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.

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.


How many amps for a house boiler?

The amp requirement for a house boiler can vary depending on the size and type of the boiler. Typically, a house boiler may require anywhere from 15 to 30 amps to operate efficiently. It is important to consult the boiler's specifications and an electrician to determine the precise amp requirement for your specific setup.


What is an average price for a new natural gas boiler?

The price of a natural gas boiler will depend on a few factors. For example, the company that is selling the boiler, the quality of the boiler and where one is located. Prices may vary depending on location and availability.


Does boiler pressure affect water temperature?

Boiler pressure does not directly affect water temperature. Water temperature is primarily controlled by the thermostat setting on the boiler. However, excessive boiler pressure can lead to other issues such as leaks and inefficiency in heating the water.

What is entrainment flooding?

Entrainment flooding is a type of flooding that occurs when water is rapidly entrained or mixed with sediment and debris, creating a fast-moving and turbulent flow that can be highly destructive. This type of flooding can dislodge large boulders, trees, and other debris, causing extensive damage to structures and infrastructure in its path. Entrainment flooding is particularly dangerous because of the unpredictability and force of the flow.
