What two factores affect the boiling point of water?
Pressure & Temperature :) Apex
How do you calculate the evaporation rate in a closed system - especially in a boiler?
There are many factors. First of all, there is the temperature of the water. Next, the is the volume of water. Next there is the amount of pressure gradually built up in the boiler. Next you have the amount and speed at which heat is transferred to the water.
What could affect the temperature at which water boils?
The pressure of the atmosphere around the water determines the temperature at which it boils. Also, the presence of dissolved particles in the water will raise the boiling temperature.Dissolved solids (salt, sugar or anything else in there, This will raise the temperature). Pressure lower pressure means less temperature needed to boild the warer. (altitue on earth will do this cause higher altitudes means lower pressureDissolved solids (salt, sugar or anything else in there, This will raise the temperature).

How does a back boiler work scientifically?
A boiler works by heating water in an enclosed space. The expansion of water molecules as it transforms from a liquid state into a gaseous one causes the boiler to generate a vast amount of pressure. This is generally the science behind a back boiler.
How do you raise the pressure system on the baseboard heater?
Add water to the boiler. You should have an automatic pressure reducing water make up valve, somewhere near the boiler. If it feeds directly into the boiler, make sure the boiler is cool when you add. Normal pressure on a cool boiler should be around 12 psi. The pressure will rise as the water is heated. You need a minimum of 1/2 psi for every foot of rise in the loop. So 12 psi in the basement will allow most systems to have a rise of appx 24 feet to the highest strip of baseboard. Remember, the pressure relief valve on the boiler lifts at 30 psi, so you need to stay well below that when the boiler is up to temperature.
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.
What 3 factors affect the density of sea water?
Temperature, pressure, and common ion effect
What is the feed check valve of boiler?
The feed check valve of a boiler is on the line coming out of the boiler it is usually to prevent the water from going back in to the boiler its coming out of so it would build up excessive amounts of pressure which will cause the t&p valve to blow temperature and pressure
Why is water dripping from the boiler pressure relief valve?
Water may be dripping from the boiler pressure relief valve due to high pressure in the boiler system, which causes the valve to release excess pressure by letting water out. This could be a sign of a malfunction in the boiler system that needs to be addressed to prevent further issues.
Why is to safety valve mounted on boiler drum?
the safety valve is mounted on the top of drum because, if the water level in boiler decreases a certain value, the temperature gets increased in water drum because of lack of water. So, increase in temperature result in high pressure in steam drum, as the safety valve is designed to withstand a certain pressure, after a cetain pressure, the safety valve is removed by high pressure of steam. this is why the safety valve is mounted on top of boiler drum. +++ Shall we sort out that lot? That answer is wrong. Its only link with water-level is that the valve has to be above the water anyway. If the boiler runs dry the safety-valve will not protect it. The safety-valve is there to prevent the steam pressure rising to a potentially a dangerous level. It is set to open at the boiler's designed working pressure.

Pressure & Temperature :) Apex
Why is my boiler leaking water from the relief valve?
Your boiler may be leaking water from the relief valve due to high pressure or temperature inside the system. This can be caused by issues such as a faulty pressure relief valve, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a buildup of sediment in the tank. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage to your boiler.
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
As depth increases, pressure also increases due to the weight of the water column above. Temperature affects pressure by influencing the density of a fluid; warm water is less dense and exerts less pressure than cold water at the same depth.
How can I adjust the water temperature on a boiler?
To adjust the water temperature on a boiler, locate the temperature control dial on the boiler unit. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease it. Be cautious not to set the temperature too high to avoid potential safety hazards.
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
What is max pressure in a low pressure hot water boiler?
160psi
What is the explanation for the working of a benson boiler?
Benson Boiler is a water tube high pressure boiler having forced circulation. It works on the principle that if the boiler pressure is raised to critical pressure (225 kg/cm^2) then there is no formation of steam bubbles Because the steam and water at this pressure will have the same Density. To achieve this water is fed to the boiler at critical pressure . At this pressure water will be directly converted to superheated steam as the latent heat at critical pressure is zero. Overall efficiency of plant is decreased as a lot of energy is consumed by feed water. Operating the boiler at a slightly lower pressure than the critical pressure efficiency can be increased. Thermal efficiency upto 90% can be achieved.
