Abstract

Hot water boilers are most commonly used devices in thermal and industrial plants for heat production. Boilers elements are exposed to high pressures and temperatures during boiler operation. Non-stationary working regimes of boiler may lead to breakdowns and fatigue of boiler elements. There are numerous cases of breakdowns of such units, which lead to reduced reliability and safety of the plant. In order to avoid this state, certain investigation should be made that would examine the influence of different regimes on the boiler structure. Lack of available data concerning the temperature as well as stress-strain field in boiler elements led us to perform such kind of experiment. This paper presents results of numerical analysis performed on the modelled boiler. Validation of the numerical model was performed based on experimental results obtained using DIC (Digital Image Correlation) method by using Aramis system. The character of parameters change, such as strain and stress, occurring in the critical zones of boiler elements can be verified both by experimental and numerical results. In this paper the novel approach of experimental and numerical analysis is presented. The method can be used and conducted in similar units for testing on different loads or working regimes, as well as to improve the safety and reliability of similar pressure vessel units.
