When water in a boiler is heated up, it turns into steam. The steam then expands and builds pressure, which can be used to generate power or heat. The boiler is designed to contain and control this process to power various applications such as heating systems or turbines.

What will happen in the temperature of water when heated?

If You're suggesting what happens to water when heated then the answer is: Water molecules speed up by the heat increasing it's temperature and when it reaches 100 Degrees the molecules are so fast that the water turn into a gas (Steam) But if you are just asking about the temperature then; When you heat water the temperature also increases.


What happens when you boil heavy water?

Boiling heavy water is similar to boiling regular water, but heavy water has a slightly higher boiling point. It will eventually turn into steam as it reaches its boiling point of 101.4 degrees Celsius.


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 happens when ice is heated from-1 degrees to 101degrees?

When ice is heated from -1 degrees to 0 degrees, it melts into water. As the temperature continues to rise from 0 degrees to 100 degrees, the water heats up and eventually boils at 100 degrees, turning into water vapor. At 101 degrees, the water vapor will continue to increase in temperature.

What is an example of Heat Conductity?

The water in a home heated with forced hot water. The water is heated in the boiler and then the water is pumped through the radiators in the home. In the radiators, the water is hotter than the air in the room, and the water gives up heat. The heat brings the air temperature of the home up to the desired level. The water conducts the heat from the boiler to the room, and then returns to the boiler to pick up more heat.AnswerThe original answer describes 'convection', rather than 'conduction'. An example of conduction is a Poker left in a fireplace. Heat transfer occurs from the higher temperature end of the poker to the cooler end by conduction.


How were public bathhouses heated?

If you are referring to the Roman bathhouses, there was a furnace under the hot room which heated water in a boiler and released hot air into the hypocaust, the system of underfloor heating, where it passed through a hollow space under the floor. The hot water went to the pool of the hot room through a pipe. A boiler for warm water to produce warm stream for the tepid room was placed quite close to the furnace and higher up, so that it used that heat to warm up its water.

What happens to particles when water is heated?

when water is heated the particles speed up, therefore gaining kinetic energy. the faster the particles move the further apart they become, therefore leading to the possibility of changing state. such as water to water vapor or ice to water.


Why does your boiler fire up when you run the cold water?

The boiler fires up when you run cold water because it is responding to a drop in water pressure caused by the increased demand for water. The boiler is designed to maintain a consistent water pressure in the system, so it automatically fires up to heat more water and maintain the desired pressure.


What happens to boiler water level when boiler is fired will it fall or rise?

Water does not expand with heat the way hydrocarbons do. Thus, from an expansion perspective, the water level will not change as the temperature increases. *To correct the answer listed above without deleting it, as I'm new here :) : Water is one of the few elements that expands in its liquid and solid states. The overall expansion is approximately 4%. There are two basic types of boilers used for hydronic heating, water and steam. The level of water in a steam boiler will drop when fired; as the liquid water becomes a gas, less liquid remains in the boiler. Any water boiler used for heating will be constantly "full" as it is essentially a sealed system. Due to the expansion of the water when heated, all liquid water heating systems use expansion tanks to account for this change in volume. correcting the answers listed above without deleting them Initially when a boiler is fired the water is heated and the steam starts to generate. During this time large amount of ebolution is taking place as the steam is trying to rise up through the water. This causes a swell in the water level and we actually sea a rise in the water level. when fired always waterlevel surges,it is seen practically
