Soot blowing procedure
Describe soot blowing procedure (AP_ BOE_2010_P_1) Soot blowing is a crucial process in maintaining the efficiency and lifespan of boilers. It involves using high-pressure steam or air to remove soot and ash deposits from the boiler’s heat transfer surfaces. These deposits can impede heat transfer, leading to reduced boiler efficiencyRead More
Phosphate Dosing
Why phosphate dosing required in boiler ? (Central BOE-2021) Phosphate dosing is required in boilers for two main reasons: to prevent scaling and corrosion, and to maintain proper pH levels. **Scale prevention** Scale is a hard deposit that can form on the inside of boiler tubes and other components. ItRead 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
Soot deposit on flue gas path in a boiler
What is the effect of soot deposit in the flue gas path in a boiler? (Central BOE-2021) The deposition of soot in the flue gas path of a boiler can have several negative effects on the boiler’s performance and operation: 1. Reduced Heat Transfer Efficiency: Soot is a poor conductorRead More
What are the precautions to be taken during dry preservation of boiler?
Dry preservation of a boiler involves storing a boiler in a dry state to prevent corrosion and deterioration during periods of inactivity. Here are some precautions to take:1. Clean the Boiler: Thoroughly clean the interior surfaces of the boiler to remove any scale, debris, or contaminants that could accelerate corrosion.2.Read More
