Causing of fluctuations in working pressure of a boiler
What are the causes of fluctuations in working pressure of a boiler? (AP_BOE_2010_P_1) 1. **Fluctuation in load:** This is a common cause of boiler pressure fluctuations. When the demand for steam increases, the boiler pressure will drop as the boiler tries to generate more steam. Conversely, when the demand forRead More
Steam Trap
What is steam trap? (Central BOE-2021) A steam trap is a valve that automatically discharges condensate from steam systems while preventing the escape of live steam. This is important because condensate can interfere with the efficient operation of steam systems by reducing heat transfer and increasing corrosion. Steam traps areRead More
