PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Manual Feeding with a Movable-Grate Combustion Route.
The DZH boiler combines a longitudinal single drum, water-cooled furnace walls, convection tube banks and threaded smoke tubes. Fuel is introduced manually and burns on a movable grate with configured forced and induced draft.
This page presents the verified DZH3-1.25-SCI configuration: 3.0 t/h saturated steam at 1.25 MPa. Other capacities or fuels require a separate engineering confirmation.
DZH3-1.25-SCI
Verified 3 t/h configuration with 1.25 MPa rated steam pressure.
Manual Fuel Feeding
Suitable where trained operators can maintain the required fuel and ash-handling routine.
Movable Grate
The grate and independent air chamber support combustion and controlled air distribution.
Water-Fire Tube Body
Radiant and convection heating surfaces transfer heat to the boiler water and steam circuit.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Fuel Burns on the Movable Grate; Heat Passes Through Radiant and Convection Surfaces.
Prepared biomass fuel is fed into the furnace by the operator and distributed across the movable grate. Combustion air is supplied through the configured air chamber while the induced draft fan maintains the flue-gas route.
Hot gas transfers heat through the furnace water walls, side convection tube banks and threaded smoke tubes. The flue gas then passes through the economizer and selected dust collection equipment before discharge through the chimney.

Fuel consumption: The listed range is tied to the verified design fuel and operating condition. Recalculate against the customer’s actual lower heating value, moisture, ash and required steam output.
Transport and installation: Confirm the final shipment split, lifting points, access route and boiler-room layout from the approved general-arrangement drawing.
FUEL REVIEW
Approve the Real Biomass Before Finalizing the Furnace and Air System.
The verified configuration uses formed biomass fuel. Alternative fuels are reviewed individually because size, moisture, ash, volatiles, chlorine and bulk density affect feeding, combustion, fouling, emissions and output.

- 06Operator Routine
Plan feeding, grate management and ash removal for each shift.
BOILER & FLUE-GAS ROUTE
Coordinate Combustion, Heat Recovery and Draft Equipment.
Stable steam output depends on fuel quality, operator practice, furnace air, induced draft, feedwater condition and the complete flue-gas route.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DZH Biomass Steam Boiler FAQ.
What is the verified DZH capacity on this page?
The verified configuration is DZH3-1.25-SCI, rated at 3.0 t/h saturated steam and 1.25 MPa.
Is the DZH boiler manually fed?
Yes. The DZH route uses manual fuel feeding with movable-grate combustion and requires regular operator involvement.
Is the DZH grate fixed?
No. The verified DZH configuration uses a movable grate. Fuel feeding is manual, but the combustion equipment should not be described as a fixed grate.
Which biomass fuel can be used?
The verified design fuel is formed biomass at a lower heating value of 14,792 kJ/kg. Other fuels must be reviewed for size, moisture, ash, chlorine and heating value.
What is the listed biomass consumption?
The listed range is 380-531.65 kg/h for the verified minimum and maximum operating conditions. Actual consumption follows the real fuel and steam load.
How is DZH different from DZL?
DZH uses manual fuel feeding with a movable grate. DZL uses a mechanically fed chain-grate route and is generally preferred when more continuous feeding and lower manual involvement are required.
