Boiler Maintenance: A Complete Guide for You

All you need to know about Boiler Maintenance.

People generally have queries about Boiler maintenance: How to know if the boiler is at maximum efficiency? If not, how to increase it? What roles does Boiler feedwater quality play? Why is regular Boiler maintenance service important? And so on.

Before diving into Boiler maintenance, let’s understand the term Boiler Efficiency. The basic mechanism of a Boiler is that it takes in cold water and boils it to create steam using heat energy.

In the best possible condition, the flue gas (the exhaust gas) will be negligible at the lowest temperature possible. 

Here are some key steps for enhancing the Efficiency of your Boiler and cutting down on expenses: 

  • Clean the fireside
  • Insulating your valves.
  • Tune the burner regularly
  • Preheat the combustion air
  • Install an economiser 
  • Lower Boiling flow temperature
  • System filter etc.

How does Boiler feedwater quality impact the operation of your boiler?

In many cases, it is observed that lack of efficiency or leak in boilers is rooted in gasses or impurities of low-quality Boiler feedwater. 

Pure water is perfect for energy transfer because of its easily attainable Boiling point and generation of steam. However, its generation is a little expensive. 

You’ll likely come across dissociated solids and condensed gasses in Municipal water.

Improper water treatment can adversely impact your Boiler efficiency in many ways: 

  • Poor-quality water contains Minerals like calcium and others that can gather around water pipes, economizers, and boilers as scale deposits. In turn, slowing down the steam passage might create a complete blockage. 
  • The scale deposit is the most significant contributor to reducing Boiler efficiency.
  • Scale deposits also act as a root cause of the breaking down Water and safety probes.
  • Another boiler challenge with water chemistry is that illegitimate water chemistry inside the water tank will lead to pinhole leaks inside the tank or in other parts.
  • When water heats, some solids foam from the steam. When these solids rise to the surface, some slide into the turbines or superheaters.

Reducing the efficiency, eventually, these solids create their way through the Boiler causing greater damage.

Some steps for the prevention of such issues are mentioned below: 

  • Boiler Probes: measuring the boiler water, tank level, pH, etc. 
  • Monitoring boiler water usage by contacting Headwater meters.
  • Using corrosion coupon racks, measure the corrosion rate without opening it.
Some equipment used for Boiler chemical control include: 
  1. Chemical pumps
  2. Chemical mix tanks
  3. Bleed valves and solenoids
  4. Automation controller

Boiler Maintenance will help you avert such problems and cut down on expenses in the longer run.
