If the impurities in the boiler feedwater are not dealt with properly, carryover of boiler water into the steam system can occur. This may lead to problems elsewhere in the steam system, such as:
The quality of boiler feedwater is an important determinant of safe boiler operations and it should be monitored to maintain the quality within safe working limits. Boiler feedwater is treated to protect the boiler from two basic problems: the buildup of solid deposits on the interior or water side of the tubes, and corrosion.
If the hot oil pump of the fully automatic thermal oil heater is suddenly damaged and stops working during the operation, the boiler circulation will be blocked. If the fuel is still burning to make the oil temperature keep rising, it will cause the coking of the hot medium oil which is easy to cause a fire. If the fully automatic thermal oil heater catches fire due to the power cut during the operation, the boiler operator should quickly put out the fire in the furnace to stop the fuel from burning, and blow a large amount of cold air into the furnace to lower the temperature.
In the operation of gas-fired steam/hot water boiler, it need continuous water supply to ensure the water volume in the drum. Once water shortage occurs, it will cause the boiler dry burning problem, which will further result in the boiler failure and other problems.
