Some of the major problems directly associated with water
quality that will effect boiler performance are listed below
SCALE is a very hard substance
that adheres directly to heating surfaces forming a layer of
insulation. This layer of insulation will decrease heat transfer
efficiency. Scale also results in metal fatigue/failure from
overheating, energy waste, high maintenance costs and unnecessary
safety risks. A one-sixteenth inch thickness of scale in a firetube
boiler can result in a 12.5% increase in fuel consumption.
FOULING occurs when a restriction
develops in piping and equipment passageways and results in
inefficient water flow. The fouling of boiler room equipment
directly impacts energy efficiencies and cost of operations.
The MagVent range of dirt separators is an excellent aid to prevent fouling and scale inclusion on Heating & Cooling installations. Thus cutting fuel bills and pre-longing a pipework system’s life span. This also includes boilers, radiators, control valves, pumps, chiller units, etc, etc. |
