Details

The header is a pipe fitting for mixing boiler working medium and ensuring uniform heating of working medium.Industrial boiler furnace wall is usually composed of rows and rows of tubes (water wall) together, but boiler huge volume, complicated structure, cannot guarantee that all the working medium in the pipe of heat absorption capacity is the same, different parts of heat absorption differs a lot, install header can let each pipe working medium inside converge here, the redistribution to the next level in the tube, so that we can reduce the thermal deviation, make the working medium heat, cooling flow, boiler, the boiler thermal efficiency are optimized to improve;In addition, the size, number and arrangement of the tubes in the upper, middle and lower parts of the boiler are different, and the header is responsible for connecting the sections to ensure the smooth circulation of the working medium.

The pressures and temperatures that headers have to withstand depend on the component to which they are connected. A header connected to an economizer or to water wall panels is subject to less severe requirements on the material than a header connected to superheaters or reheaters.
Depending on the temperature and pressure of headers, Vallourec supplies tubes in carbon steel to high-alloy ferritic steels such as T/P91 or T/P92, with sizes ranging from 88.9 mm to 406.4 mm.
