Three boiler sections, economizer, superheater, and reheater, are tightly bundled tube assemblies inherent to the process by maintaining high temperature feedwater and steam that drives the steam turbine and generator.
Read MoreBut it seems to me that using hot water to replenish a steam boiler would actually be safer than cold, because the hot water heater would precipitate lots of the solids, the calcium deposits, and drive off some of the oxygen in the heater tank (causing more rapid wear in the water heater), than if you put cold water into the boiler, where that
Read MoreMar 07, 2009 · The corrosion products will in turn be returned to the feedwater and can result in iron deposits in the feedwater tank as well as the boiler. (3.) If the condensate return tanks are vented to the atmosphere, and don't have vacuum breakers, the cooling and pumping of the condensate can result in the addition of atmospheric oxygen into the
Read MoreDeposits also promote the transport of oxygen to the metal surface. Corrosion in the boiler proper generally occurs when the boiler water alkalinity is low or when the metal is exposed to oxygen bearing water either during operation or idle periods. High temperatures and stresses in the boiler metal tend to accelerate the corrosive mechanisms.
