IMPROVEMENT OF STEAM BOILER PLANT EFFICIENCY BASED ON RESULTS OF ON-LINE PERFORMANCE MONITORING
A steam boiler in its original meaning is an object in which thermal energy, resulting from combustion of organic fuels, is transferred through heat surfaces to a working fluid which evaporates in the boiler with the steam further overheated to a certain temperature. steam boiler bec me more complex, in order to fulfil con demands for more efficient transformation of fuel chemical energy into thermal energy and its efficient transfer to a working fluid. With such an aim, steam boiler with additional equipment and such a complex assembly of different machines and devices connected to classical furnace and heat exchangers was named steam boiler plant. During the last decades, due to boiler plants of large capacities and high parameters with intensification and automation of all processes inside the plant, a term "steam generator" was adopted which mainly refers to large power units. Over the time, the a stant
