How many pounds of pressure does low pressure boiler operate on?
A low pressure boiler is any boiler 15 psi or lower
What is the calculation of sodium and phosphate ratio for high pressure boiler?
3:1
What carbon monoxied?
it is a poisonous gas that sometimes is leaked out of a boiler
Why do you inject phosphate in boiler feed water?
To control the alkalinity of boiler water which is directly related to pH control. Too alkaline will cause stainless steel to brittle while too low alkalinity will cause corrossion.
Volcanic eruption types is the most violent?
Pelean
What is Maximum Allowable Working Pressure Calculations?
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code details all the various calculations necessary to determine the MAWP of any pressure vessel.
How is boiler spring loaded safety valve works?
when the pressure increases over the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel, the valve will open to protect against overpressure.
How the back pressure in a boiler calculated?
This question can't be answered. It is unclear what you mean by back pressure. Maximum Allowable Working Pressure in a boiler is calculated using the rules for construction of high pressure boilers and construction of heating boilers in the ASME Code sections 1 and 8.
Boiler steam pressure?
What you meant by this question is uncertain. If you are asking about the definition then Boiler steam pressure is the pressure developed by a water steam boiler, else if you are asking about the Rated boiler steam pressure then it is the safe operating pressure a boiler can operate, else if you are asking about Maximum boiler steam pressure then it is the maximum pressure that a boiler can produce with out failure.
What is Maximum Allowable Working Pressure definition?
The Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) is used to rate components, steam drums, piping, tubes, boilers and any other pressure vessel in a hydraulic system. The reason this is so important can be seen easily in steam systems. The temperature that a fluid boils increases as pressure increases and decreases if pressure decreases. What this means is if you are running a boiler at 200 psi the water will boil around 387 degrees F. If it is creating steam this is the minimum temperature. If the boiler cracks and the pressure drops to atmospheric pressure, water would boil at 212 degrees F. This creates superheating or heating passed the boiling point. This will create Flash steam and cause an explosion. The MAWP rating is to decrease the chances of this happening.
Why pitting is dangerous?
In a boiler, pitting is dangerous because it weakens the boiler plate by reducing its thickness and strength. A pit that reduces the boiler plate thickness (at its weakest point) to 1/4 of the original thickness will fail at its Maximum Allowable Working Pressure. The weakest point is typically at the longitudinal joint (welded or riveted boilers) and pitting, grooving and cracking at this joint is closely monitored in all boilers.
What is the working principle and construction of lamont boiler?
lamont boiler is high pressure boiler & it'swork on high pressure at constant temprature
What is the max pressure and capacity in fire tube boiler?
the maximum pressure and the capacity in the fire tube boiler are usually depends on the model design and specified by the manufacturers in the manufacturer manual.
How boiler feed valve works?
There are automatic boiler feeder and manual feeds and depending on the desired working pressure required that would determine the "SET" pressure of the feeder
What is the range of a safety valve settings for a boiler operation at 1000 psi?
There is no range on a safety valve. It lifts and relieves at whatever it`s setpoint is. As for the setpoint, it would be just above the maximum working pressure/temperature of the water side of the boiler as stated on the National Board Tag of the vessel.
What is the Use of Balancing line in Boiler feed pump?
Boiler feed pump's suction pressure be aprox. 15Kg/cm2 and discharge pressure be 180Kg/cm2. So the balancing line balance the pressure and protect the boiler feed pump. my quastion is that what is the working principal of balancing leak off
How many pounds of pressure does low pressure boiler operate on?
A low pressure boiler is any boiler 15 psi or lower
