Approaches to design a boiler

Traditionally the boilers used in all the industrial sectors were of steam.

When they begin to arise the boilers of thermal oil as alternative to the heating with steam in Spain, PIROBLOC was pioneer in this type of technology, not only using the imagination to create an own design, but also thinking of other important parameters, besides offering the vertical alternative to the existent horizontality in the market. 

In the design of a boiler they are important the hydraulic and thermodynamic simulations of the same one, under certain conditions given “a priori”; the correct calculations of the chimneys in relation to the combustion chamber and the dimensions of the pipe of installation of the boiler, besides the exhaustive calculations of the pressure body and its curvature. On the other hand, a thermal correct insulation of the boiler body will avoid leaks of heat and it will contribute to a more efficient yield of the group, as well as to a saving of fuel.

Lastly, a correct selection of the materials of production will be essential to obtain a “brilliant product”.

Improvements in the blog

The last days, we have been modifying the design and content of the Blog. Our objective was to improve the use of the Blog and to provide pursuit easiness to the readers. As you can see, we continue of taking advantage of the tools that the Web 2.0 model provides to us (in our opinion, the way to follow).

We have added new tools like the following:

• Fast access

• Possibility of adding blog in the favourites of the reader

• Possibility of adding blog in pages of beginning like Google or Netvibes

• To receive the new entrances by RSS with many RSS readers

• To receive the new entrances by mail

• Contact form.

And also, there are in addition 2 graphical complements:

• Album of photos

• Published videos

In order to improve mobility and access to the different existing sections within the Blog, we have positioned in the left lateral menu those sections related to the content of the Blog (published archives, categories, RSS,…) and in the right menu we have introduced those sections related to us (presentation, form of contact,…).

We hope that these changes help and make more agile east you blog. Without a doubt we are open to your commentaries, proposals and critics since we oriented blog exclusively.

NEW ATEX HEATER OF PIROBLOC

PIROBLOC already has in operation a new thermal fluid heater in which their components fulfill ATEX rules (for facilities in atmospheres with explosion risk). In this occasion, we have supplied again for the petrochemical sector, a thermal fluid unit which it develops a nominal power of 2.000.000 kcal/h.

Its start up in a crude extraction plant in the North of Africa, it allows to optimize the treatment of the petroleum crude in the process made between the stages of separation of high and medium pressure, which it is usually made in this type of plants.

The limit of provision in this case, has reached to the body of the heater (designed according with ASME code, as well as the expansion and collection tanks) and to the burner, the recirculation pump, the electrical panel and the motor-driven reversible pump, components all of them that fulfill ATEX rules.

With this type of special executions, PIROBLOC wondered if it would be necessary to change our external design for this special line of product or continuing with our particular and characteristic colour with which we are identified in the market...
