As a boiler generates steam any impurities which are in the boiler feedwater and which do not boil off with the steam will concentrate in the boiler water As the dissolved solids become more and more concentrated the steam bubbles tend to become more stable failing to burst as they reach the water surface of the boiler

The boiler is firing and making steam pressure The pressure is rising and the boiler is in low fire due to low load The operator control will shut down the boiler to prevent too much steam pressure from building up However the operator control is not the same as the boiler steam pressure setpoint These are commonly confused

· For proper combustion of fuel inside the boiler a certain amount of oxygen is required If too little air is present the carbon in the fuel will be oxidized making carbon monoxide This causes less heat to release because the fuel isnt completely burned which lowers fuel use efficiency

The strength of steel drops sharply at temperatures above 800°F (480°C) Hence a Low-water condition has the potential to melt the steel tubes Controlling the boiler drum level is complicated as the "water level" in a steam drum is actually a fairly unstable mixture of water and steam bubbles that shrinks and swells as the pressure changes This is because of the fact that as the steam demand increases the

· When the load lessens the pressure rises in the boiler and the boiling is suppressed so the level drops like a rock If your water level controls are not sophisticated they will see the level increase due to swell as high level and will stop feeding the boiler when in actuality the boiler needs water to make up for the steam leaving and when the swing stops then the level falls for two reasons one due to the
