The Dangers of Steam Generator Scaling

Steam generator for our production life to provide the required steam, in industry occupies an important position, the application is also more and more widely used, but the use of a long time, may be due to the use of water quality or infrequent cleaning, resulting in steam generator scaling, some people may think that there is no big problem, look at the following on the dangers of scaling of the steam generator you may change your mind:

1, the heating surface damage: the steam generator with scale, because the heat transfer function becomes worse, the heat of fuel combustion can not be quickly transferred to the generator water, resulting in the furnace and flue gas temperature increases. As a result, the temperature difference between the two sides of the heated surface increases, the metal Bi-warmer, strength decreases, under the effect of steam generator pressure, the onset of bulging, and even cracked.

2, waste of fuel: steam generator scaling, so that the heat transfer function of the heated surface deteriorates, the heat released by the fuel combustion can not be transferred to the steam generator water in a timely manner, a lot of heat is taken away by the flue gas to form the exhaust temperature is too high, the exhaust if the loss of smoke to add the thermal power of the steam generator to decline. In order to adhere to the additional parameters of the steam generator, it is necessary to add more fuel, thus wasting fuel, about 1 millimeter of steam generator scale will waste more than one percent of the fuel.

3, the steam generator power drop: steam generator scaling, because the heat transfer function becomes worse, to reach the extra transpiration, you need to spend more fuel, but with the thickness of the steam generator scaling to add, the furnace chamber volume is certain, fuel consumption is limited.

We found that the steam generator scaling may cause its heating surface is damaged, fuel waste, and even the performance of the steam generator is reduced, so the relevant workers in the use of equipment must avoid the emergence of these problems, whether it is from the quality of water, choose clean water, or routine maintenance of clean steam generator, can solve this problem.
