all the measures taken.
So, drawing up a regime map is necessary for the full and high-quality operation of various types of gas, water heating and even steam equipment. It should, if possible, be located close to the boiler so that you do not confuse any indicators and damage the unit.

Specifications
Primary air is supplied to the burner of the TVG-8 boiler by a Ts-13/50 blower fan for the TVG boiler, modification 5, with an air capacity of 13,000 m3/h. Air flow adjustment is carried out by the M30 actuator, working with the safety regulator R-25.3.2.
The M30 mechanism closes/opens the axial guide vane built into the air duct in front of the suction diffuser of the blower fan. The guide vane is controlled by the boiler operator remotely from the control panel or automatically by the boiler control system.
Flue gases move through smoke exhaust channels, through the firebox and economizer, thanks to the vacuum created by the D-18 smoke exhauster.
The operation of the smoke exhauster is controlled similarly to the operation of the fan through the actuator and vacuum regulator P25.1.2 installed on the boiler control panel.
Main technical parameters of the TVG 8 hot water boiler:
