Coal boilers remain a critical component in many industrial energy systems, particularly in regions where coal is an abundant and cost-effective fuel source. There are several coal boiler types, each designed to meet specific operational needs, fuel characteristics, and environmental requirements. The most common coal boiler types include chain grate boilers, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers and so on.
These various coal boiler types offer flexibility in fuel use, efficiency, and environmental performance, allowing enterprises to choose the most suitable option based on their specific needs and resource availability.
Industrial Applications of Coal Boiler Types
The diversity of coal boiler types enables their application across a wide range of industries. In the textile industry, coal boilers provide the necessary steam for dyeing, drying, and fabric processing. In the chemical industry, they are used to power reactors, distillation units, and other production equipment. The food and beverage industry also relies on coal boilers for cooking, sterilization, and drying processes.
In developing countries, where coal remains a primary energy source, coal boiler types are especially prevalent in sectors such as building materials, paper manufacturing, metallurgy, and agriculture. For example, in the cement and brick industries, coal boilers generate the high-temperature steam needed for curing and processing. In paper mills, they are used to produce steam for pulping and drying.
The adaptability of different coal boiler types to various coal grades and industrial needs makes them an indispensable part of energy infrastructure, particularly in areas where alternative fuels are less accessible or more expensive.

Case Study: Coal Boiler Application in the Pet Supplies Industry
The growing pet economy has driven the expansion of the pet supplies manufacturing industry, particularly in emerging markets like Cambodia. In such regions, coal remains a dominant fuel source due to its affordability and accessibility. Therefore, the flexibility and fuel adaptability of different coal boiler types became a critical consideration in equipment selection.
A recent project involved ZOZEN Boiler providing a 4-ton DZL series coal-fired steam boiler to a pet supplies enterprise in Cambodia. This boiler was selected for its high thermal efficiency and excellent adaptability to different coal grades. The DZL series boiler utilizes threaded smoke tubes to enhance heat transfer, allowing it to achieve a thermal efficiency of over 80%. This significantly reduced the company’s fuel costs.
Moreover, the boiler demonstrated strong adaptability to a range of coal types, including bituminous coal, lean coal, and anthracite. This feature is particularly beneficial in Cambodia, where coal quality can vary significantly. The ability to efficiently burn different coals ensures consistent performance and energy savings, even when fuel sources fluctuate.
This case highlights the practical advantages of ZOZEN’s coal boiler types, especially in fuel-flexible and cost-sensitive markets. The boiler’s automation features also contributed to reducing labor intensity and improving operational safety.
