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.

What are the consequences of low alkalinity in boiler water?

Low alkalinity in boiler water can lead to increased corrosion of metal surfaces, as alkalinity helps to maintain a stable pH level. This can result in damage to the boiler components and decreased efficiency of the system. Additionally, low alkalinity can also lead to foaming and carryover in the boiler, which can cause operational issues and reduce the overall effectiveness of the boiler.


Why you need boiler preservation?

Boiler preservation is necessary to prevent corrosion and rust formation when the boiler is not in operation for an extended period. It helps protect the internal surfaces of the boiler from damage and ensures that it can be safely and efficiently restarted when needed. Proper preservation also helps extend the lifespan of the boiler.


If oil is mixed with boiler feed water?

If oil is mixed with boiler feed water, it can cause scaling and fouling in the boiler system, leading to reduced efficiency and potentially damaging the boiler components. It is important to prevent oil contamination of boiler feed water through proper filtration and maintenance of equipment to ensure the smooth operation of the boiler system.


What is the thermodynamic process carried out in steam boiler?

The water tube boiler forces water through tubes and heats these tubes from the outside. This is done in a combustion boiler, or in the steam generator of a pressurized water nuclear reactor. It could even be done in a thermal vent in a geologically active area. The heat penetrates the tubes and increases the thermal energy of the water in the tubes and turns it to steam. The steam is sent to do work, as in a turbine. The steam loses thermal energy as it passes through the turbine, and it eventually exits the turbine as low energy steam. It is then dumped into a condenser. Here the "last little bit" of the steam's energy is removed by the cooling water passing through tubes in the condenser, and the steam is turned back into water. The water is them pumped back through the water tubes in the boiler or steam generator to repeat the cycle. The


Who was the first person to explain the tides scientifically?

Sir Isaac Newton was the first person to explain tides scientifically, proposing that the gravitational pull of the moon caused the tides in the Earth's oceans. His work on gravity and motion paved the way for his understanding of tidal forces.

Can you incorporate a solid fuel back boiler into a pressure water system it would be nice not to have to use so much oil and take advatage of our wood burning stove?

Yes, If it is a pressurized system, the water from the back boiler and your oil or gas fired boiler can be mixed. This can also be achieved by using a water to water plate exchanger to preheat the return water from your heating devices. If you have a forced air heating system in the house, a coil can be placed in the main trunk line of the duct work and heated by circulated water from the back boiler.
