How often do boiler spares need replacing?
Usually you should replace spare parts for your boiler every 3-5 years. Maintenance should be done every six months to see if anything needs replacing.
How do you get water in the boiler?
In the combo boiler for the central heating? You need a small piece of hose (or it might have a permanent connection) to fix to the mains from the boiler. Then turn the taps near the boiler for the mains and the boiler. You want the pressure to be about 1.3 bar
Why steam is to be condensed in thermal power plant Y should not you use a compressor to suck compress and send back the steam at high pressure?
It's a matter of the steam cycle, the condenser in a condensing power plant creates a vacuum, or low pressure zone for the steam to flow into. A compressor would need to compress this steam 650 times plus generate enough force to force it back into the boiler, this would require a lot of energy to do. It is much simpler and much more cost effective (energy wise), to condense the steam and exhaust the excess heat to the cooling tower. The condensed water can then be pumped back to the boiler in stages to repeat the cycle. In these stages the water is de-aerated, treated and heated back to the boiler's temperature to prevent thermal shock in the boiler. In short condensing the steam is easier, safer and cheaper than trying to mechanically compress it. **By the way, there are vacuum pumps called "hoggers" or steam powered ejectors, and injectors which could do just what you suggest, but use exorbitant amounts of energy to do so. These are typically used in conjunction with condensers to eject non-condensible gasses from condensers.

Can you bleed a combi boiler?
Yes you can bleed a combi boiler. You do just the same as with a conventional boiler. However, the pressure will drop in your system, so you simply need to adjust it using the little tap (usually below the boiler) to bring it back again (Usually aronud 1.5)
Need Better Deal on Steam Boiler?
This is the typical price for a new 9L steam boiler. To find a price lower than this you will either have to get lucky with a sale, or purchased used.

What HP boiler do you need to evaporate 4675 pounds of water?
hp Boiler = (4675 pound of water in an hour / 34.5 ) = (4675 pounds in an hour of steam at 212 oF / 34.5)
How do you calculate Specific fuel Consumption boiler?
if a gas boiler is capacity of 20 ton & steam pressure is 13 bar,how much fuel consume it??if other requirments need assume please.
Why isn't there a car with steam engine?
In the early days of Cars, there were several popular steam cars, such as the Stanley Steamer which could go at a fair speed. The problem is-You need a boiler to heat the water to make the steam. You need a fuel (coal, wood, oil) to heat the boiler. So you need a fuel tank a water tank and a furnace. Very inefficient, it would require a lot of space and weight to get everything in. And of course if you needed your car say first thing in the morning, you would have to have the furnace on all night, burning fuel as you simply cannot light the boiler at 9 am and take off. You need to wait a few hours to get steam up. A modern petrol or diesel engine is very efficient these days.. will start instantly.. and is fairly economical. There is also the safety aspect of a steam car, with a boiler under high pressure.. in the early days several boilers exploded scalding everybody around.. so you see why steam cars are not an option. +++ A couple of points there need clarifying. The steam-car such as the Stanley ran on paraffin (kerosene) not solid fuels; in a specially-designed, very efficient boiler; and it did not need hours to raise steam even from cold. I am not sure what the Stanley's typical steam-raising time is, but it is certainly not all night! However, it is true that the "instant" availability of the internal-combustion engine made it displace the steam-car. Boiler explosions for the most part were due to neglect of corrosion, or corrosion not seen; but modern boilers and their inspection routines ensure they are very safe.
What is entrainment in the boiler?
There are basically two types of boilers one is the conventional boilers with a drum or shell in which water (obviously well treated water) is heated and as it is heated it produce stem. The steam occupy the top space and the bottom part is filled with water hot and pressurised. When the process requirements whether it is for steam turbine or for chemical process we need dry steam. If the water level is too high and or if the boiling velocity is too high the water droplets instead of leaving the boiler drum as steam some water droplets leave with the steam. This is no good for the process as we need steam but we are getting water. This water entering the system is called entrainment. If the boiler is highly rated i.e. we are heating too much and heating very hard then the top of the water face on the drum through which the steam leaves takes water drops as well. This is called entrainment. Regards Stephen Pathmarajah
What need to be done to a fuel to release the energy stored in it?
The process of combustion combines fuel with oxygen, to produce carbon dioxide and heat. If the fuel is burned in a boiler to produce steam, this heat energy is converted to pressure energy in the steam. The pressure energy is converted to rotating kinetic energy as the steam spins a turbine. Finally the rotating kinetic energy is converted to electric energy in the generator.
What heating boiler system does empire state building has?
The Empire State building gets it steam from the ConEdison steam company that serves much of New York City. The steam is piped all accross the city to buildings that either don't have room or are much to big for their own boilers. If the Empire State building had its own boiler, there would need to be a huge smokestack at the top!
What is use of stay tube in Cochran boiler?
The stay tubes basically hold the boiler together, they are thicker than the ordinary tubes and generally dont need to be replaced as often.
Does all boilers need to be serviced yearly?
Boilers should have routine annual inspections. Your technician will tell you if you need any type of servicing done to your boiler.

How do you make your own steam engine?
I would recommend against this as steam explosions are very destructive and a steam scald from a pipe leak can easily be fatal.However, if you insist you will first need access to a machine shop to fabricate the parts... the trickiest to make correctly and safely are the boiler and the cylinders.Don't forget properly set and maintained safety valves!
