Explain the other types of tube failure that may occur during long term operation of the boilers.
During long-term operation of boilers, tube failures become more complex and can arise from prolonged exposure to thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses. These failures often develop gradually and can be due to issues like material degradation, operational inefficiencies, or water chemistry problems. Below are the common types of tube failuresRead More
Explain the types of tube failure that may occur innthe initial stage of boiler operation till stabilization?
During the initial stage of boiler operation, until the system reaches a stable operational phase, several types of tube failures can occur. These failures are often related to start-up conditions, improper handling, design flaws, or material weaknesses. The initial period of boiler operation is critical, as it involves high thermalRead 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
Boiler Drum Level Control in Subcritical Boilers: Ensuring Safe and Efficient Operation
In subcritical boilers, the drum level control plays a crucial role in maintaining the desired water level inside the boiler drum. Here are the key aspects of boiler drum level control in subcritical boilers: 1. Level Measurement: 2. Control Strategies: a. Single Element Control: b. Two Element Control:Read More
