Abstract
A
novel laboratory type condensing boiler was developed and a data acquisition
system was set up in order to measure physical magnitudes related to the
performance of the developed boiler. A closed circuit water circulation system
was included in the experimental setup in order to circulate water as the
energy carrier fluid. The boiler was operated according to the predetermined
parameters and data acquisition system collect the data from electronic
transmitters placed in the probes at the certain points in the experimental
setup. All these results were presented in graphical form and they are
interpreted in terms of physics related to the phenomena. The temperature
increase in the boiler changes in a parabolic manner. At the beginning of the
incident, convection dominantly occurs in respect of heat transfer even though
radiation also exists. However radiation contributes more with elapsed time in
the experiment and temperature rise curve deviates from the linear path.
Numerical analyses can contribute to the findings as well as design parameters.
