In industrial production, the boiler is one of the indispensable equipment, it provides the heat energy for various processes. With the development of technology, oil-fired and electric industrial boilers have gradually become the mainstream choice in the market. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages, best use and cost comparison of these two kinds of boilers to help enterprises make wise decisions.
Oil-fired industrial boiler is a kind of boiler which uses fuel oil(diesel oil, heavy oil, residual oil, etc.) as fuel. Its core function is heating water to steam or hot water, providing thermal energy drive for industrial production.
Power production industrial boiler is the use of electrical energy as a heat source of the boiler. It converts electrical energy into heat energy through an electric heating element, which heats water or other medium inside the boiler. Electric boiler has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and no pollution. It is suitable for places with high requirements of environmental protection, such as hospitals, schools, scientific research institutions and so on.
High thermal efficiency: The thermal efficiency of oil-fired boilers is usually between 85% and 90%an effectively use the calorific value of fuel, reduce energy waste.
Flexible operation: Oil-fired boiler start and stop fast, according to production needs to quickly adjust the load. Oil-fired boiler is suitable for a variety of industrial production scenarios, such as chemical, food processing, textile and other industries, be able to meet different process requirements.
Environmental pollution: Fuel oil-fired boiler combustion process will produce a large number of pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, Have a greater impact on the environment.
High fuel costs: Fuel prices are relatively high and are greatly affected by oil price fluctuations in the international market, increasing the uncertainty of operating costs.
High maintenance requirements: Oil-fired boilers require regular cleaning of combustion chambers and nozzles to prevent carbon deposition and blockage, increasing maintenance costs and workload.
Environmental protection: Electric industrial boiler does not produce pollutant emissions and meet strict environmental protection requirements.
Simple operation: The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and easy maintenance, and is suitable for places with low requirements for operators.
High safety: Electric boiler adopts advanced safety protection system, which can effectively prevent electrical failure and overheating.
Flexible Installation: Electric boiler does not need complex fuel pipeline, flexible installation location, according to the actual needs of the layout.
High initial investment: The equipment cost of electric boiler is relatively high, especially high-power electric boiler, need large initial investment.
High operating costs: The price of electricity is usually higher than that of gas, and the long-term operating costs are higher, especially in the case of large fluctuations in energy prices.
Power supply constraints: The operation of electric boilers depends on a stable power supply. In the event of a power failure, the boilers will not work and may affect production.
Oil-fired industrial boilers are suitable for industrial production sites that require high thermal efficiency and operational flexibility. For example, in the chemical industry, oil-fired boilers can provide stable steam for reactor heating, distillation and other processes; in the food processing industry, Oil-fired boiler can be used for cooking, sterilization and other processes.
Electric industrial boilers are more suitable for places with high environmental requirements, such as hospitals, schools, scientific research institutions and so on. In these places, the pollution-free characteristics of electric boilers can meet the strict environmental requirements. In addition, electric boilers are also suitable for small-scale industrial production, such as small-scale processing plants, laboratories, etc.
Gas-fired boiler investment: The initial investment includes boiler equipment cost, gas pipeline laying cost, etc. Generally speaking, the equipment cost of gas boiler is relatively low, but the laying cost of gas pipeline is high, especially for the place where there is no ready-made gas pipeline.
Electric Boiler: The equipment cost of electric boiler is high, especially high-power electric boiler. However, electric boilers do not require fuel pipelines and are relatively cheap to install.
The operation cost of gas-fired boiler mainly depends on the gas price and the thermal efficiency of the boiler. Although the gas price is relatively high, the high efficiency gas boiler can reduce the operation cost to a certain extent.
The operation cost of electric boiler mainly depends on the price of electricity. Because electricity prices are usually higher than gas, the long-term running costs of electric boilers can be higher.
Oil-fired boiler maintenance costs are relatively low, mainly regular inspection and replacement of some vulnerable parts, Such as burners, valves, etc.
Electric boiler maintenance costs are low, mainly regular inspection of electrical systems and heating components. However, due to the high cost of electric boiler equipment, once the failure, maintenance costs may be higher.
When choosing a boiler, enterprises should take into account their own production needs, budget and energy supply conditions, and comprehensively consider various factors to select the most suitable type of boiler. If you have any needs, please contact us for detailed consultation.
