Dry Ice Cleaning of Boilers – Increasing Power Generation

In the field of building materials, boilers are key equipment for waste heat power generation, and their operating status directly affects the level of power generation. Dry ice cleaning technology is opening up a new path to increase power generation.
During long-term operation of the boiler, a large amount of impurities such as ash, carbon deposits, and corrosion products will inevitably adhere to the heating surface. These dirt not only reduce the heat transfer efficiency, making it difficult for the heat generated by fuel combustion to be fully absorbed by water and converted into steam, resulting in a significant reduction in power generation efficiency, but also cause local overheating of equipment, increasing maintenance costs and safety hazards.
Dry ice cleaning technology has played a unique advantage at this time. When dry ice particles impact the heating surface of the boiler at high speed, their extremely low temperature (-78.5 ℃) causes the dirt to quickly freeze and become brittle, greatly reducing its adhesion to the heating surface. At the same time, the strong airflow generated by the sublimation of dry ice directly peels off the brittle dirt, and the entire process does not require dismantling the boiler, making it efficient and convenient.
After dry ice cleaning, the heating surface of the boiler is restored to a smooth and new state, and the heat transfer efficiency is significantly improved. The fuel can burn more fully and release heat, which is efficiently absorbed by water and converted into steam to drive the steam turbine for power generation. This means that with the same fuel input, the power generation can be significantly increased, achieving efficient energy utilization and reducing operating costs for enterprises, thereby improving economic efficiency.
Moreover, compared to traditional chemical cleaning or high-pressure water rinsing, dry ice cleaning has no water residue, does not cause secondary corrosion, and avoids a large amount of wastewater treatment problems, demonstrating its environmental advantages. In the pursuit of sustainable development, boiler dry ice cleaning is undoubtedly a powerful guarantee for power companies to increase power generation and enhance competitiveness, injecting strong impetus into the steady development of the energy industry.http://www.gbqxsb.com
