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.


How do you control steam temperature in a boiler other then spray in supreheater and reheater?

Pressure /temperature relationship The greater the pressure normally the higher the temperature


What is safe working pressure on a boiler?

Safe working pressure on a boiler is the maximum pressure at which the boiler can operate safely without risking failure or accidents. This pressure is determined by the design and construction of the boiler, as well as relevant safety codes and regulations. It is typically specified by the manufacturer and can vary depending on the type and size of the boiler. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure that the boiler operates within this safe pressure limit.


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


Boiler steam pressure?

Boiler steam pressure refers to the force exerted by steam within a boiler, measured in units like PSI or bar. This pressure level is essential for efficient energy transfer and controls the temperature and flow of steam in heating systems, turbines, and other applications.


A low pressure steam boiler has a maximum allowable working pressure of up to?

The maximum allowable working pressure for a low pressure steam boiler is typically up to 15 psi (pounds per square inch). This indicates the highest pressure level at which the boiler can operate safely without the risk of failure or damage. It is important to adhere to the manufacturer's specified limits to maintain the boiler's safety and functionality.


What is economizer in boiler?

Economizer is an accessory of boiler that recovers the waste heat from the flue gas blown out of the boiler. Thus it actually "economizes" the operational cost or in other words, improves the efficiency of fuel utilisation in the boiler. The temperature of the flue gases ( the mixture of burnt fuel & air ) depends up on the steam pressure ( temperature more precisely ). Higher the steam pressure generated, the higher is the flue gas temperature. Economizer is a heat exchanger which exchanges heat between water ( which is fed in to the boiler ) & the flue gas. It means it increases the temperature of the feed water using the otherwise wasted heat of the flue gas. So the water entering the boiler has higher temperature compared to the one without this economizer. This higher temperature of water requires less amount of heat to generate steam so the operation becomes "economical". Similarly the economizer can also work to heat up the air entering the boiler through the flue gas heat, instead of heating the water.


What is the cut out temp on a steam boiler?

Steam Boilers don't usually cut out on temperature but when they reach a preset pressure.


What is difference between 500MW boiler 660MW boiler?

500 MW Boiler is sub-critical Boiler which generates steam at pressure lower than the critical pressure ie below 221.2 kg/sqcm. where as the 660 MW boiler is super critical boiler which operates steam pressure above critical pressure.
