How do you prevent boiler explosion?

All boilers are made to a pressure specification and in most countries any pressure vessel over a certain size is required to be periodically inspected and pressure tested to ensure it is fit for purpose. In addition to being in sound condition, the boiler is also expected to have some form of pressure relief valve. This is of sufficient size to vent off excess pressure before it gets to an explosive situation. It is obviously important that the pressure of this device is set to a lower level than the ultimate pressure specification of the boiler. Even quite small boilers, like those in coffee makers need to be inspected. Some boilers are 'gas fired' such as home heating boilers. These have a device called a thermocouple that detects the flame and is linked to the gas valve. If the flame goes out, or the burner does not ignite when gas is released in the boiler, it will shut the gas off. Typically gas fired boilers have a number of devices that will shut off the gas in the event that something doesn't work. This means that if the gas supply pipe is in sound condition, the boiler itself cannot leak gas and cause an explosion.


What is the need of Purging in boiler?

purging is a cleaning process which cleans explosive items in air,flue gas path if any.


How many coil of aph in boiler?

two types of air pre heaters used in thermal power plants . One is a tubular type built into the boiler flue gas ducting, and the other is a regenerative air preheater.These may be arranged so the gas flows horizontally or vertically across the axis of rotation.

You need a orifice cleaning to remove carbon build up on the flame tube and main burners.


Why is a blue flame noisier than the yellow flame?

A blue flame is louder than a yellow flame because there is more oxygen (air) flow present than with a yellow flame. The yellow flame indicates a lack of oxygen and incomplete combustion of the methane gas.


Is the yellow flame on a Bunsen burner the unburnt gas?

No. The yellow flame is actually due to incomplete combustion because of a lack of oxygen gas (air intake) and as a result carbon particles (soot) get ignited causing the yellow flame.

What is the difference between a yellow gas flame and a orange gas flame?

Well like with any flame, the lighter the flame, the higher the temperature of the flame. If the flam is burning Yellow, it is at a higher temperature and is burning more oxygen than an orange flame is. That is your difference other than the color.


When pilot light goes out on a boiler is gas escaping?

No. The pilot valve is closed when no flame is sensed by the thermocouple.
