It may lead to caustic embrittlement.
High pressure boilers operate at pressures above 15 psi, while low pressure boilers operate at pressures below 15 psi. High pressure boilers typically require more maintenance and inspection due to the higher pressures involved, while low pressure boilers are generally simpler and less expensive to maintain. Additionally, high pressure boilers are typically used in industrial applications where higher steam temperatures are required, while low pressure boilers are commonly used for heating and residential purposes.
The boilers which produces steam of pressure 80 bar or more than 80 bar are called high pressure boilers.
Hot pressure
Absolutely. Typical practice is to operate boilers at less than design pressure to reduce stress on the boiler parts. The boilers last longer than design, often.
High-pressure boilers can generate more steam at a higher temperature, which increases energy efficiency and reduces fuel consumption. They are also more compact in size and require less space compared to low-pressure boilers. Additionally, high-pressure boilers can achieve faster steam production and respond quickly to changes in demand.
The three basic types of low pressure boilers are fire tube boilers, water tube boilers, and cast iron sectional boilers. Fire tube boilers heat water by circulating hot gases through tubes, water tube boilers circulate water through tubes that are heated externally, and cast iron sectional boilers have multiple sections that heat water as it flows through them.
Boilers heat water. They are not made to cool anything. To cool a house you need an Air Conditioning Unit.
Steam pressure does not exceed 103 Kpa (14.7 psi) in steam boilers, or as long as the temperature of the water does not exceed 121ºC (250ºF) or the pressure does not exceed 1103 kpa (160 psi) in hot water boilers 'Caesar Aborido BCIT'.
A low-pressure boiler works by generating steam at a pressure lower than 15 psi (pounds per square inch). Water is heated in the boiler and turns into steam, which is then used for various applications such as heating or powering machinery. Low-pressure boilers are commonly used in buildings for heating systems and hot water supply.
There are various companies whom make electric boilers. Precision Boilers, Electric Heating Company, and Thermaflow Heating are to name just a few of the companies in which one may find a company that makes electric boilers. It is possible for one to contact the local electric company to inquire if they are a qualified agency that makes electric boilers.
The highest pressure boiler that I ever saw as a marine Chief Engineer was 2400 psi or 80 atmospheres. The US Navy operated 1200 psi boilers for many years. High pressure steam generators in Nuclear plants are usually limited to 600 psi due to the lack of superheating. There are higher pressure boilers for specific applications but these are few and far between. Any boiler over 2400psi carries with it many safety concerns and is problematic to both build and maintain.
