The principal functions of blow off cock are: To empty the boiler for maintenance or other purposes; To discharge the scale, mud or sediments from the bottom of the boiler; Fusible Plug: Fire tube boiler vs Water tube boiler.
Read MoreWorking Principle. Both gas and oil fired boilers use controlled combustion of the fuel to heat water. The key boiler components involved in this process are the burner, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and controls. The burner mixes the fuel and oxygen together and, with the assistance of an ignition device, provides a platform for combustion.

Read MoreIf maintenance has been done on the water side of a watertube boiler all tools which were taken into the boiler should be checked off as removed, to ensure that nothing has fallen into a water tube. Check that the burners are clean and ready for firing. Check soot blower alignment and clearance of movement.
Read More4. BOILER PROBLEMS. 5. Sludge and Scale Formation In Boilers In a boiler, water is continuously evaporated to form steam .This increases the concentration of dissolved salts Finally a stage is reached when the ionic product of these salts exceeds their solubility product and hence they are thrown out as precipitates.
Read MoreMar 02, 2021 · #2 Water Tube Boiler. In water tube boilers, the water flows inside the tubes (called water tubes) that are surrounded by flames and hot gases from outside. Ex: Babcock and Wilcox boiler, La-Mount boiler, Benson boiler and Loeffler boiler. Advantage and disadvantage of water tube boiler over fire tube boilers: Advantage: Steam can be raised
Read MoreJan 31, 2022 · A waste heat boiler of the water-tube design is able to cope with much higher pressures of steam than a fire-tube boiler, but it is more difficult to construct and install. Inside this type of boiler, there are narrower tubes than inside a fire-tube boiler, and the tubes contain water instead of hot gases.
