Function - It adds the pressure to the feed water before it entyers into boiler feed pump suction

Advantage - Ensures high margin NPSH A for boiler feed pump spinning at high rpm (5250Rpm)

Drive for booster - Normally @1450 rpm

Type of impeller- Mostly preferred Double suction

In boiler feed water line whether a non return valve should precede or succeed the delivery valve of feed water pump?

In boiler feed water line the NRV is normally installed between Pump and stop valve if the line is short and an another NRV is installed at boiler entrance and after stop valve if the line is long or pump is 10 to 15 m away from the boiler.


What is boiler feed water?

Boiler feed is the fresh or treated water to replenish the water loss though evaporation or leak


Why is it important to maintain a gas-free condition in the boiler feed water?

Maintaining a gas-free condition in boiler feed water is crucial to prevent corrosion and scaling within the boiler system, which can lead to decreased efficiency and increased maintenance costs. Dissolved gases, especially oxygen and carbon dioxide, can cause pitting and other forms of corrosion in metal components. Additionally, gas bubbles can impair heat transfer, reducing the overall performance of the boiler. Ensuring the feed water is free of gases helps extend the lifespan of the boiler and improve operational reliability.


Why you use boiler in oil refinery?

Use of water in a refinery is makeup for boiler feed. The chief uses of steam are for stripping, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. The steam comes in contact with the products in these operations, and generally the steam condensate is so highly contaminated that it cannot be reused for boiler feed or for other purposes. Steam is also used for process heating, for pumping, and, in some refineries, for generating electric power


Why is the boiler water circulating pump required for EGB?

I think because it works more like a heat exchanger taking heat from the exhaust gas, rather than a "standard" boiler with a furnace?An EGB needs a pump to circulate the water through the pipes in the exhaust stack, whereas a furnace-heated boiler can use convection to move the fluid through the system..?Might have something to do with lower temperatures in an EGB?

What is the use of boilerfeed pump?

The boiler feed pump pumps hot feedwater into the boiler. The boiler pressure is to high for water to flow into it by gravity, so a pump is required.


What is boiler feed water pump?

Boiler feed pumps are an important part of any boiler operation. They control the amount of water fed to the boiler and the manner in which it is fed.

Why is used the balancing line in boiler feed pump and its direction of flow?

In boiler feed pumps usually the discharge pressure is 20 to 30 times tie suction Pressure so to protect the pump balancing line is given from discharge to suction.
