Reasonable selection, maintenance and energy saving of burners in asphalt mixing plants
Automatic control burners have been developed into a series of burners such as light oil burners, heavy oil burners, gas burners, and oil and gas burners. The reasonable selection and maintenance of burners can save a lot of money and extend the life of the combustion system. In recent years, facing the reduction in profits caused by rising oil prices, many asphalt mixing station merchants have begun to look for suitable alternative fuels to improve their competitiveness. Road construction machinery has always been biased towards the use of geothermal power generation fuel burners due to the special factors of its working conditions and use sites. In the past few years, light oil was mostly used as the main fuel, but due to the rapid increase in costs caused by the continuous rise in light oil prices, most of them have been biased towards the use of heavy oil burners in recent years. Now a cost budget comparison of light and heavy oil models is made for reference: For example, a 3000-type asphalt mixing equipment has a daily output of 1,800 tons and is used 120 days a year, with an annual output of 1,800×120=216,000 tons. Assuming the ambient temperature is 20°, the discharge temperature is 160°, the aggregate moisture content is 5%, and the fuel demand of a good model is about 7kg/t, the annual fuel consumption is 216000×7/1000=1512t.
Diesel price (calculated in June 2005): 4500 yuan/t, four months cost 4500×1512=6804,000 yuan.
Heavy oil price: 1800~2400 yuan/t, four months cost 1800×1512=2721,600 yuan or 2400×1512=3628,800 yuan. Using heavy oil burners in four months can save 4082,400 yuan or 3175,200 yuan.
As the demand for fuel changes, the quality requirements for burners are also getting higher and higher. Good ignition performance, high combustion efficiency, and wide adjustment ratio are often the goals pursued by various bridge crane construction units. However, there are many burner manufacturers with different brands. Only by choosing the right one can the above requirements be met.
