What is Boiler Sand?

Boiler sand refers to a specific type of sand used in industrial boilers, particularly in fluidized bed combustion systems and other high-temperature operations. It is a high-quality sand with specific properties that make it suitable for use in boilers and other combustion units. Boiler sand is often composed of silica sand, which is known for its high heat resistance and thermal stability.

The primary purpose of using boiler sand is to aid in the fluidization process within the boiler system. It helps to improve the distribution of air and heat, contributing to efficient combustion and heat transfer. Additionally, boiler sand helps to control the temperature within the combustion chamber, ensuring optimal operating conditions and preventing overheating or damage to the boiler components. Boiler sand is also employed as a bed material in fluidized bed boilers, where it acts as a medium for the combustion of fuel and the transfer of heat to the boiler tubes. Its uniform particle size distribution and heat-resistant properties make it an ideal choice for maintaining stable and efficient combustion processes in industrial boilers.
