Why must demineralized water be used in hot water boilers?

09 Dec 2022

Tap water or water with a lot of impurities will cause the magnesium ions and calcium ions in the water to form some white precipitates when heated at high temperature, causing scaling problems and reducing the heat transfer efficiency of the boiler. Boiler operation safety brings hidden dangers, even shutdown.

 

The specific reason why softened water must be used in hot-water boilers is that it will not produce scale in the process of use, so that potential safety hazards of boilers can be avoided, and further, dangers or accidents can be avoided. Therefore, generally in hot water boilers, there will be softened water equipment. If not, scale inhibitor is added to the boiler to achieve the above purpose.

 

When the boiler is designed, ZOZEN will answer why softened water must be used in the hot water boiler and design a reasonable water treatment configuration to ensure the long-term stable operation of the hot water boiler.
