How a hot water boiler works?
It heats water to a desired temperature
What will be the effect of lower water level in boiler?
Effect of low water level in the boiler is rapid increase the temperature of the metal tubes, causing a collapse or rupture.
Why was water running in boiler when thermostat off?
The thermostat controls only the temperature of the water.
Can termosat on boiler fail?
Of course it can fail. Look at the temperature of the water in the boiler, turn the stat up and down. You should hear a slight click when the temperature setting and the boiler water temp are appx the same if you do, the stat is probably good. You can verify this with a voltmeter.
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated steam?
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
What will the effect of the lower water level in the boiler?
Effect of low water level in the boiler is rapid increase the temperature of the metal tubes, causing a collapse or rupture.
What can happen if you had a sudden drop on boiler steam pressure without a corresponding drop in boiler water temperature?
BOILER EXPLOSION- Caused by a sudden drop in pressure (failure on the steam side) without acorresponding drop in temperature.
Why is the boiler underneath the hot water storage tank?
So the steam can rise from the boiler to the hot water tank storage
How do you measure temperature of boiler in sugar factory?
measurement of temperature of boiler in suger factory
Is it possible to change the temperature of a water boiler the safe setting is 120 degrees and I want to know if a water boiler can be changed to that setting?
Boiler should be set at max temperature of 180 degrees for proper heating temperature. 120 degrees is temperature for domestic hot water, not heating temperature. Yes, to answer question, but not recommended.Improved answer. -If you are referring to the hot water heater that gives water to your hot faucets this is not generally known as a 'boiler' (a boiler is for hydronic heating) Your faucet supply can be turned down to any setting between 110 and 160. Normal setting is 130-135. with small children it should be 120. - on most heaters there is an adjustment knob on the gas regulator or the lower electric element . It's well marked and easy to adjust.
Why economiser is used in boiler?
An economizer is used to heat boiler feedwater up closer to the temperature of the boiler water, using heat from the boiler exhaust gases, heat that would otherwise be wasted. The main reason is to improve the efficiency of the boiler. For every 44 degree F drop in exhaust gas temp. there is an 11 F rise in feedwater temperature and a 1% gain in boiler efficiency.
What is economizer in boiler?
Economizer is an accessory of boiler that recovers the waste heat from the flue gas blown out of the boiler. Thus it actually "economizes" the operational cost or in other words, improves the efficiency of fuel utilisation in the boiler. The temperature of the flue gases ( the mixture of burnt fuel & air ) depends up on the steam pressure ( temperature more precisely ). Higher the steam pressure generated, the higher is the flue gas temperature. Economizer is a heat exchanger which exchanges heat between water ( which is fed in to the boiler ) & the flue gas. It means it increases the temperature of the feed water using the otherwise wasted heat of the flue gas. So the water entering the boiler has higher temperature compared to the one without this economizer. This higher temperature of water requires less amount of heat to generate steam so the operation becomes "economical". Similarly the economizer can also work to heat up the air entering the boiler through the flue gas heat, instead of heating the water.
