Residue that coats the tubes of a boiler will interfere with heat transfer and elevate the flue gas temperature. If incomplete combustion occurs, the resulting soot accumulates on the combustion side of the tubes. Similarly, poor water treatment practices can result in scale accumulation on the water side of the tubes.

1. Case No. 1: A high-pressure steam boiler, water-tube style. The boiler is a D type configuration, rated at 300 PSIG maximum allowable working pressure. Application: Providing process steam at 185 PSIG. You have a modulating firing rate on your boiler and it is operating at 75 percent capacity. There are three water level indicators, a drum level

The Basics of Boiler Tune-Up and Maintenance Boilers are major energy users in many facilities. The combustion efficiency of a boiler will degrade over time necessitating a tune-up to restore efficiency of the unit. " Boilers can be either steam or hot water; tune-up procedures apply to both types." A complete boiler Tune-Up measures the

Boiler Shut-Down Procedure. During the years we have spent in the Water Treatment business, it has become apparent that many cases of "apparently" dirty boiler come from poor shutdown techniques - not inadequate treatment.. During normal operations, the boiler water chemistry is carefully controlled so that the dissolved/suspended material is conditioned to prevent hard deposits on boiler metal.

Scaling may also cause valve and pump failures on the potable water loop. You can avoid scaling by using water softeners or by circulating a mild acidic solution (such as vinegar) through the collector or domestic hot water loop every 3-5 years, or as necessary depending on water conditions.

Follow the boiler manufacture s cool down procedure and be sure to rinse out the boiler as soon as the boiler is cool to avoid dried and baked on sludge deposits later on. If the cooled boiler is to be left filled with water for an extended period of time, take the proper wet lay-up precautions to protect the boiler from corrosion.

The ease of cleaning and maintenance of condensing boilers varies based on the type of technology and material design. Stainless steel condensing boilers feature either a water tube or fire tube heat exchanger. The water tube stainless steel heat exchanger consists of water inside a spiral tube with the flue gases on the outside.

During normal operation of the boiler some work and check procedures have to be considered every day. Check the boiler steam pressure and the water level. Check that the feed water control system is operational. Check the boiler water condition and make necessary countermeasures with regard to the feed and boiler water treatment.

The firetube boiler design (see Figures 1-1 & 1-2) uses tubes to direct the hot gases from the combustion process through the boiler to a safe point of discharge. The tubes are submerged in the boiler water and transfer the heat from the hot gases into the water. inside a firetube boiler the hot gases travel down the furnace

The boiler is drained only after the water temperature drops below 200°F. To insure that the safety valves are maintained in good working order they can be hand lifted or popped at periodic intervals. It is recommended that the valves be lifted just prior to a planned boiler shutdown, as a check to determine whether repair work is necessary.
