Answer: To keep the oil heated up as well as prevent heat loss from the steam.

Why in the condenser hot medium is outside and in the heater hot medium is inside?

  • In the condenser hot medium is outside to assist heat radiation
  • In the heater hot medium is kept inside to prevent heat loss

Why nox in the steam atomization burner is low while pressure atomization burner is high?

Answer:

  • High oil pressure and high oil temperature in the pressure atomization burner produce high NOx
  • But in steam atomization burner, high oil pressure and high oil temperature produce low NOx this is because of the steam which absorb some of the heat produced.

PA = Pressure Atomising         (KBO)

RC = Rotary Cup                      (KB, Aalborg make)

SA = Steam Atomising (KBSA, KBSD, Aalborg make)

How would you relate boiler combustion to MARPOL Annex VI regulations?

Answer:

  • The NOx Technical Code applies only to diesel engines and does not apply to boiler combustion
  • However, Regulation 14 applies. The sulphur content when in ECA area has to be limited to 0.1% and from 1st January 2020, the global Sulphur limit is 0.5%
  • Continuous emission of black smoke is prohibited
